Answer:

P(494.6

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-0.396

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-0.396

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that we have the following info: "The admissiones committees for most masters of business administration (MBA) programs requires the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) as part of the application for new students. It has been shown that the scores on GMAT ar enormally distributed with a mean of 542.3 and a standard deviation of 120.54"

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the scores for GAMT of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(542.3,120.54)  

Where \mu=542.3 and \sigma=120.54

We are interested on this probability

P(494.6

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(494.6

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-0.396

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-0.396

how many ounces of pure water must be added to 50 ounces of a 15% saline solution to make a saline solution that is 10% salt
anygoal [31]

50 ounces of 15% saline solution contains 0.15*50 = 7.5 ounces of salt.

Let x be the amount of pure water you add to this solution. Then you end up with (x + 50) ounces of this new solution. The amount of salt stays the same.

You want the new solution to have a concentration of 10%. This means you need

7.5 / (x + 50) = 0.1

==>  7.5 = 0.1(x + 50)

==>  7.5 = 0.1x + 5

==>  2.5 = 0.1x

==>  2.5/0.1 = 0.1x/0.1

==>  x = 25

36inch - 2 feet

72inch - 4 feet

144inch - 8 feet

18 X 2 = 36

1 + 1 = 2

18 x 4 = 72

1 x 4 = 4

18 x 8 = 144

1 x 8 = 8
