Answer:
The required equation is
4p = 2.24
And p = 0.56 [ where p is in $]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Selena buys 4 peaches that weight 1 pound in all.
Peaches are on sale for $2.24 per pound.
Since the total weight of peaches is 1 pound.
So the price of 4 peaches is $2.24.
Let p be the price of 1 peaches.
Then the price of 4 peaches is $(4×p)
= $4p
According to the problem,
4p = 2.24
⇒p=0.56 [ where p is in $]
The required equation is
4p = 2.24
And p = 0.56 [ where p is in $]
suppose the people have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 177 lb and a standard deviation of 26 lb.
Find the probability that if a person is randomly selected, his weight will be greater than 174 pounds?
Assume that weights of people are normally distributed with a mean of 177 lb and a standard deviation of 26 lb.
Mean = 177
standard deviation = 26
We find z-score using given mean and standard deviation
z =
=
=-0.11538
Probability (z>-0.11538) = 1 - 0.4562 (use normal distribution table)
= 0.5438
P(weight will be greater than 174 lb) = 0.5438
