A researcher is interested in the lengths of brook trout, which are known to be approximately Normally distributed with mean 80

centimeters and standard deviation 5 centimeters. To help preserve brook trout populations, some regulatory standards need to be set for limiting the size of fish that can be caught. What is the probability of catching a brook trout less than 72 centimeters in length

Answer:

P(X

And we can find this probability with the normal standard distirbution or excel and we got:

P(z

Step-by-step explanation:

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 lenghts of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(80,5)  

Where \mu=80 and \sigma=5

We are interested on this probability

P(X

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(X

And we can find this probability with the normal standard distirbution or excel and we got:

P(z

2. If y varies inversely as x and<br> y = 3 when x = 5, find x when y = 2.5
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the law of variation,

y <> 1/x, where <> is the constant of proportionality. Therefore

y = k/x where k is a constant

3 = k/5 and k = 15

To find x when y = 2.5(5/2)

Go back to the second equation

y = k/x

5/2 = 15/x

When you cross multiply

5x = 30.

Divide through by 5,

x = 6.

What is the number 0.00000482 written in scientific notation?
Elena L [17]
Move the decimal so that there is one whole number.

0.00000482 => 4.82

We moved 6 units to the left so:

4.82 * 10^-6
