Answer:

97.5%

Explanation:

By the empirical rule (68-95-99.7),

  1. 68% of data are within <em>μ </em>- <em>σ</em> and <em>μ </em>+ <em>σ</em>
  2. 95% of data are within <em>μ </em>- 2<em>σ</em> and <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>
  3. 99.7% of data are within <em>μ </em>- 3<em>σ</em> and <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>

<em>σ </em> and <em>μ</em> are the standard deviation and the mean respectively.

From the question,

<em>μ</em> = 7.2 cm

<em>σ</em> = 0.38 cm

7.96 = 7.2 + (<em>n</em> × 0.38)

<em>n</em> = 2

Hence, 7.96 represents <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>.

P(X < <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>) = P(X < <em>μ</em>) + P(<em>μ</em> < X < <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>)

P(X < <em>μ</em>) is the percentage less than the mean = 50%.

P(<em>μ</em> < X < <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>) is half of P(<em>μ </em>- 2<em>σ</em> < X < <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>) = 95% ÷ 2 = 47.5%.

Considering this, for apples that are no more than 7.96 cm,

P(X < 7.96) = P(X < 7.2) + P(7.2 < X < 7.96) = 50% + 47.5% = 97.5%

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Oligopoly

Explanation:

An oligopoly is the structure of the market that is characterized by the domination of a few firms or industries. Other small firms also operate in the same market, but the power concentration is associated with few firms only. Interdependency among the firms helps in planning and strategy making to introduce new ideas to increase the market activities. The competition in the market is reduced when a few of the firms dominate the market. It results in an increase in the price of commodities.
