\frac{ 24.2}{550} \cdot100\%= \frac{24.2\cdot100}{550} \%= \frac{242}{55} \%= \frac{22}{5} \%=4.4\%

Sal and her three friends plan to bowl one or two games each. Each game costs $2.50 each. Identify the independent and dependent
tino4ka555 [31]
So the dependent is the number of games because it's not definite they dont know for sure. so the domain always involves money!!! always! the range wiyld be the numbers they migh play like 8-10 so 4 to 8 is the range value. so determining off of that the indepedent variable would be the total cost becuase it wont change so your answer is C hope this helped have a good day!!!

The port of South Louisiana, located along 54 miles of the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, is the largest
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

a) 0.7287

b) 0.9663

c) 0.237

d) 3.65 tons of cargo per week or more that will require the port to extend its operating hours.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ =  4.5 million tons of cargo per week

Standard Deviation, σ = 0 .82 million tons

We are given that the distribution of number of tons of cargo handled per week is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) P( port handles less than 5 million tons of cargo per week)

P(x < 5)

P( x < 5) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{5 - 4.5}{0.82}) = P(z < 0.609)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x < 5) =0.7287= 72.87\%

b) P( port handles 3 or more million tons of cargo per week)

P(x \geq 3) = P(z \geq \displaystyle\frac{3-4.5}{0.82}) = P(z \geq −1.82926)\\\\P( z \geq −1.82926) = 1 - P(z < -1.829)

Calculating the value from the standard normal table we have,

1 - 0.0337 = 0.9663 = 96.63\%\\P( x \geq 3) = 96.63\%

c)P( port handles between 3 million and 4 million tons of cargo per week)

P(3 \leq x \leq 4) = P(\displaystyle\frac{3 - 4.5}{0.82} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{4-4.5}{0.82}) = P(-1.829 \leq z \leq -0.609)\\\\= P(z \leq -0.609) - P(z < -1.829)\\= 0.271-0.034 = 0.237= 23.7\%

P(3 \leq x \leq 4) = 23.7\%

d) P(X=x) = 0.85

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.85.

P(X > x)  

P( X > x) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{x - 4.5}{0.82})=0.85  

= 1 -P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 4.5}{0.82})=0.85  

=P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 4.5}{0.82})=0.15  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P( z \leq -1.036) = 0.15

\displaystyle\frac{x - 4.5}{0.82} = -1.036\\x = 3.65

Thus, 3.65 tons of cargo per week or more that will require the port to extend its operating hours.
