Thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

(a) The probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm is 0.119.

(b) The probability that the thickness is more than 7.0 mm is 0.119.

(c) The probability that the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm is 0.762.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 5.0 millimeters (mm) and a standard deviation of 1.7 mm.

Let X = <u><em>thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village.</em></u>

So, X ~ Normal(\mu=5.0,\sigma^{2} =1.7^{2})

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                           Z  =  \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean thickness = 5.0 mm

           \sigma = standard deviation = 1.7 mm

(a) The probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm is given by = P(X < 3.0 mm)

    P(X < 3.0 mm) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{3.0-5.0}{1.7} ) = P(Z < -1.18) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.18)

                                                           = 1 - 0.8810 = <u>0.119</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.18 in the z table which has an area of 0.881.

(b) The probability that the thickness is more than 7.0 mm is given by = P(X > 7.0 mm)

    P(X > 7.0 mm) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{7.0-5.0}{1.7} ) = P(Z > 1.18) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.18)

                                                           = 1 - 0.8810 = <u>0.119</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.18 in the z table which has an area of 0.881.

(c) The probability that the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm is given by = P(3.0 mm < X < 7.0 mm) = P(X < 7.0 mm) - P(X \leq 3.0 mm)

    P(X < 7.0 mm) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{7.0-5.0}{1.7} ) = P(Z < 1.18) = 0.881

    P(X \leq 3.0 mm) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{3.0-5.0}{1.7} ) = P(Z \leq -1.18) = 1 - P(Z < 1.18)

                                                           = 1 - 0.8810 = 0.119

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.18 in the z table which has an area of 0.881.

Therefore, P(3.0 mm < X < 7.0 mm) = 0.881 - 0.119 = 0.762.

Mia had $500 in her account after 5 years. If she got an
irina [24]

Answer:

The initial amount in the account is $333.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the initial amount in the account.

Let the initial amount be $x

Mathematically;

Simple interest = PRT/100

where P is the amount deposited = $x

R is the rate = 10%

T is the time = 5 years

Simple interest = Present amount - Principal = $(500-x)

By substituting;

500-x = (x * 10 * 5)/100

100(500-x) = 50x

50,000 - 100x = 50x

50,000 = 100x + 50x

150x = 50,000

x = 50,000/150

x = 333.33333333

Which to the nearest penny ; x = $333.33

Since this is a triangle all the angles within the triangle add up to 180 degrees so....
82+(9x+2)+(7x)=180
82+2+16x=180
16x+84=180
16x=96
X=6
If we plug in X to angle(9x+2) and angle (7x) we will get 56 and 42. We can get angle 2 by subtracting 180-42 which is 138
FINAL ANSWER: 138 degrees

A scientist running an experiment starts with 100 bacteria cells. These bacteria double their population every 15 hours. Find ho
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer

It will take (t) = 24 hours to reach 300 .

Step by step explanation

It doubles every 15 hours.  initial bacteria = 100

We need to find how long it take for the bacteria cells to increase to 300.

300 = 100(2)^t/15

300/100 = 2^t/15

3 = 2^t/5

Taking "ln" both sides, we get

ln(3) = t/15 ln(2)

t/15 = ln(3)/ln(2)

t/15 = 1.585

t = 1.585 * 15

t = 23.78 hours

t = 24 hours to nearest whole hours.

Thank you.
