Answer:

z=-0.674

And if we solve for \mu we got

\mu=12 +0.674*0.4=12.270

So then the mean is 'mu = 12.270 for this case.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(\mu,\sqrt{0.16}= 0.4)  

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>12)=0.85   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.25 of the area on the left and 0.85 of the area on the right it's z=-0.674. On this case P(Z<-0.674)=0.25 and P(z>-0.674)=0.85

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=-0.674

And if we solve for \mu we got

\mu=12 +0.674*0.4=12.270

So then the mean is 'mu = 12.270 for this case.

What is the value of x if the perimeter of both shapes is the same?
AveGali [126]

The value of x is: \frac{4}{3}

<u><em>Recall</em></u>:

Perimeter of a shape is the sum of all its sides

<em>Thus</em>:

Perimeter of the triangle = x + x +x+ 4 = 3x + 4

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(2x) + 2(x) = 4x + 2x = 6x

We are told that the perimeter of both shapes are equal. Set both perimeters equal and solve for x.

3x + 4 = 6x

<em>Add like terms</em>

<em />4 = 6x - 3x\\4 = 3x

<em>Divide both sides by 3</em>

<em />\frac{4}{3} = x\\x = \frac{4}{3}

The value of x = \frac{4}{3}
