Well 9 3/4 is 9.75 and 27 1/2 is 27.5 so if we take 27.5 and subtract 9.75 you get 17.75 and then all you have to do is 17.75/2 which is 8.875 so the answer would be 8.875 inches on either side
Look at it this way:
When you flip a coin, the probability of it landing with EITHER side showing
is 100%.
This leads us to the rule ...
The sum of the probabilities of
all possible outcomes is 100%.
For a coin: (probability of heads) plus (probability of tails) = 100%.
That just says: We're 100% sure that the coin will land with either
heads or tails up.
An "honest" coin gets heads 50% of the time and tails the other 50%.
But if the coin is all bent and squashed and has a feather stuck to
one side and a wad of gum on the other side so that it comes up
heads 70% of the time, then the coin isn't 'honest'. But it still has to
land EITHER heads OR tails, so the sum of the probabilities is still 100%.
So the probability of heads is 30%.
Answer:
The answer to the question is;
The probability that the resulting sample mean of nicotine content will be less than 0.89 is 0.1587 or 15.87 %.
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean of the distribution = 0.9 mg
The standard deviation of the sample = 0.1 mg
The size of the sample = 100
The mean of he sample = 0.89
The z score for sample mean is given by
where
X = Mean of the sample
μ = Mean of the population
σ = Standard deviation of the population
Therefore Z =
= -1
From the standard probabilities table we have the probability for a z value of -1.0 = 0.1587
Therefore the probability that the resulting sample mean will be less than 0.89 = 0.1587 That is the probability that the mean is will be less than 0.89 is 15.87 % probability.
