The amount of rainfall in january in a certain city is normally distributed with a mean of 4.3 inches and a standard deviation o
f 0.3 inches. find the value of the quartile q1. 1.1 4.2 4.1 4.5
1 answer:
We start by showing the position of the first quartile, Q1 on the normal distribution graph. Q1 happens at 25% of the data.
The graph is shown below
We are interested in the area to the left of Q1 and we know that the probability is 0.25
We can find out the value of z-score from the table as shown below
The z-score when p=0.25 is 0.68
then changing this z-score into the actual value

We are looking for the amount of wax it will take to fill up that size candle mold to make that candle. That means that we are looking for the volume of wax, and the shape is a cylinder. The volume formula for a cylinder is
.
For us, that will look like this:
which translates to
V = 3.14(9)(5) which gives us a volume of 141.3 cubic inches. Rounding to the nearest cubic inch is simply 141 cubic inches of wax.
