Answer:

(a) P (<em>Z</em> < 2.36) = 0.9909                    (b) P (<em>Z</em> > 2.36) = 0.0091

(c) P (<em>Z</em> < -1.22) = 0.1112                      (d) P (1.13 < <em>Z</em> > 3.35)  = 0.1288

(e) P (-0.77< <em>Z</em> > -0.55)  = 0.0705       (f) P (<em>Z</em> > 3) = 0.0014

(g) P (<em>Z</em> > -3.28) = 0.9995                   (h) P (<em>Z</em> < 4.98) = 0.9999.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider a random variable, X \sim N (\mu, \sigma^{2}), then Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}, is a standard normal variate with mean, E (<em>Z</em>) = 0 and Var (<em>Z</em>) = 1. That is, Z \sim N (0, 1).

In statistics, a standardized score is the number of standard deviations an observation or data point is above the mean.  The <em>z</em>-scores are standardized scores.

The distribution of these <em>z</em>-scores is known as the standard normal distribution.

(a)

Compute the value of P (<em>Z</em> < 2.36) as follows:

P (<em>Z</em> < 2.36) = 0.99086

                   ≈ 0.9909

Thus, the value of P (<em>Z</em> < 2.36) is 0.9909.

(b)

Compute the value of P (<em>Z</em> > 2.36) as follows:

P (<em>Z</em> > 2.36) = 1 - P (<em>Z</em> < 2.36)

                   = 1 - 0.99086

                   = 0.00914

                   ≈ 0.0091

Thus, the value of P (<em>Z</em> > 2.36) is 0.0091.

(c)

Compute the value of P (<em>Z</em> < -1.22) as follows:

P (<em>Z</em> < -1.22) = 0.11123

                   ≈ 0.1112

Thus, the value of P (<em>Z</em> < -1.22) is 0.1112.

(d)

Compute the value of P (1.13 < <em>Z</em> > 3.35) as follows:

P (1.13 < <em>Z</em> > 3.35) = P (<em>Z</em> < 3.35) - P (<em>Z</em> < 1.13)

                            = 0.99960 - 0.87076

                            = 0.12884

                            ≈ 0.1288

Thus, the value of P (1.13 < <em>Z</em> > 3.35)  is 0.1288.

(e)

Compute the value of P (-0.77< <em>Z</em> > -0.55) as follows:

P (-0.77< <em>Z</em> > -0.55) = P (<em>Z</em> < -0.55) - P (<em>Z</em> < -0.77)

                                = 0.29116 - 0.22065

                                = 0.07051

                                ≈ 0.0705

Thus, the value of P (-0.77< <em>Z</em> > -0.55)  is 0.0705.

(f)

Compute the value of P (<em>Z</em> > 3) as follows:

P (<em>Z</em> > 3) = 1 - P (<em>Z</em> < 3)

             = 1 - 0.99865

             = 0.00135

             ≈ 0.0014

Thus, the value of P (<em>Z</em> > 3) is 0.0014.

(g)

Compute the value of P (<em>Z</em> > -3.28) as follows:

P (<em>Z</em> > -3.28) = P (<em>Z</em> < 3.28)

                    = 0.99948

                    ≈ 0.9995

Thus, the value of P (<em>Z</em> > -3.28) is 0.9995.

(h)

Compute the value of P (<em>Z</em> < 4.98) as follows:

P (<em>Z</em> < 4.98) = 0.99999

                   ≈ 0.9999

Thus, the value of P (<em>Z</em> < 4.98) is 0.9999.

**Use the <em>z</em>-table for the probabilities.

(5 Points)<br> all (1 – 3K)<br> -396<br> 0-374<br> 0 -198<br> 0 -187
Triss [41]

Answer:−3K−395,−374,−198,−187

Step-by-step explanation:

Remove parentheses.

1−3K−396,0−374,0−198,0−187

Simplify  1-3K-3961−3K−396  to  -3K-395−3K−395.

−3K−395,0−374,0−198,0−187

Simplify  0-3740−374  to  -374−374.

−3K−395,−374,0−198,0−187

Simplify  0-1980−198  to  -198−198.

−3K−395,−374,−198,0−187

Simplify  0-1870−187  to  -187−187.

A snowstorm began on Monday evening. It snowed steadily until 6:00 am on Tuesday morning when the snow was 12 inches deep. Kevin
poizon [28]

Answer:

what is expected at 7am is 15 inches deep snow but what we have is 12 inches deep snow. The equation has failed in its prediction.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate if the prediction made by an equation modeled is correct.

Firstly let’s look at the equation in question;

y = 3t - 6

where y is the snow depth and t is the number of hours after midnight.

now we are looking at 7am, that’s 7 hours past 12am, meaning 7 hours after midnight.

let’s plug the value of t as 7 into the equation

y = 3(7) - 6

y = 21-6

y = 15 inches

according to the equation by Kevin, what is expected is 15 inches deep snow but what we have is 12 inches deep snow. The equation has failed in its prediction.

a full container of juice 64 fluid ounces.how many 7 fluid ounces serving of juice are in a full containet?
saul85 [17]
To find the amount of 7 fluid ounce servings in this container, divide 64 by 7 to get the answer of about 9.14 (rounded to the nearest one hundredth). So 9 full servings and an additional .142857... ounces as well.

Hope this helps!
