Answer:

2.28% probability that at least 28 of the next 100 shoppers who sample the crackers will buy a pack

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 20, \sigma = 4

What is the approximate probability that at least 28 of the next 100 shoppers who sample the crackers will buy a pack?

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 28. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{28 - 20}{4}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.9772

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228

2.28% probability that at least 28 of the next 100 shoppers who sample the crackers will buy a pack

Line segment ABCD is split into unequal segments by points A, B, C, and D. The length of segment AD is 28 cm, and the distance b
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint segment has length ...

... L = AB/2 + BC + CD/2 = 16 cm

The entire segment has length ...

... AD = AB + BC + CD = 28 cm

If we subtract AD from 2L, we have ...

... 2L - AD - 2L = 2(AB/2 +BC + CD/2) - (AB +BC +CD) = 2(16 cm) -28 cm = 4 cm

... AB +2BC + CD -AB -BC -CD = 4 cm . . . . remove parentheses

... BC = 4 cm . . . . simplify
