Thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally

distributed, with a mean of 4.5 millimeters (mm) and a standard deviation of 1.5 mm. For a randomly found shard, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
(a) the thickness is less than 3.0 mm


(b) the thickness is more than 7.0 mm


(c) the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm

Answer:

a) 0.1587 (or 15.87%)

b) 0.0478 (or 4.78%)

c) 0.7935 (or 79.35%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the following probabilities:

(a) the thickness is less than 3.0 mm

We need to find the area under the Normal curve with a mean of 4.5 mm and a standard deviation of 1.5 mm to the left of 3 mm

<h3>(See picture 1 attached) </h3>

We can do that with the help of a calculator or a spreadsheet.

<em>In Excel use </em>

<em>NORMDIST(3,4.5,1.5,1) </em>

<em>In OpenOffice Calc use  </em>

<em>NORMDIST(3;4.5;1.5;1) </em>

and we get the value 0.1587 (or 15.87%)

(b) the thickness is more than 7.0 mm

Now we need the area to the right of 7 (1 - the area to the left of 7)

<h3>(See picture 2 attached) </h3>

<em>In Excel use </em>

<em>1-NORMDIST(7,4.5,1.5,1)  </em>

<em>In OpenOffice Calc use  </em>

<em>1-NORMDIST(7;4.5;1.5;1) </em>

and we get the value 0.0478 (or 4.78%)

(c) the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm

We are looking for the area between 3 and 7

<h3>(See Picture 3) </h3>

Since the area under the Normal equals 1, we have

Area to the left of 3 + Area between 3 and 7 + Area to the right of 7 = 1

Hence,  

0.1587 +  Area between 3 and 7 + 0.0478 = 1

and

Area between 3 and 7 = 1 - 0.1587 - 0.0478 = 0.7935 (or 79.35%)

Sections of prefabricated fencing are each 4 1/3 feet long. how long are 6 1/2 sections placed end to end
zalisa [80]

we know that

4\frac{1}{3}= \frac{(4*3+1)}{3} =\frac{13}{3}

6\frac{1}{2}= \frac{(6*2+1)}{2}=\frac{13}{2}

To find how long are 6\frac{1}{2}  sections placed end to end

Multiply the number of sections by the length of one section

so

\frac{13}{2} *\frac{13}{3} =\frac{169}{6}\ ft

\frac{169}{6}\ ft =28\frac{1}{6}\ ft

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

28\frac{1}{6} \ ft

Which of the following (-1,8) and (5,-2) are the distance of the line segment
olganol [36]

The formula of a distance between two points:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

We have the points (-1, 8) and (5, -2). Substitute:

d=\sqrt{(5-(-1))^2+(-2-8)^2}=\sqrt{6^2+(-10)^2}=\sqrt{36+100}=\sqrt{136}\\\\=\sqrt{4\cdot34}=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{34}=\boxed{2\sqrt{34}}
