Hello!
The standard normal distribution is a bell-shaped distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.
a.
You need to find the number of Z so that 0.9986 of the distribution is below it. Symbolically:
P(Z≤a) = 0.9986
To do so you have to use the table of the standard deviation distribution. These tables show values of accumulative probabilities
(right entry, positive values of Z) and
(left entry of the table, negative numbers of Z)Since the probability value greater than 0.5 (remember, for this distribution, the mean is zero and the cumulative probability to the mean is the 50% of the distribution), you have to look for it in the body of the right Z-table and then reach the margins to know the corresponding Z value. The first column shows the integer and first decimal and the first row shows the second decimal.

Z= 2.98
b.
Now you have to look for a value of the distribution that has above it 60% of the distribution, symbolically:
P(Z>b)=0.6
Now the table only gives you values "less or equal than" the corresponding value of Z. So you have to rewrite this expression so that you cand find the missing value. A little reminder: The maximal value of probability for any distribution is 1. So you can rewrite the expression as:
P(Z>b)=0.6 ⇒ P(Z≤b)= 1 - 0.6
P(Z≤b)= 0.4
This value of Z accumulates a probability of 40% since it is less than 50% then you have to look for this value in the left entry of the table and b will be a negative value of Z. Just as before, look for the probability in the body of the table and then the corresponding Z value in the margins. (2nd attachment)
Z= - 0.25

Answer:
9/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert the mixed number 145 into an improper fraction first by multiplying the denominator (5) by the whole number part (1) and add the numerator (4) to get the new numerator. Place the new numerator (9) over the old denominator (5)
95
Let e be equal to what she earned last week.
This week she earned 3e so:
e+3e=72
4e=72
e=18
So she earned $18.00 last week.
Answer: x - 2 + 5 = x - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
At first I was confused. Then I read the question again and translated it.
Less than translated means - 2.
A number, aka X.
and means plus(+).
when you put that together you get,
x - 2 + 5.
The next step is to translate to second part of the equation.
Is means equals(=).
So far we have: X - 2 + 5 = 12.
<em>This is where I got confused...</em>
After solving that peice, we have the words; " 12 less than the number it's self. I wasn't sure if 2 x's could be in the same equation. Now I know they can.
Above, we established that 'a number' is x.
Now, it's talking about that number again because it says; "The number itself." At first, I thought it was talking about 12 - 12! Then I realized that it's not.
The new equation, after understanding that in the second piece isn't 12 - 12, would be none other than,
x - 2 + 5 = 12 - x
I hope this helps!!
