<span>In order to factor the equation we must first find the highest number divisible by both 81 and 27p. In this case both 81 and 27 are divisible by 27. Once you take 27 from both 81 and 27p you are left with (27)(3-p)...................</span>

Suppose the force acting on a column that helps to support a building is a normally distributed random variable X with mean valu

Sauron [17]

Answer:

(1) 0.4207

(2) 0.7799

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Mean value,

$\mu = 15.0$

Standard deviation,

$\sigma = 1.25$

(1) P(X ≥ 17.5) = 1 - P( X ≤ 17.5)

$= 1- P(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{17.5-\mu}{\sigma})$

$=1-P(z\leq \frac{17.5 - 15}{1.25})$

$=1-P(z\leq \frac{2.5}{1.25})$

$=1-P(z\leq 2)$

$=1- 0.5793$ ( By using z-score table )

= 0.4207

(2) P(14 ≤ X ≤ 18) = P(X ≤ 18) - P(X ≤ 14)

$=P(z\leq \frac{18 - 15}{1.25}) - P(z\leq \frac{14 - 15}{1.25})$

$=P(z\leq \frac{3}{1.25}) - P(z\leq -\frac{1}{1.25})$

$=P(z\leq 2.4) - P(z\leq -0.8)$

= 0.9918 - 0.2119

= 0.7799
