Answer:

b. 11 apples; 1 orange

Step-by-step explanation:

We test each option, and see if the total is $3.50(what you spend). If the result is different, it is not a possible solution.

a. 1 apple; 11 oranges

1 apple for $0.20

11 oranges for $0.30 each

0.20 + 11*0.30 = $3.50

Possible solution

b. 11 apples; 1 orange

11 apples for $0.20 each

1 orange for $0.30

11*0.2 + 0.3 = 2.5

Not $3.5, so this is not a possible solution.

This is the answer

c. 7 apples; 7 oranges

7*0.2 + 7*0.3 = $3.5

Possible

d. 4 apples; 9 oranges

4*0.2 + 9*0.3 = $3.5

Possible

Sedbober [7]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that:

1. His z-score was of Z = -1.88.

2. There is a 0.0301 = 3.01% probability that a randomly selected person has a smaller E/A ratio than the patient in question 1.

3. Z-score of z = 1.85, there is a 0.0322 = 3.22% probability that a randomly selected patient has a higher E/A ratio.

4. Due to the higher absolute value of the z-score, the first patient had a more extraordinary result.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

In a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

  • It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.
  • After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem:

  • The mean is of \mu = 1.35.
  • The standard deviation is of \sigma = 0.33.

Item 1:

Considering his ratio, we have that X = 0.73, hence:

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

Z = \frac{0.73 - 1.35}{0.33}

Z = -1.88

His z-score was of Z = -1.88.

Item 2:

The probability is the <u>p-value of Z = -1.88</u>, hence, there is a 0.0301 = 3.01% probability that a randomly selected person has a smaller E/A ratio than the patient in question 1.

Item 3:

Score of X = 1.96, hence:

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

Z = \frac{1.96 - 1.35}{0.33}

Z = 1.85

The probability is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z = 1.85, hence, 1 - 0.9678 = 0.0322 = 3.22% probability that a randomly selected patient has a higher E/A ratio.

Item 4:

Due to the higher absolute value of the z-score, the first patient had a more extraordinary result.
