Answer:

The mean of this distribution is approximately 3.96.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's how to solve this problem using a normal distribution table.

Let z be the

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

In this question, x = 5 and \sigma = 2. The equation becomes

\displaystyle z = \frac{5 - \mu}{2}.

To solve for \mu, the mean of this distribution, the only thing that needs to be found is the value of z. Since

The problem stated that P(X \le 5) = 69.85\% = 0.6985. Hence, P(Z \le z) = 0.6985.

The problem is that the normal distribution tables list only the value of P(0 \le Z \le z) for z \ge 0. To estimate  z from P(Z \le z) = 0.6985, it would be necessary to find the appropriate

Since P(Z \le z) = 0.6985 and is greater than P(Z \le 0) = 0.50, z > 0. As a result, P(Z \le z) can be written as the sum of P(Z < 0) and P(0 \le Z \le z). Besides, P(Z < 0) = P(Z \le 0) = 0.50. As a result:

\begin{aligned}&P(Z \le z)\\ &= P(Z < 0) + P(0 \le Z \le z) \\ &= 0.50 + P(0 \le Z \le z)\end{aligned}.

Therefore:

\begin{aligned}&P(0 \le Z \le z) \\ &= P(Z \le z) - 0.50 \\&= 0.6985 - 0.50 \\&=0.1985 \end{aligned}.

Lookup 0.1985 on a normal distribution table. The corresponding z-score is 0.52. (In other words, P(0 \le Z \le 0.52) = 0.1985.)

Given that

  • z = 0.52,
  • x =5, and
  • \sigma = 2,

Solve the equation \displaystyle z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} for the mean, \mu:

\displaystyle 0.52 = \frac{5 - \mu}{2}.

\mu = 5 - 2 \times 0.52 = 3.96.

Lim wrote several pairs of values that he thought were equivalent. Which of his equations is correct?
Annette [7]

Answer:

I believe the correct answer would be A: 3/5 = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, the second option is wrong because 0.06 would be 6 hundredths, so that is wrong, the third option would be incorrect because 0.002 would equal 2 thousandths so that is also wrong, and the fourth option would be 25% instead of 75%, so your answer should be A.

For every 1 litre of water used to make a medicine, 269ml of sucrose and 47ml of saline solution are used. Express the amount of
leonid [27]

Answer:

1000 : 269 : 47

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio is a way of comparing the value or amount of one quantity to another.

We are to find the ration of water to sucrose to saline solution, hence, it must remain in that order.

Water : Sucrose : Saline solution

The amount of water is 1 litre (1 * 1000 ml = 1000 ml)

The amount of sucrose is 269 ml

The amount of saline solution is 47 ml

Therefore, the ratio of water to sucrose to saline solution is:

W : S : SS = 1000 : 269 : 47

Since 1000, 269 and 47 have no common factors, that is the simplest form of the ratio.
