Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The mean (μ) one-way commute to work in Chowchilla is 7 minutes. The standard deviation (σ) is 2.4 minutes.

The z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) For x < 2:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{2-7}{2.4} =-2.08

From normal distribution table,  P(x < 2) = P(z < -2.08) = 0.0188 = 1.88%

b) For x = 2:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{2-7}{2.4} =-2.08

For x = 11:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{11-7}{2.4} =1.67

From normal distribution table, P(2 < x < 11) = P(-2.08 < z < 1.67 ) = P(z < 1.67) - P(z < -2.08) = 0.9525 - 0.0188 = 0.9337  

c) For x = 11:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{11-7}{2.4} =1.67

From normal distribution table,  P(x < 11) = P(z < 1.67) = 0.9525

d) For x = 2:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{2-7}{2.4} =-2.08

For x = 5:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{5-7}{2.4} =-0.83

From normal distribution table, P(2 < x < 5) = P(-2.08 < z < -0.83 ) = P(z < -0.83) - P(z < -2.08) =  0.2033- 0.0188 = 0.1845  

e) For x = 5:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{5-7}{2.4} =-0.83

From normal distribution table,  P(x < 5) = P(z < -0.83) = 0.2033

In the figure below, F is between E and G, and G is between F and H. IF EH=9, FH = 7, and EG=6, find FG.
shutvik [7]

Answer:

EH = 9

FH = 7

EG = 6

EF = EH - FH

EF = 9 -7

EF = 2

FG = EG -EF

FG = 6 -2

FG = 4
