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.

How many solutions does an equation have when you isolate the variable and it equals a constant?
OLEGan [10]

1 solution is available when variable equals a constant.

Answer: Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

You will be able to determine if an equation has one solution (which is when one variable equals one number), or if it has no solution (the two sides of the equation are not equal to each other) or infinite solutions (the two sides of the equation are identical).

The ordered pair that is the solution of both equations is the solution of the system. A system of two linear equations can have one solution, an infinite number of solutions, or no solution. If a consistent system has exactly one solution, it is independent.
