Answer:

99.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the z score formula

z-score is z = (x-μ)/σ

where:

x = raw score

μ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation.

a) for x = raw score = 35

μ = population mean = 44

σ = population standard deviation =3

z = (35 - 44)/3

z = -9/3

z = -3

b) for x = raw score = 53

μ = population mean = 44

σ = population standard deviation =3

z = (53 - 44)/3

z = 9/3

z = 3

We would use the standard normal distribution table to find their probabilities

P(Z<=-3)=0.0013499

P(Z<=+3)=0.99865

So P(-3<=Z<=3)=0.99865 - 0.0013499 = 0.9973

Converting to percentage = 0.9973 × 100 = 99.73%

Therefore, the percentage of auto batteries of this brand that have a life of 35 to 53 months to one decimal place is 99.7%

Alice and Bob have two positive integers, x and y respectively, glued to their foreheads, so that each can read the other’s numb
vazorg [7]

Step-by-step explanation: |x − y| = 1, ok lets play as Alice, my number is y, and the bob number is x.

the condition says that x-y = 1 or x-y = -1.

so, if you know x, then y = 1 +y or y = y - 1. so you have two possibilities.

let's see two cases : first, let's suppose there are no code in the conversation. Then the only way of being shure of your number, is if one of them have the lowest positive number, so the other should have the next one. So if Bob have the number one, Alice knows for shure that she has the  2. Bob knows that she has a 2, but that means he could have a 1 or a 3, but when he sees that Alice is shure about her number, he knows that his number is the 1.

the second case is where the conversation may be a sort of code, saying a phrase x times and changing when x = the number of the other person, in this case, bob will have the 201 and alice the 202.
