Given:
3 kids
72 is the product of their ages.
There is a youngest child.

This means that all three are of different ages. We need to factor 72 into 3 integers.
Let us use prime factorization:

72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2 = 18
18 ÷ 2 = 9
  9 ÷ 3 = 3

Prime factors are: 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3    OR 2³ x 3²

3 ages.

eldest      = 3³ = 9
middle     = 2² = 4
youngest  = 2¹ = 2

2 x 4 = 8
8 x 9 = 72

The Apple, Inc. sales manager for the Chicago West Suburban region is disturbed about the large number of complaints her office
ankoles [38]

Answer:

0.6856

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{The missing part of the question states that we should Note: that  N(108,20) model to } \\ \\  \text{ } \text{approximate the distribution of weekly complaints).]}

Now; assuming X = no of complaints received in a week

Required:

To find P(77 < X < 120)

Using a Gaussian Normal Distribution (\mu =108, \sigma = 20)

Using Z scores:

Z = \dfrac{77-108}{20} \\\\ Z = -\dfrac{35}{20} \\ \\  Z  -1.75

As a result  X = 77 for N(108,20) is approximately equal to  to Z = -1.75 for N(0,1)

SO;

Z = \dfrac{120-108}{20} \\ \\  Z = \dfrac{12}{20}\\ \\  Z = 0.6

Here; X = 77 for a N(108,20) is same to Z = 0.6 for N(0,1)

Now, to determine:

P(-1.75 < Z < 0.6) = P(Z < 0.6) - P( Z < - 1.75)

From the standard normal Z-table:

P(-1.75 < Z < 0.6) = 0.7257 - 0.0401

P(-1.75 < Z < 0.6) = 0.6856
