Answer:

42.22% probability that the weight is between 31 and 35 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 34.6, \sigma = 2.8

What is the probability that the weight is between 31 and 35 pounds

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 35 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 31. So

X = 35

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{35 - 34.6}{2.8}

Z = 0.14

Z = 0.14 has a pvalue of 0.5557

X = 31

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{31 - 34.6}{2.8}

Z = -1.11

Z = -1.11 has a pvalue of 0.1335

0.5557 - 0.1335 = 0.4222

42.22% probability that the weight is between 31 and 35 pounds

What is the smallest positive degree angle measure equivalent to sin^-1 (0.391)?
natta225 [31]

Given:

The value is:

\sin^{-1}(0.391)

To find:

The smallest positive degree angle measure equivalent to \sin^{-1}(0.391).

Solution:

We have,

\sin^{-1}(0.391)

Using the scientific calculator, we get

\sin^{-1}(0.391)=23.0167366398^\circ

\sin^{-1}(0.391)\approx 23^\circ

Therefore, the smallest positive degree angle measure equivalent to \sin^{-1}(0.391) is 23 degrees.

Christine performed the following experiment 20 times using a book that contains 462 pages.
wel

Using the probability concept, it is found that there is a 0.3 = 30% experimental probability that Christine will randomly choose a page that is divisible by 3.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

In an experimental probability, these number of outcomes are taken from previous trials.

In this problem:

  • The experiment was made 20 times.
  • Of those, in 6 experiments(81, 105, 171, 159, 297, 387) she choose a page that was divisible by 3.

Then:

p = \frac{6}{20} = 0.3

0.3 = 30% experimental probability that Christine will randomly choose a page that is divisible by 3.
