Answer:

P(X>3.75)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{3.75-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{3.75-4}{0.5})=P(z>-0.5)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and we got:

P(z>-0.5)=1-P(z

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(4,\sqrt{0.25}=0.5)  

Where \mu=4 and \sigma=0.5

We are interested on this probability

P(X>3.75)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>3.75)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{3.75-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{3.75-4}{0.5})=P(z>-0.5)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and we got:

P(z>-0.5)=1-P(z

What is 9/10 divided by 3/4?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

hi! when dividing fractions, we use the KCF rule, which stands for keep,change,flip. we keep the first fraction the same, change the division symbol to multiplication, and flip the second fraction to its reciprocal. therefore, we now have:

9/10 * 4/3

now, we can multiply the numerators and denominators.

36/30

we can simplify this.

6/5

There are two spinners. Each spinner has 10 equal sectors labeled with the numbers 1 through 10.
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

There are 4 prime numbers from 1 to 10: 2, 3, 5, and 7. This means that there are 4 ways to choose the first outcome. There are 5 composite numbers from 1 to 10: 4, 6, 8, 9, and 10 (1 is just 1). So, you just multiply the two numbers together because each depends on each: 4 * 5 = 20 outcomes.
