A number that has a decimal that does not repeat or end in an irrational number. The decimal goes on forever, without a pattern. Think of it as it is irrational to keep going on and on and on. Irrational numbers also cannot be put into fractions.
-5 is an integer, it is a whole (positive or negative without a decimal/fraction) number. An integer can be any whole number as long as it is a whole number and does not have a decimal.

Porphyrin is a pigment in blood protoplasm and other body fluids that is significant in body energy and storage. Let x be a rand

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Question 1:

(a) P(x<60) = 0.9236

(b) P(x>16) = 0.9564

(c) P(16<x<60) = 0.88

(d) P (x>60) = 0.0764

Question 2:

(a) P(x<3) = 0.0668

(b) P(x>7) = 0.0062

(c) P(3<x<7) = 0.927

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

x = no. of mg of porphyrin per deciliter of blood.

μ = 40

σ = 14

(a) We need to compute P(x<60). We need to find the z-score using the normal distribution formula:

z = (x - μ)/σ

P(x<60) = P((x - μ)/σ < (60 - 40)/14)

= P(z < 20/14)

= P(z<1.43)

Using the normal distribution probability table we can find the value of p at z=1.43.

P(z<1.43) = 0.9236

so, P(x<60) = 0.9236

(b) P(x>16) = P(z>(16-40)/14)

= P(z>-1.71)

= 1 - P(z<-1.71)

= 1 - 0.0436

P(x>16) = 0.9564

(c) P(16<x<60) = P((16-40)/14) < x < (60-40)/14)

= P(-1.71 < z < 1.43)

This probability can be calculated as: P(z<1.43) - P(z<-1.71)

P(16<x<60) = 0.9236 - 0.0436

P(16<x<60) = 0.88

(d) P(x>60) = 1 - P(x<60)

we have calculated P(x<60) in part (a) so,

P(x>60) = 1 - 0.9236

P (x>60) = 0.0764

Question 2:

μ = 4.5 mm

σ = 1.0 mm

In this question, we will again compute the z-scores and then find the probability from the normal distribution table.

(a) P(x<3) = P(z<(3-4.5)/1)

= P(z<-1.5)

P(x<3) = 0.0668

(b) P(x>7) = 1 - P(x<7)

= 1 - P(z<(7-4.5)/1)

= 1 - P(z<2.5)

= 1 - 0.9938

P(x>7) = 0.0062

(c) P(3<x<7) = P(x<7) - P(x<3)

we have computed both of these probabilities in parts (a) and (b) so,

P(3<x<7) = 0.9938 - 0.0668

P(3<x<7) = 0.927
