Answer:

P(-3

And then the probability that  will be farther away from the mean than + 3 standard deviations is just

1-0.9973= 0.0027

And the number of cases would be 1000*0.0027=2.7 or approximatley 3 cases. And the bes option is : a.About 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 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".  

2) Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(\mu,\sigma)  

We are interested on this probability

P(X-3\mu

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

And we can find this probability on this way:

P(-3

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

P(-3

And then the probability that  will be farther away from the mean than + 3 standard deviations is just

1-0.9973= 0.0027

And the number of cases would be 1000*0.0027=2.7 or approximatley 3 cases. And the bes option is : a.About 3

In the answer space below, provide the larger of the two positive integers that add up to 60 and have the largest possible produ
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The two positive integers are 30 and 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the larger  positive integer

y-----> the smaller positive integer

P----> the product o the two positive integers

we know that

x+y=60

y=60-x -----> equation A

P=xy ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

P=x(60-x)

P=60x-x^{2}

This is the equation of a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

The y-coordinate of the vertex is the largest possible product

Using a graphing tool

The vertex is the point (30,900)

That means------> For x=30 The largest possible product is 900

and

y=60-x ------> y=60-30=30

therefore

The two positive integers are 30 and 30

72 The length of a side of a triangle is 36. A line parallel to that side divides the triangle into two parts of equal area. Fin
katrin [286]

Answer:

  18√2

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller triangle sharing a vertex with the larger one is similar and half the area. That means its linear dimensions are √(1/2) = (√2)/2 times those of the larger triangle.

The line segment of interest has length ...

  36 × (√2)/2 = 18√2

_____

The ratio of area of similar figures is the square of the ratio of their linear dimensions. Thus the ratio of linear dimensions is the square root of the ratio of area.
