Answer:

P(x

We can calculate the z score given by:

z =\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}= \frac{14.6-13.1}{1.5}= 1

So for this case 14.6 is a value 1 deviation above the mean

We know that within 1 deviation from the mean we have 68% of the data, and on the tails we will have 100-68 = 32% and 16% on each tail, so then we can conclude that:

P(X

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rule, also known as three-sigma rule or 68-95-99.7 rule, "is a statistical rule which states that for a normal distribution, almost all data falls within three standard deviations (denoted by σ) of the mean (denoted by µ)".

Let X the random variable who represent the lifespans of meerkats.

From the problem we have the mean and the standard deviation for the random variable X. E(X)=13.1, Sd(X)=1.5

So we can assume \mu=13.1 , \sigma=1.5

On this case in order to check if the random variable X follows a normal distribution we can use the empirical rule that states the following:

• The probability of obtain values within one deviation from the mean is 0.68

• The probability of obtain values within two deviation's from the mean is 0.95

• The probability of obtain values within three deviation's from the mean is 0.997

And we want the following probability:

P(x

We can calculate the z score given by:

z =\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}= \frac{14.6-13.1}{1.5}= 1

So for this case 14.6 is a value 1 deviation above the mean

We know that within 1 deviation from the mean we have 68% of the data, and on the tails we will have 100-68 = 32% and 16% on each tail, so then we can conclude that:

P(X

aev [14]

Answer:

The number of men was 80

The number of women was 70

Step-by-step explanation:

The question in English is

Having organized a bingo has raised $1900. For the entrance of men $15 and women $10 and an attendance of 150 people has been reported. Determine the number of men and the number of women who participated in the bingo.

Let

x----> the number of men

y----> the number of women

we know that

x+y=150

x=150-y -----> equation A

15x+10y=1,900 -----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B and solve for y

15(150-y)+10y=1,900

2,250-15y+10y=1,900

15y-10y=2,250-1,900

5y=350

y=70

Find the value of x

x=150-70=80

therefore

The number of men was 80

The number of women was 70
