Javier works in a photo lab and needs to make a reduced copy of a photograph that is 8 inches long. The customer wants the copy

to have a length of 4.5 inches. Each time he presses the reduce button on the copier, the copy is reduced by 12%. Javier and his boss had an argument, because Javier claimed that pressing the button 5 times would be enough to fulfill the customer's request. His boss said that pressing the button 5 times would result in a length less than the desired 4.5 inches. Which of the following conclusions can be made?

To find the percentage that the customer wants reduced, we use this equation:
8n = 4.5
n = 4.5/8
n = 0.5626
Because javier believes that reducing 12% 5 times would work, he is assuming that:
56.26 - 60 = 0
This is not the case.
Javier's boss is correct.

The heights of apricot trees in an orchard are approximated by a normal distribution model with a mean of 18 feet and a standard
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

0.9544

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that mean=18 and standard deviation=1 and we have to find P(16<X<20).

P(16<X<20)=P(z1<Z<z2)

z1=(x1-mean)/standard deviation

z1=(16-18)/1=-2

z2=(x2-mean)/standard deviation

z2=(20-18)/1=2

P(16<X<20)=P(z1<Z<z2)=P(-2<Z<2)

P(16<X<20)=P(-2<Z<0)+P(0<Z<2)

P(16<X<20)=0.4772+0.4772=0.9544

The probability that the height of a tree is between 16 and 20 feet is 95.44%
