The probability that a spider selected at a random from the colony weighs more than 12 grams is given by:

P(x\ \textgreater \ 12)=1-P(x\ \textless \ 12) \\  \\ =1-P\left(z\ \textless \  \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \right)=1-P\left(z\ \textless \  \frac{12-11}{2} \right) \\  \\ =1-P(z\ \textless \ 0.5)=1-0.69146=0.30854

Thus, given that there are 1000 adult spiders in the colony, the number of spiders in the colony that weigh more than 12 grams is given by 0.30854 * 1000 ≈ 309

We have to find the probability N(11,2)>12, wherein N(11,2)
is the normal law with mean 11 and standard deviation 2. 
Using a scientific calculator we get the probability 0.3. 

Now multiply by the population which is 1000 like this:
0.3*1000=300.

There is 300 <span>spiders  in the colony which weigh more than 12 grams</span>

Which statement is true for the vertical number line? A. -2.5 is located below -3.5 . B. -4.8 is located below 4.8 . C. 3.25 is
meriva

Answer:

B. -4.8 is located below 4.8 .  TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical line is called the Y - AXIS.

Here also, the integers are expressed as same as the horizontal axis.

.... -5, -4, -3, -2, -1 , 0 , 1 2,3 4,5 ....

In vertical line, If we move above 0, the value INCREASES.

If we move Below 0, the value DECREASES.

Now, consider the given cases:

A. -2.5 is located below -3.5 .

Here, as -3 lies Below -2.

So, -2 > -3 ⇒  -2.5  >  -3.5

So, -2.5 is located ABOVE 3.5.

B. -4.8 is located below 4.8 .

Here, as -4 lies Below 4.

So, 4 > -4 ⇒  4.8  >  -4.8

So, -4.8 is located BELOW 4.8.

C. 3.25 is located above 3.75 .

Here, 3.75  > 3.25  

⇒  3.75  is located ABOVE 3.25.

D. -0.5 is located below -1.5 .

Here, as -1.5 lies Below 0.5.

So, -0.5 > -1.5

⇒  -0.5  is located ABOVE -1.5.

E. 0 is located below -0.87 .

Here, as  -0.87  lies Below 0.

So,0  > -0.87

⇒  0  is located ABOVE-0.87.

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-3,4) and (4,-1)
Serhud [2]

Answer:

slope = - \frac{5}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 1)

m = \frac{-1-4}{4+3} = - \frac{5}{7}
