Answer:

P=0.954 or 95.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for the standardized normal distribution to find Z:

Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

Where μ is the mean (μ=20) and σ is the standard deviation (σ=2.6).  

Z_{1} =\frac{14.8-20}{2.6}=-2.0

Z_{1} =\frac{25.2-20}{2.6}=2.0

In the table of the normal distribution, we can look for positive values z, and these values are going to represent the area under the curve between z=0 and the values searched. the negatives values are found by symmetry (with the corresponding positive value but remember this area is under the left side of the curve).  To find a value in the table, find the units in the first column and the follow over the same row till you find the decimals required.

P_1=0.4772

P_2=0.4772

P_1 represents the probability of length being between 14.8 and 20 (the mean) and P_2 represents the probability of length being between 20 and 25.2, The requested probability is the sum of these two.

P=P_1+P_2=0.954

What expressions equal to 1 forth of 52
Klio2033 [76]
Remember that x/4 and 1/4*x is the same thing.

1/4*52 is therefore the same as 52/4. Fractions represent division, so 52 divided by 4 is also correct.
0.25*x is the same as 1/4*x because 1/4=0.25
4% of 52 is incorrect because the decimal form of 4% is 0.04, which is not the same as 0.25

Final answer: B
