Answer:
e. 
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
The density of intergalactic space material is
kg per cubic meter.
And the volume of intergalactic space material is 
So the mass of that much intergalactic space material is,
, where 'm' is the mass, and 'v' is the volume.
Putting the values we get,


It is also given that the mass of lead is the same as the mass of the intergalactic space material. Therefore, the mass of lead is 
So the volume of lead is,


So the volume of lead is
.
Part a)
It was given that 3% of patients gained weight as a side effect.
This means


The mean is


The standard deviation is



We want to find the probability that exactly 24 patients will gain weight as side effect.
P(X=24)
We apply the Continuity Correction Factor(CCF)
P(24-0.5<X<24+0.5)=P(23.5<X<24.5)
We convert to z-scores.

Part b) We want to find the probability that 24 or fewer patients will gain weight as a side effect.
P(X≤24)
We apply the continuity correction factor to get;
P(X<24+0.5)=P(X<24.5)
We convert to z-scores to get:

Part c)
We want to find the probability that
11 or more patients will gain weight as a side effect.
P(X≥11)
Apply correction factor to get:
P(X>11-0.5)=P(X>10.5)
We convert to z-scores:


Part d)
We want to find the probability that:
between 24 and 28, inclusive, will gain weight as a side effect.
P(24≤X≤28)=
P(23.5≤X≤28.5)
Convert to z-scores:

Is this all the information provided or are you missing something?
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
As you might know, the two lines surrounding the -4 represent the absolute value, which is basically the distance from 0, and the distance is always positive. To clear any confusion, the absolute value of positive number will not be it's opposite because remember, distance is always positive, so absolute value is always positive (because it is basically the distance from zero).
To help, here is an example (that is not related to the problem!):
|-6| = 6
|6| = 6
<em>Now, back to the problem...</em>
Since you now know that the absolute value is always positive, |-4| would equal 4. So now you have:
4 - 8 + 10 = ???
From here, you can just solve and the answer is 6, so:
4 - 8 + 10 = 6
You final answer is 6.
Hope this helped somehow :D
