<h3>Answer: A) 14</h3>
========================================================
Explanation:
Let's add point P at the location 0 on the number line.
The distance from L to P is 2 units. We can say LP = 2, ie segment LP is 2 units long.
Similarly, segment PN is 12 units long
Refer to the diagram below
The segments LP = 2 (red) and PN = 12 (blue) are then added to get the total distance from L to N. That total distance being LN = LP+PN = 2+12 = 14.
Point M is not used at all.
Answer:
(a) The probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm is 0.119.
(b) The probability that the thickness is more than 7.0 mm is 0.119.
(c) The probability that the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm is 0.762.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 5.0 millimeters (mm) and a standard deviation of 1.7 mm.
Let X = <u><em>thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village.</em></u>
So, X ~ Normal()
The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;
Z = ~ N(0,1)
where, = population mean thickness = 5.0 mm
= standard deviation = 1.7 mm
(a) The probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm is given by = P(X < 3.0 mm)
P(X < 3.0 mm) = P( <
) = P(Z < -1.18) = 1 - P(Z
1.18)
= 1 - 0.8810 = <u>0.119</u>
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.18 in the z table which has an area of 0.881.
(b) The probability that the thickness is more than 7.0 mm is given by = P(X > 7.0 mm)
P(X > 7.0 mm) = P( >
) = P(Z > 1.18) = 1 - P(Z
1.18)
= 1 - 0.8810 = <u>0.119</u>
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.18 in the z table which has an area of 0.881.
(c) The probability that the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm is given by = P(3.0 mm < X < 7.0 mm) = P(X < 7.0 mm) - P(X 3.0 mm)
P(X < 7.0 mm) = P( <
) = P(Z < 1.18) = 0.881
P(X 3.0 mm) = P(
) = P(Z
-1.18) = 1 - P(Z < 1.18)
= 1 - 0.8810 = 0.119
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.18 in the z table which has an area of 0.881.
Therefore, P(3.0 mm < X < 7.0 mm) = 0.881 - 0.119 = 0.762.
