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

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

9 percent of 578 is 52.02.

Step-by-step explanation:

578/x=100/9

(578/x)*x=(100/9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

578=11.111111111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.111111111111) to get x

578/11.111111111111=x  

52.02=x  

x=52.02
