Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the incubation times are approximately normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = incubation times of fertilized eggs in days

µ = mean incubation time

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 19 days

σ = 1 day

a) For the 20th percentile for incubation times, it means that 20% of the incubation times are below or even equal to 19 days(on the left side). We would determine the z score corresponding to 20%(20/100 = 0.2)

Looking at the normal distribution table, the z score corresponding to the probability value is - 0.84

Therefore,

- 0.84 = (x - 19)/1

x = - 0.84 + 19 = 18.16

b) for the incubation times that make up the middle 97​% of fertilized eggs, the probability is 97% that the incubation times lie below and above 19 days. Thus, we would determine 2 z values. From the normal distribution table, the two z values corresponding to 0.97 are

1.89 and - 1.89

For z = 1.89,

1.89 = (x - 19)/1

x = 1.89 + 19 = 20.89 days

For z = - 1.89,

- 1.89 = (x - 19)/1

x = - 1.89 + 19 = 17.11 days

the incubation times that make up the middle 97​% of fertilized eggs are

17.11 days and 20.89 days

jasenka [17]

Answer:

y  = 2x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

y is the cost (which we don't know)

2x is the $2 per card with x representing the number of cards (which we don't know)

And of course 10 is the cover charge.

The ratio of Tv commercial mins to scheduled show time mins is 6 to 24 how many mins of commercial time will be seen during a 2
vodomira [7]
Well first set up the first ratio as 6/24. That is commercial mins over show time mins. Then to keep the units the same convert 2 hours into minutes which would be 120 minutes. Then set up your next ratio as x/120 since you’re trying to find the commercial minutes. Then cross multiply so that it’s 24x=720 and then x=30 and that’s the amount of commercial minutes for 2 hours.
