The blood platelet counts of a group of women have a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 264.8 and a standard deviation of

63.2. ​(All units are 1000 ​cells/mu​L.) Using the empirical​ rule, find each approximate percentage below. a. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 3 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 75.2 and 454.4​? b. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 201.6 and 328.0​? a. Approximately nothing​% of women in this group have platelet counts within 3 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 75.2 and 454.4. ​(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not​ round.) b.

Answer:

a) Approximately 99.7% of women in this group have platelet counts within 3 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 75.2 and 454.4.

b) Approximately 68% of women in this group have platelet counts between 201.6 and 328.0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed(bell shaped) random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 264.8

Standard deviation = 63.2

a. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 3 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 75.2 and 454.4​?

By the Empirical Rule,

Approximately 99.7% of women in this group have platelet counts within 3 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 75.2 and 454.4.

b. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 201.6 and 328.0​?

201.6 = 264.8 - 63.2

201.6 is one standard deviation below the mean

328 = 264.8 + 63.2

328 is one standard deviation above the mean

By the Empirical rule,

Approximately 68% of women in this group have platelet counts between 201.6 and 328.0.

4. Diego is thinking of two positive numbers. He says, "If we triple the first number and
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34. and two possible pairs of positive numbers are  (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (10, 2) and (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (4, 11).

Step-by-step explanation:

 Let the First positive number be <em>x</em> and second positive number be <em>y.</em>

Triple of first number = 3<em>x</em>

double of second number = 2<em>y</em>

According to question,

3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34

Therefore, the equation is 3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34

So the two possible pair of numbers Diego would be thinking of must satisfy the equation 3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34

Now,  3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34

3<em>x </em>= 34 - 2<em>y</em>

Let x = 10 and by substituting its value in above expression,

3 \times 10 = 34 - 2y

30 = 34 - 2y

2y = 34 - 30

2y = 4

y = 2

Therefore first pair (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (10, 2)

In the same way put x = 4 then,

3<em>x </em>= 34 - 2<em>y</em>

3 \times 4 = 34 - 2y

2y = 34 - 12

2y = 22

y = 11

Therefore first pair (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (4, 11)

Therefore, (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (4, 11) and  (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (10, 2) are the two possible pairs of numbers Diego could be thinking of as these both values satisfy the equation 3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34.

Mindy, a local artist, sells a piece of art at the pizza shop for $15, and the shop takes 15 percent commission. Instead of rece
Yuliya22 [10]
In this question the first thing that needs to be determined is the commission taken by the pizza shop and the amount of money that falls in the part of Mindy.
We already know that Mindy sells the piece of art for $15 and the pizza shop takes 15% commission on it.
Then
Commission taken by the pizza shop = (15/100) * 15
                                                             = 225/100
                                                             = 2.25 dollars
So the pizza shop takes a commission of $2.25 from the sales of each art piece from Mindy.
Then amount that falls in Mindy's part = (15 - 2.25) dollars
                                                             = 12.75 dollars
Now Mindy is not taking the money but taking a pizza worth rupees $12 including 5% sales tax.
Initially it looks like Mindy is making a profit of $0.75 plus the pizza worth $12. So it is a fair deal for Mindy. Now coming to the part of the pizza shop owner, we find that he also gains extra $2.25 from this deal. So it is a fair deal for both the shop keeper and Mindy.
