Answer:

Percentage of armadillos between 13 and 17 years = 79.052%f using Standard Normal Distribution Tables

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know from normal distribution: z(x) = (x - Mu)/SD

where x = targeted value; Mu = Mean of Normal Distribution; SD = Standard Deviation of Normal Distribution

Therefore using given data: Mu = 14, SD = 1.2 we have z(x) by using z(x) = (x - Mu)/SD as under:

Approach 1 using Standard Normal Distribution Table:

z for x=17: z(17) = (17-14)/1.2 gives us z(17) = 2.5

z for x=13: z(13) = (13-14)/1.2 gives us z(13) = -0.83

Afterwards using Normal Distribution Tables we find the probabilities as under:

P(17) using z(17) = 2.5 gives us P(17) = 99.379%

Similarly we have:

P(13) using z(13) = -0.83 gives us P(13) = 20.327%

Finally in order to find out the probability between 17 & 13 years we have:

Percentage of armadillos between 13 and 17 years = P(17) - P(13) = 99.379% - 20.327% = 79.052%

The standard normal distribution table is being attached for yours easiness.

Approach 2 using Excel or Google Sheets:

P(17) = norm.dist(17,14,1.2,1)

P(13) = norm.dist(13,14,1.2,1)

Percentage of armadillos between 13 and 17 years = { P(17) - P(13) } * 100

Find the value of using identities 996^2
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

992,016

Step-by-step explanation:

{996}^{2}  \\  =  {(1000 - 4)}^{2}  \\  =  {1000}^{2}  - 2 \times 1000 \times 4 +  {4}^{2}  \\  = 1000000 - 8000 + 16 \\  = 1000016 - 8000 \\  = 992,016 \\

4log x-1/2log y+3log z
babymother [125]
Following rules of logs, we can do the following:

log x^4 - log y^(1/2) + log z^3

Combine the first and 3rd factors to get    log [x^4*z^3]

Seeing that the neg. sign signifies division, write this new term - log y^(1/2) as a quotient:

        [x^4*z^3]
log ----------------
           y^(1/2)

Next time, please include the instructions when you present your problem.
Thx.

a home improvement store advertised 60 sq ft of flooring for $287 including an $80 installation fee write an equation to represe
Leno4ka [110]
60c+80=287

Let c stand for the cost of one square foot. with 60 square feet you get 60c. then add 80 for the installation fee.

For find f(-2) of f(x)=7x+3, plug in -2 for x.
7(-2)+3=y
-14+3=y
y=-11
To find the rate, or the slope, you divide x/y. So 2/6 is 1/3. 3 over 9 is also 1/3. So the rate is 1/3. In rates you always divide, you don't mulitply or subtract  or add to find the rate.
