Answer:

The probability that x will take on a value between 120 and 125 is 0.14145

Step-by-step explanation:

For uniform distribution between a & b

Mean, xbar = (a + b)/2

Standard deviation, σ = √((b-a)²/12)

For 110 and 150,

Mean, xbar = (150 + 110)/2 = 130

Standard deviation, σ = √((150-110)²/12 = 11.55

To find the probability that x will take on a value between 120 and 125

We need to standardize 120 & 125

z = (x - xbar)/σ = (120 - 130)/11.55 = - 0.87

z = (x - xbar)/σ = (125 - 130)/11.55 = - 0.43

P(120 < x < 125) = P(-0.87 < x < -0.43)

We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities

P(120 < x < 125) = P(-0.87 < x < -0.43) = P(z ≤ -0.43) - P(z ≤ -0.86) = 0.33360 - 0.19215 = 0.14145

Hope this Helps!!!

Find the difference using fraction bars or a paper and pencil. Write your answer in simplest form.
nasty-shy [4]
First, find the lowest common denominator. That is 12. You only have to change 3/4 into 12ths.

3/4 = 9/12

11/12 – 9/12 = 2/12 = 1/6
