Coal is carried from a mine in West Virginia to a power plant in New York in hopper cars on a long train. The automatic hopper c

ar loader is set to put 69 tons of coal into each car. The actual weights of coal loaded into each car are normally distributed, with mean μ = 69 tons and standard deviation σ = 0.9 ton. What is the probability that one car chosen at random will have less than 68.5 tons of coal?

Answer:

0.2839 = 28.93%

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find find the probability that one car chosen at random will have less than 68.5 tons of coal, we have to find z

Le x be tons of coal in a car

Z = (x – mean)/standard deviation

Z = (x – μ)/ σ

P (x<68.5) = P(z < (68.5-69)/0.9)

P (x<68.5) = P(z < -0.5555)

Then we use the z table to find the area under the curve.

P (x<68.5) = 0.2893

Solve for x: 12-2x=-2(y-x)
a_sh-v [17]
12 - 2x = -2(y - x)

12 - 2x = -2y - (-2x)

12 - 2x = -2y + 2x

12 - 2x - 2x = -2y + 2x - 2x

12 - 4x = -2y

12 - 12 - 4x = -2y - 12

-4x = -2y - 12

-4x/4 = -2y/4 - 12/4

-x = -0.5y - 3

-x/-1 = -0.5y/-1 - 3/-1

x = 0.5y + 3

or

x = 3 + 0.5y
