Approximately 95% of bags contain between 65 and 85 potato chips.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

step 1 :

Given,

The mean, M = 75

Standard deviation, SD = 5

step 2 :

From Normal distribution,

The left side of mean is 32% = M-SD, 16% = M-2SD and 2% = M-3SD

The right side of mean is 32% = M+SD, 16% = M+2SD and 2% = M+3SD

step 3 :

Calculate for left side: M-SD = 75-5 = 70 and M-2SD = 75-10 = 65

Calculate for right side: M+SD = 75+5 = 80 and M+2SD = 75+10 = 85

step 4 :

Calculate the percentage between 65 and 85:

(M-SD) + (M-2SD) + (M+SD) + (M+2SD) = 32% + 16% + 32% + 16%

                                                               = 96 % (which is approximately 95 %)

How many significant figures are in the measured value 550,000,000?
NikAS [45]

There are 2 significant figures (sig figs) which are the two '5' digits. The zeros aren't considered sig figs because we can write the number as 5.5 * 10^8 to represent the exact same idea. The 0's are simply placeholders to tell how big the number is, not necessarily how accurate it is. If the 0s were between the decimal point and a nonzero value, then the 0s would be significant. If the 0s were to the right of the decimal, then they would be significant.
