To solve this problem, we make use of the z statistic. What we have to do here is to find for the z score using the given data and from the standard probability tables for z, we locate the proportion of the fish longer than 12 inches.

 

The formula for calculating the z score is:

z = (x – μ) / σ

where,

x = the sample value = 12 inches

μ = the sample mean = 11 inches

σ = 2 inches

 

so,

z = (12 – 11) / 2

z = 1 / 2

z = 0.5

 

Since we are looking for the values greater than 12, so this is a right tailed test. Using the tables, the value of p at this value of z is:

p (z = 0.5) = 0.3085

 

Therefore there is a 30.85% probability that the fish is longer than 12 inches.

Find size of angle x<br><br>pls.. <br><br><br>​
mina [271]

Answer:

x = 115

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of angles around a point = 360

i.e,

=> 164 + 81 + x = 360

=> 245 + x = 360

=> x = 360 - 245

=> x = 115
