A company interested in lumbering rights for a certain tract of slash pine trees is told that the mean diameter of these trees i

s 19 inches with a standard deviation of 2.3 inches. Assume the distribution of diameters is roughly mound-shaped. (a) What fraction of the trees will have diameters between 14.4 and 25.9 inches? 0.75 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. (b) What fraction of the trees will have diameters greater than 21.3 inches?

Answer:

97.5 %

15.7 %

Step-by-step explanation:

\mu = Mean = 19

\sigma = Standard deviation = 2.3

a)

\mu+x\sigma=25.9\\\Rightarrow 19+x\times 2.3=25.9\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{25.9-19}{2.3}\\\Rightarrow x=3

\mu-x\sigma=14.4\\\Rightarrow 19-x\times 2.3=14.4\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{19-14.4}{-2.3}\\\Rightarrow x=2

From the empirical rule we get that the percentage of trees between 14.4 and 25.9 inches is 13.6+34.1+34.1+13.6+2.1 = 97.5 %

b)

\mu+x\sigma=21.3\\\Rightarrow 19+x\times 2.3=21.3\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{21.3-19}{2.3}\\\Rightarrow x=1

The fraction of tree under 21.3 inches is 34.1.

Hence the fraction of trees above the diameter of 21.3 inches is 13.6+2.1 = 15.7 %

Sam found that 25% of the 236 patients he saw in a week were near-sighted. How many of the patients Sam saw were near-sighted?Sa
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

59 patients

Step-by-step explanation:

Total patients Sam saw in a week = 236

Percentage of patients near-sighted = 25%

How many of the patients Sam saw were near-sighted?

Number of patients near-sighted = 25% of 236

= 25/100 × 236

= 0.25 × 236

= 59

Number of patients near-sighted = 59 patients

The number of patients Sam saw in a week that were near-sighted is 59 patients

In shop a crunchy peanut butter costs $325 for 250g
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

shop b

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find for example how much 100 grams of peanut butter cost in each shop using a proportion

shop A 100 : 250 = x : 325

x = (325 * 100) / 250 = $130

shop B  100 : 340 = x : 408

x = (408 * 100)/ 340 = $120

We discovered that shop B is cheaper
