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%)

a water balloon is tossed into the air with an upward velocity of 25 ft/s its height h(t) in ft after t seconds is given by the
Montano1993 [528]
When the height is 0 that is when it hits the ground
solve
0=-16t²+25x+3
cant factor so use quadratic formula

for
0=ax²+bx+c
x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

so for
0=-16t²+25t+3
a=-16
b=25
c=3
so

x=\frac{-25+/-\sqrt{25^2-4(-16)(3)}}{2(-16)}
x=\frac{-25+/-\frac{625+192}}{-32}
x=\frac{-25+/-\frac{817}}{-32}
it has to be a positive time

so it will hit the ground after \frac{25+\sqrt{817}}{32} seconds

The lifetimes of 10,000 watch batteries are normally distributed the mean lifetime is 500 days the standard deviation is 60 days
Lelu [443]
Given:
μ = 500 days, the population mean
σ = 60 days, the population standard deviation

Therefore
μ + σ = 560
μ - σ = 440
μ + 2σ = 620
μ - 2σ = 380
μ + 3σ = 680
μ - 3σ = 320

The figure shown below illustrates the normal distribution
About 68% of the total area lies in x = (μ-σ, μ+σ)
About 95% of the total area lies in x = (μ-2σ, μ+2σ)
About 99.7% of the total area lies in x = (μ-3σ, μ+3σ).

Can anyone help me with this question?
Andreyy89

Answer:

x= 60°, y = 80°, z = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the line substending 40° and Z°; you would see that both lines are parallel and so their angles are they the same.

Hence z= 40° { corresponding angles of parallel lines}

Similarly;

Look at the line substending 60° and x°; you would see that both lines are parallel and so their angles are they the same.

60° = x° { corresponding angles of parallel lines}

Now looking at the angle between x and y; let's call the angle between them r

And you would observe closely that r = z° = 40°{ vertically opposite angles are equal}

Note that x + r + y = 180°{ angle on a straight line}

y = 180° - ( x + r)

y = 180 - (60+40)

y = 180° - 100°

= 80°
