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. For a randomly found shard, find the following probabilities.
a. the thickness is less than 3.0 mm
b. the thickness is more than 7.0 mm
c. the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm

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.

Ann is going to rent a truck for one day. There are two companies she can choose from, and they have the following prices.
ipn [44]

Answer:

Ans: greater than 40 mileage  Company A will charge less than Company B

Step-by-step explanation:

as company A charges a fix amount $93 for any distance and company B charges variable amount starting from $65.there will be a certain mileage after that the amount charged by company B should be greater than company A.

let for greater than m mileage company A will

charge less than company B.

charge for company A for m mileage= $93

charge for company B for m mileage= $65 + $0.70*m

so,

   93  ≤ 65+0.70*m

93-65 ≤ 65+0.70*m -65

  28   ≤ 0.70*m

28*10 ≤ 7 *m

280     ≤ 7m

280/7  ≤ 7m/7

    40  ≤ m

7. A shopkeeper buys 300 identical articles a tota
sashaice [31]

Step-by-step explanation and answers:

300 articles at a total cost of $1500:

        $1500 / 300 = $5 / article

Sells 260 articles at a price 20% above this ^ price:

         20% of $5 is $1,   so $5 + $1 = $6

               Then he sells 260 articles at the price of ^ $6

               260 * $6 = $1560

Each of the remaining articles is sold at a price that's 50% of the 260 he sold.

         He sold those for $6,  so he would now sell the last 40 for $3

               From the remaining 40 articles, he makes 40 * $3, or $120

The shopkeeper made $1560 + $120 = $1680,  which is $180 more than he bought them for ($1500)

Therefore, he made a profit percentage of $180 / $1500,  (the amount of profit over the amount spent).

He made a profit percentage, compared to the cost price, of 12%.

The product of 2 √3 and 3 √12 simplified form is...
Serjik [45]
<h2>Greetings!</h2><h3>When multiplying two roots together, you can rearrange the equation so that the roots are next to each other and so are the whole numbers:</h3>

2 x 3 x \sqrt{3} x \sqrt{12}

<h3>This means that 2 x 3 is simple, = 6,</h3><h3>But when multiplying \sqrt{3} x \sqrt{12} you simply multply the two numbers and put them in a square root:</h3>

\sqrt{3} x \sqrt{12} = \sqrt{36}

<h3>But this can be square rooted to 6, which then means that the equation is now:</h3>

2 x 3 x 6 = 36

<h3>So the simplified form is 36.</h3>
