Answer:

2.275%

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do here is to calculate the z-score

Mathematically;

z-score = (x-mean)/SD

from the question, x = 12,300 hours , mean = 11,500 hours while Standard deviation(SD) = 400 hours

Plugging the values we have;

z-score = (12,300-11,500)/400 = 800/400 = 2

Now, we want to calculate P(z ≤ 2)

This is so because we are calculating within a particular value

To calculate this, we use the z-score table.

Mathematically;

P(z ≤ 2) = 1 - P(z > 2) = 1 - 0.97725 = 0.02275

To percentage = 2.275%

In a survey, four out of five people surveyed preferred creamy over chunky peanut butter. 120 people are shopping at the grocery
elixir [45]

Answer: Around 96 people would prefer creamy peanut butter.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the survey was found that 4 out of 5 preferred creamy over chunky peanut butter.

Then the relative frequency is:

4/5 = 0.8 prefer creamy peanut butter.

And we can assume that:

1/5 = 0.2 prefer chunky peanut butter.

We also could multiply these numbers by 100% to obtain the percentage forms:

0.8*100% = 80%

0.2*100% = 20%

Now, if there are 120 people in the grocery store, we can expect that the 80% will prefer creamy peanut butter.

Then we can expect that the number of people that prefers creamy peanut butter is:

N = (80%/100%)*120 = 0.8*120 = 96

Around 96 people would prefer creamy peanut butter.
