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.

Express 25km/h into m/s?
Helen [10]

Answer:

3600(seconds) can also be expressed as 1(kilometer/hour) = 5/18 (meters/second), which is its simplified form. To convert km/h to m/s, directly multiply the given value of speed by the fraction 5/18.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think that explanation is obvious
