Answer:

x = 1,500

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

3% ⋅ x = 45

or 3/100 ⋅ x = 45

Multiply both sides by 100 and divide both sides by 3

x = 45 ⋅ 100/3

So:

x = 1,500

I hope this helps!

(Btw, if you're using a calculator you can just inter 45 ⋅ 100 ÷ 3, and that will give you the answer.)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3% of what number is 45......percent of base = amount

the percent is the number with the percent sign......so its 3%

the base is the number we are taking the percent of...so the base is unknown

the amount is the number that relates to the percent, it is a portion of the whole number...and it is 45

Answer: $P(28.5$ And we can find this probability with this difference:

$P(-0.7$

And in order to find these probabilities we use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.

$P(-0.7$

So then the best answer would be 21.82 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the time it takes to trim a tree of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(32,5)$
