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

How do you write 3.25 in simplest form
dedylja [7]
3.25 would be 3 1/4 because,

Step 1: You would rewrite the decimal number as a fraction with 1 in the denominator. So, 3.25 = 3.24/1

Step 2: Multiply it by 1 to eliminate 2 decimals places, so multiply the top and bottom by 10^2 = 100
3.25/1 x 100/100 = 325/100
Step 3: Now you find the greatest common factor, also known as GCF, of 325 and 100 if it exits then you reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by it. GCF = 25
3.25/100 divided by 25/25 = 13/4
Now you would simplify it to make a proper fraction getting your answer
3 1/4
