Entomologist heinz kaefer has a colony of bongo spiders in his lab. there are 1000 adult spiders in the colony, and their weight

s are normally distributed with mean 11 grams and standard deviation 2 grams. about how many spiders are there in the colony which weigh more than 12 grams?

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>

Problema de capacidades Una empresa aceitera ha envasado 3000 litros de aceite en 1200 botellas de dos y de cinco litros. ¿Cuánt
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Hay 200 botellas de 5 litros y 1000 botellas de 2 litros.

Step-by-step explanation:

Un sistema de ecuaciones lineales es un conjunto de dos o más ecuaciones de primer grado, en el cual se relacionan dos o más incógnitas.

Resolver un sistema de ecuaciones consiste en encontrar el valor de cada incógnita para que se cumplan todas las ecuaciones del sistema.

En este caso, las variables a calcular son:

  • x= cantidad de botellas de 2 litros.
  • y= cantidad de botellas de 5 litros.

Una empresa aceitera ha envasado 3000 litros de aceite en 1200 botellas de dos y de cinco litros. Entonces es posible plantear el siguiente sistema de ecuaciones:

\left \{ {{2*x+5*y=3000} \atop {x+y=1200}} \right.

Existen varios métodos para resolver un sistema de ecuaciones. Resolviendo por el método de sustitución, que consiste en despejar o aislar una de las incógnitas y sustituir su expresión en la otra ecuación, despejas x de la segunda ecuación:

x= 1200 - y

Sustituyendo la expresión en la primer ecuación:

2*(1200 - y) + 5*y=3000

Resolviendo se obtiene:

2*1200 - 2*y + 5*y= 3000

2400 +3*y= 3000

3*y= 3000 - 2400

3*y= 600

y= 600÷3

y= 200

Reemplazando en la expresión x= 1200 - y:

x= 1200 - y

x=1200 -200

x= 1000

The complement of angle a is 20° less than half the supplement of angle a. find the measure of angle a.
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

∠a=40°

Step-by-step explanation:

complement of angle a=90-a

supplement of angle a=180-a

90-a=1/2(180-a)-20

multiply by 2

180-2a=180-a-40

180-180+40=-a+2a

a=40
