9. Gold miners in Alaska have found, on average, 12 ounces of gold per 1000 tons of dirt excavated with a standard deviation of

3 ounces. Assume the amount of gold found per 1000 tons of dirt is normally distributed. What is the probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated?

Answer:

9.18% probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value 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. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 12, \sigma = 3

What is the probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 16. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{16 - 12}{3}

Z = 1.33

Z = 1.33 has a pvalue of 0.9082

1 - 0.9082 = 0.0918

9.18% probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated

Note that the right triangles with sides equal to 5, 12, 13 and 9, 12, 13 both have a side equal to 12. using this fact find the
kondor19780726 [428]
There is a mistake 9,12,13 is not a right triangle. but 9,12,15 is. IF you use this triangle instead, then the area of the 13,14,15 triangle is the sum of the area of the other two triangles.
