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.

What is the volume of the metal in this heavy-duty pipe? (It is not drawn to scale and the inside of the pipe is empty space.) S
Jlenok [28]
The volume of the pipe is about 282.6 cubic feet.

First, we need to find the area of each circular cross section and subtract them to find the width of the pipe. The area of a circle is pi(r^2).

pi(3^2) - pi(2^2)
28.26 - 12.56 = 15.7

The width of the pipe is 15.7. Now, multiply that by 18 to find the volume.
15.7 x 18 = 282.6

What is the answer to this question
nadezda [96]
A is the correct answer.

This is because if you multiply 0.25 by 4, that would equal 1. Now, multiply 12 by 4 as well and you'll get 48. So the scale is 1:48.

4.4 . 
there is 5280 feet per mile. Meaning there is 15840 feet in three miles. Divide 15840 feet by 60(number of minutes in an hour and you get 264 , which is how many feet per minute. Divide 264 by 60(number of seconds in a minute) and you get 4.4, the number of feet per second

Suppose you work as a clerk at a local retail store earning $6 per hour. The amount of your weekly paycheck (before taxes are ta
Viktor [21]

Answer:

x is the independent variable and it represents the number of hours worked per week by the clerk.

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent variable refers to a variable in model that is varied or changed in order to examine its effect on another variable. The other variable is called a dependent variable.

A dependent variable is a variable in a model that changes as a result of a change in the independent variable.

From the question, x is the independent variable and its represent the number of hours worked by the clerk.

F(x) represents the amount of your weekly paycheck and it is the dependent variable that changes as the number of hours worked, x, changes.

For example, since we are given:

F(x) = 6x ............................... (1)

Where;

F(x) = = depemdent variable = Amount of weekly paycheck (before taxes are taken out)

6 = coefficient of x = Earning per hour

x = Independent variable = Number of hours worked

Assuming x = 1, we can substitute this into equation (1) and have:

F(x) = 6 * 1 = $6

But when x = 2, we have:

F(x) = 6 * 2 = $12

Therefore, the dependent variable F(x) changes from $6 weekly to $12 weekly as the independent variable x changes form 1 hour to 2 hours weekly.
