Answer:

0.6915 is the required probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

N(3.4, 3.1)

Mean, μ = 3.4

Standard Deviation, σ = 3.1

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We have to evaluate:

P(x > \mu-0.5(\sigma)\\P(x > 3.4-0.5(3.1))\\P(x> 1.85)

Evaluation of probability:

P( x > 1.85) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{1.85 - 3.4}{3.1}) = P(z >-0.5)

= 1 - P(z \leq -0.5)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 1.85) = 1 - 0.3085=0.6915 = 69.15\%

0.6915 is the probability that the percent change in worker output per hour from the previous quarter is more than 0.5 standard deviations below the mean.

42. The diagram represents a ramp in the shape of a right triangle and the lengths
oee [108]

The length of the ramp is  61 feet.

<h3>What is the length of the ramp?</h3>

In order to determine the  length of the ramp, Pythagoras theorem would be used.

The Pythagoras theorem: a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = base

c = hypotenuse

√11² + 60²

√121 + 3600

√3721

= 61 feet

Please find attached the image of the ramp. To learn more about Pythagoras theorem, please check: brainly.com/question/14580675
