Answer:

Lower limit: 113.28

Upper limit: 126.72

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 = 120, \sigma = 8

Middle 60%

So it goes from X when Z has a pvalue of 0.5 - 0.6/2 = 0.2 to X when Z has a pvalue of 0.5 + 0.6/2 = 0.8

Lower limit

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.20. So X when Z = -0.84

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

-0.84 = \frac{X - 120}{8}

X - 120 = -0.84*8

X = 113.28

Upper limit

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.80. So X when Z = 0.84

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

0.84 = \frac{X - 120}{8}

X - 120 = 0.84*8

X = 126.72

Is 5:2 the same as 2:5
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

It is not the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Is 5/2 greater than 2/5? Is 5/2 bigger than 2/5? Is 5/2 larger than 2/5? These are all the same questions with one answer.

When comparing fractions such as 5/2 and 2/5, you could also convert the fractions (if necessary) so they have the same denominator and then compare which numerator is larger.        

  To get the answer, we first convert each fraction into decimal numbers. We do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction as illustrated below: 5/2 = 2.5

2/5 = 0.4 Therefore, 5/2 is greater than 2/5 and the answer to the question "Is 5/2 greater than 2/5?" is yes.

If VZ=p–7 and WY=p–21, what is the value of p?
sveta [45]

Using the midline property;

2wy = vz

2(p - 21) = p - 7

2p - 42 = p - 7

2p - p =  - 7 + 42

p = 35

An elevator starts at the basement with 8 people (not including the elevator operator) and discharges them all by the time it re
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

1287

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of people in elevator , n = 8

Number of floors, r = 6

Since they all look alike, arrangement doesn't matter, the we use combination :

(n+r-1 r - 1) = (8+6-1 C 6-1) = 13C5

Recall:

nCr = n! / (n-r)!r!

13C5 = 13! / (13-5)!5!

13C5 = 13*12*11*10*9 / 5*4*3*2*1

= 1287
