Answer:

97.6% of the trees will have diameters between 7.6 and 18.6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 12 inches

Standard Deviation, σ = 2.2 inches

We are given that the distribution of diameter of tree is a mound shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

P(diameters between 7.6 and 18.6 inches)

$P(7.6 \leq x \leq 18.6) = P(\displaystyle\frac{7.6 - 12}{2.2} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{18.6-12}{2.2}) = P(-2 \leq z \leq 3)\\\\= P(z \leq 3) - P(z < -2)\\= 0.999 - 0.023 = 0.976= 97.6\%$

$P(7.6 \leq x \leq 18.6) = 97.6\%$

97.6% of the trees will have diameters between 7.6 and 18.6 inches.

The function P(x) = –0.015x^2 + 1.2x – 11.5 gives the profit, in thousands of dollars, when a company sells a new product at x d

dlinn [17]

Answer:

The profit decreases by $ 375 for every $ 1 increase in the selling price.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the definition of the secant line we get that the average rate of change of $P(x) = -0.015\cdot x^{2}+1.2\cdot x -11.5$ , where $x$ is the selling price of the product, measured in dollars per unit, is:
