Write an equation in slope-intercept form with a

Thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

(a) The probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm is 0.119.

(b) The probability that the thickness is more than 7.0 mm is 0.119.

(c) The probability that the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm is 0.762.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 5.0 millimeters (mm) and a standard deviation of 1.7 mm.

Let X = thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village.

So, X ~ Normal( $\mu=5.0,\sigma^{2} =1.7^{2}$ )

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean thickness = 5.0 mm

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 1.7 mm

(a) The probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm is given by = P(X < 3.0 mm)

P(X < 3.0 mm) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{3.0-5.0}{1.7}$ ) = P(Z < -1.18) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 1.18)

= 1 - 0.8810 = 0.119

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.18 in the z table which has an area of 0.881.

(b) The probability that the thickness is more than 7.0 mm is given by = P(X > 7.0 mm)

P(X > 7.0 mm) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ > $\frac{7.0-5.0}{1.7}$ ) = P(Z > 1.18) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 1.18)

= 1 - 0.8810 = 0.119

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.18 in the z table which has an area of 0.881.

(c) The probability that the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm is given by = P(3.0 mm < X < 7.0 mm) = P(X < 7.0 mm) - P(X $\leq$ 3.0 mm)

P(X < 7.0 mm) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{7.0-5.0}{1.7}$ ) = P(Z < 1.18) = 0.881

P(X $\leq$ 3.0 mm) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{3.0-5.0}{1.7}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -1.18) = 1 - P(Z < 1.18)

= 1 - 0.8810 = 0.119

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.18 in the z table which has an area of 0.881.

Therefore, P(3.0 mm < X < 7.0 mm) = 0.881 - 0.119 = 0.762.

the following equation represents the total distance (d) that the Benson family has traveled from their home, after traveling 10

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The distance the Bensons had traveled from their home $3\frac{1}{2}$ hours after picking up their grand parents 292.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation for the distance the Benson family traveled from their home can be presented as follows;

d = 55·t + 100

Where;

d = The total distance that the Benson family has traveled from their home after traveling 100 miles to pick up their grandparents

t = The time duration the Benson family have been traveled from their grandparents home on the way to their vacation

To find how far from their home the Bensons will be after 3 1/2 hours of driving with their grand parents, we substitute t with 3 1/2 hours or 3.5 hours as follows;

d = 55·t + 100

When t = $3\frac{1}{2}$ hours, we get;

$d = 55 \times 3\frac{1}{2} + 100 = 292.5 \ miles$
