Answer:

The correct answer to the question for (a)  the percentage of the plants which are taller than 16 inches is 2.28 % (b)the percent of the plants are at most 13 inches is 69.15% (c)the percent of the plants that are between 7 inches and 14 inches is 83.51% (d) the percent of the plants that are at least 3 inches taller than or at least 3 inches shorter than the mean height is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Recall that

(a)μ = 12 and б = 2

Then,

Z = x- μ/б

= 16- 12 /2 = 2

thus,

1-p (z<2) = 1- 0.9772 = 0.0228

= 2.28 %

Therefore the percentage of the plants which are taller than 16 inches is 2.28 %

(b)  Z =  13-12/2

which is = 0.5

p (z<0.5)  = 0.6915

=69.15%

Therefore the percent of the plants are at most 13 inches is 69.15%

(c) we calculate for the percent of the plants that are between 7 inches and 14 inches

Now,

p(7<x<14) = p (7- 12/2 <z< 14-12/2)

p = (-2.5<z<1)

which is, =0.8351

=83.51%

(d)What percent of the plants are at least 3 inches taller than or at least 3 inches shorter than the mean height

Now,

Z = x- μ/б = 3-12/2 = -4.5

Thus,

p(z>-4.5) = p(z>-4.5)

= 1

Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression<br> -k - ( - 8k)
Svetllana [295]

____________________________________________________

Answer:

7k

____________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

We are trying to combine like terms with the expression: -k - ( - 8k)

We are pretty much solving it.

Solve:

-k - ( - 8k)

The "- ( -" turns into a plus sign.

So it would look like:

-k - -8k or -k + 8k

Now, you would finish solving

-k + 8k = 7k
