Thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally

distributed, with a mean of 4.5 millimeters (mm) and a standard deviation of 1.7 mm. For a randomly found shard, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
(a) the thickness is less than 3.0 mm.

(b) the thickness is more than 7.0 mm.

(c) the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm.

Answer:

a) P(X

P(z

b) P(X>7.0)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{7-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z1.47)

P(z>1.47)=1-P(z

c)  P(3

P(-0.882

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the thickness of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(4.5,1.7)  

Where \mu=4.5 and \sigma=1.7

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability using excel or the normal standard table:

P(z

Part b

We are interested on this probability

P(X>3.0)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>7.0)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{7-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z1.47)

And we can find this probability using excel or the normal standard table:

P(z>1.47)=1-P(z

Part c

P(3

And we can find this probability using excel or the normal standard table liek this:

P(-0.882

If the simple interest on ​$7000 for 10 years is ​$6300​, then what is the interest​ rate? I will pick branliest answer with the
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

0.09

Step-by-step explanation:

So if you use the Simple interest equation it will begin with:
Interest total = Initial Amount of money x Interest rate per year x Years money is invested for.

Then substitute the values you have been given so:

$6300 = 7000 x Interest rate per year x 10.

This is simplifies to 6300 = 70,000 x Annual Interest rate

You can rearrange this to find the annual interest rate by dividing by 70,000:
\frac{6300}{70000} = Interest\ rate

Simplifying this would be:
\frac{63}{700}\\ = Interest rate.

The interest rate is 0.09.
