\mathbb P(X>250)=\mathbb P\left(\dfrac{X-190}{30}>\dfrac{250-190}{30}\right)=\mathbb P(Z>2)\approx0.0228

Or, if you're familiar with the empirical rule and the basic properties of the normal distribution, you can use the fact that approximately 95/% of the distribution lies within two standard deviations of the mean, or

\mathbb P(|Z|

which means about 5\% of the distribution lies outside this interval, or

\mathbb P((-22))\approx0.05

Because the distribution is symmetric, you have

\mathbb P(-22)
\implies \mathbb P((-22))=\mathbb P(-22)=2\mathbb P(Z>2)\approx0.05
\implies \mathbb P(Z>2)\approx 0.025

Answer:

There is a 2.28% chance that more than 250 books were borrowed in a week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of books borrowed from a library each week follows a normal distribution. When a sample is taken for several weeks, the mean is found to be 190 and the standard deviation is 30.

To find : There is a ___% chance that more than 250 books were borrowed in a week ?

Solution :

Formula to find z-score is

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Where, \mu=190 is the mean

\sigma=30 is the standard deviation

x=250 is the value

Substitute the value in the formula,

z=\frac{250-190}{30}

z=\frac{60}{30}

z=2

According to the normal distribution table,  P(z<2) = 0.9772

Now, The probability that more than 250 books were borrowed in a week will be

P(x>250)=P(z>2)= 1-P(z

Therefore, There is a 2.28% chance that more than 250 books were borrowed in a week.

What is the surface area of the Triangular Prism rounded to the nearest tenth?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

C. 43.6

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to take the area of each shape

lets do the skinny triangles first on the top and bottom of this shape.

so to find the formula of triangle we need to do 0.5 * 1.26 * 5.3

because the formula of a triangle is half the base times height.

so we get 0.5 * 1.26 * 5.3 = 3.339

multiply it by two and we get 6.678

now lets find the area of the huge rectangle on the back/behind of the shape

3.3*5.3 = 17.49

now lets find the area of the two smaller rectangles

3.3 * 3.6 = 11.88

2.3 * 3.3 = 7.59

now lets add

6.678 + 17.49 + 11.88 + 7.59 = 43.638

round it to 43.6
