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

Which expression is equivalent to 2(x + 7) – 18x + = ?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

-16x + 14 or 2(7-8x)

Step-by-step explanation:

= 2(x + 7) – 18x

= 2x + 14 -18x

= -16x + 14

or

= 2(7-8x)

Suppose the linear regression line y = 3.27x + 1.52 predicts the weight of a large dog, in pounds, x weeks after it is born. Abo
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

y=21.14

Step-by-step explanation:

x=6 because after 6 weeks

y= 3.27(6)+ 1.52

y=19.62 + 1.52

y=21.14

A pool in the shape of s rectangle has a perimeter 80 feet. The pool is 8 feet less wide than it is long
kykrilka [37]
So, 80 - 8. equals 72 / 2  = 36... then add 36 + 8 to one and you have 44...
44 for length and 36 for width
