Answer:

a) P(47

And then the probability that Fred will not score between 47 and 77 is

1-0.968 = 0.0321

b) P(45

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".  

Part a

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

X \sim N(62,7)  

Where \mu=62 and \sigma=7

We are interested on this probability  on the probability that Fred will not score between 47 and 77. So we can begin finding this probability

P(47

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}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(47

And we can find this probability on this way:

P(-2.143

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

P(-2.143

And then the probability that Fred will not score between 47 and 77 is

1-0.968 = 0.0321

Part b

P(45

And we can find this probability on this way:

P(-2.429

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

P(-2.429

1. If a bicycle wheel has a diameter of 15 in. How far will the wheel rotate in 10 rotations?​
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

150 pi inches or 471.239 inches traveled

Step-by-step explanation:

First, close your eyes, and think about the distance a bike travels after one rotation of the wheel.

You will come to the realization that a full rotation of the wheel makes you travel the circumference of the wheel

The formula for circumference is 2(pi)(r) or (pi)(diameter)

We are given diameter, so let's find distance traveled for one rotation

pi(15 inches) = 15pi inches per rotation.

There are 10 rotations, so:

(15pi inches/rotation)(10 rotations) = 150pi inches travelled

150 x pi = 471.239 inches traveled

To estimate the height of a totem pole, Jorge uses a small square of plastic. He holds the square up to his eyes and walks backw
Ghella [55]

The height of the pole is 6.50 meters

<h3>How to calculate the height?</h3>

To calculate the height of the pole, we will use of the following equivalent ratios.

By Pythagoras theorem, we have:

x ^2 = 2^2 + 3^2\\\\x ^2 = 4 + 9\\\\x = \sqrt{13}

So, we have:

h = \dfrac{\sqrt{13}^2 }{2} \\\\h = \dfrac{13}{2}\\\\h = 6.5

Hence, the height of the pole is 6.50 meters

Find the volume of a cylinder if it is 2 feet tall and has a diameter of 1.5. Use 3.14 for pi.
olga55 [171]

Answer:

3.5325

Step-by-step explanation:

V = 3.14*(.75^2)(2)

You divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius which is 1.5/2 =.75

r=.75

h=2

and you use the equation for volume of cylinder which is V = pi x radius squared x height
