The weights of cars passing over a bridge have a mean of 3,550 pounds and standard deviation of 870 pounds. Assume that the weig

hts of the cars passing over the bridge are normally distributed. Use a calculator to find the probability that the weight of a randomly-selected car passing over the bridge is less than 3,000 pounds.

Answer:

0.24315

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the z score formula to solve this question

z = (x - μ) / σ,

Such that:

x = raw score

μ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation.

From the question:

x = 3000

μ = 3550

σ = 870

z = (3000 - 3550) / 870

z = -550/870

z = -0.6962

Using the z score table as well as probability calculator(as requested in the question to find the z score)

The probability of having less than 3000 is obtained as:

P(x<3000) = 0.24315

Olivia is making 15 bead bracelets for her friends what is the proportional relationship?
yanalaym [24]

5 minutes per bracelet.

because 15/3 = 5 mins.

To find the constant of proportionality in minutes per bracelet, divide the total time by the number of bracelets:

constant of proportionality =15/3= 5 minutes.

Now, we're going to consider an example of a proportional relationship in our everyday life: When we put gas in our car, there is a relationship between the number of gallons of fuel that we put in the tank and the amount of money we will have to pay. In other words, the more gas we put in, the more money we'll pay.
