Answer: a) (315,345) b) 99.7%, c) 0.14%, d) 97.36%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean = 330 grams

Standard deviation = 15 grams

(a) About 68​% of organs will be between what​ weights? ​

We will use 68-95-99.7 rule, it is empirical.

as we know that

P(\mu-\sigma\leq X\leq \mu +\sigma)\approx 0.6827

So,

\mu -\sigma=330-15=315\\\\\mu+\sigma=330+15=345

So,the 68% of the data falls within three standard deviation or will be between (315 grams and 345 grams)

(b) What percentage of organs weighs between 285 grams and 375 ​grams?

\mu+3\sigma=330+3\times 15=330+45=375\\\\\mu-3\sigma=330-3\times 15=330-45=285

so, 99.7 % of organs weighs between 285 grams and 315 grams, because the these two values are within one standard deviation of the mean.

(c) What percentage of organs weighs less than 285 grams or more than 375 ​grams? ​

Since it is 3 standard deviation below the mean and 3 standard deviations above the mean.

so, it becomes

1-0.9973=0.0027\\\\\dfrac{0.0027}{2}=0.00135\\\\So,0.00135\times 100=0.135\%=0.14\%

Since 285 grams is 3 standard deviation below the mean(=330 grams) and 375 grams is 3 standard deviation above the mean(=330 grams).

So 0.14% data is lies below the 285 grams and 0.14% data is lies above the 375 grams.

(d) What percentage of organs weighs between 300 grams and 375 ​grams?

\mu-2\sigma=330-2\times 15=330-30=300\\\\\mu+3\sigma=330+3\times 15=330+45=375

So, 300 grams is 2 standard deviation below the mean i.e. 330 grams and 375 grams is 3 standard deviation above the mean i.e. 330 grams.

so, percentage of organs weighs would be

100-2.5-0.14=97.36\%

Hence, a) (315,345) b) 99.7%, c) 0.14%, d) 97.36%.

How I can apply the distribute property to this question?
igor_vitrenko [27]

14 = 2•7 and 35 = 5•7, so the GCF of 14k and 35 is 7.

14k + 35 = 2•7k + 5•7 = 7 (2k + 5)

(Remember that the distributive property says a (b + c) = ab + ac.)

The population of a country was increased in the past 4 years. The annual presentage increases are 20%,25%,30%,10% respectively.
Vladimir79 [104]

The answer is 114.5%.

Let the original population be denoted by x.

Now, let's go through the percentage increase per year.

<u>Year 1</u>

  • x (1 + 20%)
  • x (1.2)
  • 1.2x

<u>Year 2</u>

  • 1.2x (1 + 25%)
  • 1.2x (1.25)
  • 1.5x

<u>Year 3</u>

  • 1.5x (1 + 30%)
  • 1.5x (1.3)
  • 1.95x

<u>Year 4</u>

  • 1.95x (1 + 10%)
  • 1.95x (1.1)
  • 2.145x

Overall increase : 214.5% - 100% = 114.5%

Hence, the overall percentage increase in these 4 years is 114.5%.
