Answer:
9.18% probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score 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. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this problem, we have that:

What is the probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated?
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 16. So



has a pvalue of 0.9082
1 - 0.9082 = 0.0918
9.18% probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated

Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
-9 (x+2) = 54
-9x - 18 = 54
-9x = 72
x = -8

Costs would be nine dollars for the lemons and four dollars for the sugar ($-13.00). You end up losing only fifty cents throughout, so you would have had to sell (.5×25=12.50) 25 cups to pay for all but fifty cents.
Answer is 25 cups
