The probability will be the area under the normal distribution N(27,3^2) from 24 to 32.

We normalize these so we can use the standard normal distribution

z_1 = \dfrac{24 - 27}{3} = -1

z_2 = \dfrac{32-27}{3}=\dfrac 5 3

Typically we'd just use a computer to tell us the integral of the standard normal from -1 to 5/3.  In the old days we'd use the z table.  It tells us the normal integral from 0 to positive z.

We know the integral of the Gaussian from -1 to 1 standard deviation is 68%; from the z table we see the probability from 0 to 1 is half that, <span>0.34134.  That will also be the integral from -1 to 0. 

The z table says the integral from 0 to 5/3, 1.67, is </span><span>0.45254.

So our total probability, integral from -1 to 5/3, is

 </span>p =0.34134+0.45254=0.79388

That's really from z=-1 to z=+1.67 so likely a bit off in the last couple digits.

Select all ratios equivalent to 3:2.
weeeeeb [17]
So the Correct answer would be all three of them.
This includes 27:18, 12:8, and 21:14.
The math behind this includes proportions.
For instance, if you multiple 3 by 9, you get 37. You have to multiple 2 by 9 now, and you should get 18. This is how all three of the answers are correct!

How many quarts are in 40 gallons
Dafna11 [192]
To find out how many quarts there are in 40 gallons, we simply need to know how many quarts there are in one gallon. As the name implies, there are 4 quarts in one gallon, so we simply need to multiply 4 * 40 to find the amount of quarts in 40 gallons.

4 * 40 = 160

There are 160 quarts in 40 gallons.
Hope that helped! =)
