The blood platelet counts of a group of women have a boll-shaped distribution with a mean of 261.1 and a standard deviation of 6
alexandr402 [8]

The variable is

X: blood platelet count of a woman

This variable has a bell shaped distribution (Normal)

With mean μ=261.1 and standard deviation σ=64.3

a.

The platelet count within 3 standard deviations of the mean can be calculated as

μ±3σ

You can symbolize it as

μ-3σ ≤ X ≤ μ+3σ

According to the empirical rule of the normal distribution you know that under any bell shaped distribution:

Between μ ± σ you'll find the 68% of the distribution

Between μ ± 2σ you'll find the 95% of the distribution

Between μ ± 3σ you'll find the 99% of the distribution

So following this rule you'll find 99% of the women with platelet count within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

b.

3% of the population is found between a vertain interval, the rest 97% is separated in equal tails around this interval.

Divide 0.97 by 2

0.97/2= 0.485

Each tail contains 0.485 of the distribtuion.

a and b represent the values within you'll find 3% of the population.

Until a you'll find 0.485 of the population and until b you'll find 0.485+0.03=0.515

To calculate both unknown values you have to use the standard normal distribution. This distribution is centered in zero, the left tail is negative and the right tail is positive.

a and b are at a equal distance from the mean but with different sign, so you only have to calculate on and then you invert the sign to get the other one.

I'll calculate the positive value:

Z= (X- μ )/σ~N(0,1)

P(Z≤ b)=0.515

Look in the body of the Z-table, rigth or positive entry and reach the margins for the value:

b= 0.038

Then using the values of the mean and the standard deviation you can calculate the corresponding valueof platelet count:

b= (X- μ )/σ

0.038= (X- 261.1 )/64.3

0.038*64.3=X-261.1

2.4434+261.1=X

X=263.5434=263.5

a=-b=-0.038

a= (X- μ )/σ

-0.038= (X- 261.1 )/64.3

-0.038*64.3=X-261.1

-2.4434+261.1=X

X=258.6566= 258.7

3% of the populations platelet count is between 258.7 and 263.5.

Best estimate for 61/7
Ne4ueva [31]

I would say the best estimate would be 9 because the real answer is 8.71 and if you round that to the 1 place the answer would be 9.

AB≅BC≅CD≅DE, AD = 8x - 4, AB = x + 2 solve for AB
Levart [38]

Just solve for , then substitute back into either expression and calculate either BC or AD. The other one is then the same amount.


The one about the square is the same thing except you don't care how the figure is named because all 4 sides are equal anyway. Just set the two expressions equal to one another and then solve for
