Ugo [173]

Answer:

According to the passage, whales weight 300,000 pounds on average. Narwhales weigh 2,000 pounds on average.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the question is extremely vague, I'll just answer what's the weight of whales and the weight of narwhals.

According to the paragraph, blue whales weigh 3× $10^{5}$ pounds.

This is what we call scientific notation. You could solve it normally, or you could use a faster method.

Scientific notation states that the first number that you see, the three, is the first part of the answer. The exponent on the number of zero's that there is.

That means that the answer to 3× $10^{5}$ you get 300,000.

Let's do the same thing to Narwhales.

2× $10^{3}$ is 2,000.

brilliants [131]

Answer:

97.6% of the trees will have diameters between 7.6 and 18.6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 12 inches

Standard Deviation, σ = 2.2 inches

We are given that the distribution of diameter of tree is a mound shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

P(diameters between 7.6 and 18.6 inches)

$P(7.6 \leq x \leq 18.6) = P(\displaystyle\frac{7.6 - 12}{2.2} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{18.6-12}{2.2}) = P(-2 \leq z \leq 3)\\\\= P(z \leq 3) - P(z < -2)\\= 0.999 - 0.023 = 0.976= 97.6\%$
