Answer:
0.1056
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean(μ) = 12 ounce
Standard deviation (σ) = 0.2 ounce
P(x<11.75) = ???
Let x be the random variable for the amount of soda a machine will dispense.
Using normal distribution
Z = (x - μ) / σ
Z = (11.75 - 12) / 0.2
Z = (-0.25)/0.2
Z = -1.25
From the normal distribution table
1.28 is 0.3944
Φ(z) is the tabular value of z
Φ(z) = 0.3944
Recall that when Z is negative
P(x<a) = 0.5 - Φ(z)
P(x < 11.75) = 0.5 - 0.3944
= 0.1056
They want to know the probability of landing in the blue and red section at the same time. In other words, they want to know the probability of landing in the purple section.
We'll need the area of the purple square. This square is 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches. This is because 4 - 2.5 = 1.5
So the purple square has an area of 1.5*1.5 = 2.25 square inches
Divide this over the total area of the largest square (which is 9x9) to get 2.25/81 = 0.02777... where the 7's go on forever
Round that to two decimal places. The final answer is 0.03
Side note: 2.25/81 is equivalent to the reduced fraction 1/36 (express 2.25/81 as 225/8100 and then divide both parts by the GCF 225)
The answer for both of these would be a rectangle.
A rectangular prism has 6 faces, all of which are rectangles. Slicing the prism parallel to any of the faces, whether they are end faces or bases, will result in a rectangular cross-section.
