7 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines around the -12 and 8 is what we call absolute value. This means that whatever is in it, it will be positive. Knowing this the equation would be 12-8. This would give you 4.

5 0

This essentially means 12-8
|| means absolute value which is the distance from 0 the number is
Basically it’s the number but positive

So the answer is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 0.499, \sigma = 0.002$
