Answer:

63% of the values lies between 70 and 85.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a normally distributed set of numbers has a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 7.97.

<em>Let X = Set of numbers</em>

The z-score probability distribution for is given by;

                Z = \frac{  X -\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean value = 75

            \sigma = standard deviation = 7.97

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

So, percentage of values that lies between 70 and 85 is given by = P(70 < X < 85) = P(X < 85) - P(X \leq 70)

   P(X < 85) = P( \frac{  X -\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{  85-75}{7.97} ) = P(Z < 1.25) = 0.89435  {using z table}

   P(X \leq 70) = P( \frac{  X -\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{  70-75}{7.97} ) = P(Z \leq -0.63) = 1 - P(Z < 0.63)

                                                 = 1 - 0.73565 = 0.26435

<em>Now, in the z table the P(Z </em>\leq<em> x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.25 and x = 0.63 in the z table which has an area of 0.89435 and 0.73565 respectively.</em>

Therefore, P(70 < X < 85) = 0.89435 - 0.26435 = 0.63 or 63%

<em>Hence, 63% of the values lies between 70 and 85.</em>

a medication prescription states 1/4 tablet twice a day per 20kg the peson weight is 211 pounds. how many tablets should be take
Black_prince [1.1K]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: 1.187 tablets each time (twice a day)

<h2>Why?</h2>

From the statement we know that 0.25 tablet (1/4) should be taken twice a day per 20 kg, it makes 0.5 table a day, per 20 kg.

First, we need to convert the given weight unit (pounds) to kg:

1 Pound=0.45Kg

So,

211Pounds*\frac{0.45Kg}{1Pound}= 94.95Kg=95Kg

A weight of 95 Kg, means 4.75 times more than the given information of 0.5 table a day, per 20 Kg

\frac{95Kg}{20Kg}=4.75

Then,

4.75*(0.5)=2.375

So,

For a weight of 95 Kg,  2.375  tablets should be taken a day, or 1.187  tablets each time.

Have a nice day!

the fourth term of an arithmetic sequence is 141, and the seventh term is 132. what is the first term?
Cerrena [4.2K]
The 1st, 4th, and 7th terms make an arithmetic sequence of their own. The 4th term is the average of the 1st and 7th, so ...
   (1st +7th)/2 = 4th
   1st + 7th = 2×4th
   1st = 2×4th - 7th

The first term is ...
   2*141 - 132 = 150
