Answer:

a. -1.60377

b. 0.25451

c. 0.344

d. Option b) 78th

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of pieces in a regular bag of Skittles is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 38.4 and a standard deviation of 2.12.

a)What is the z-score value of a randomly selected bag of Skittles that has 35 Skittles? a) 1.62 b) -1.62 c) 3.40 d) -3.40 e)1.303.

The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

z = 35 - 38.4/2.12

= -1.60377

Option b) -1.62 is correct

b) What is the probability that a randomly selected bag of Skittles has at least 37 Skittles? a) .152 b) .247 c) .253 d).747e).7534. .

z = (x-μ)/σ

Mean of 38.4 and a standard deviation of 2.12.

z = (37 - 38.4)/2.12

= -0.66038

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x<37) = 0.25451

The probability that a randomly selected bag of Skittles has at least 37 Skittles is 0.25451

Option c) .253 is.correct

c) What is the probability that a randomly selected bag of Skittles has between 39 and 42 Skittles? a) .112 b) .232 c) .344 d).457 e).6125.

z = (x-μ)/σ

Mean of 38.4 and a standard deviation of 2.12.

For 39 Skittles

z = (39 - 38.4)/2.12

= 0.28302

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 39) = 0.61142

For 42 Skittles

z = (42 - 38.4)/2.12

= 1.69811

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 42) = 0.95526

The probability that a randomly selected bag of Skittles has between 39 and 42 Skittles is:

P(x = 42) - P(x = 39

0.95526 - 0.61142

0.34384

= 0.344

Option c is.correct

d) What is the percentile rank of a randomly selected bag of Skittles that has 40 Skittles in it? a)82nd b) 78th c) 75th d)25th e)22nd

z = (x-μ)/σ

Mean of 38.4 and a standard deviation of 2.12.

z = (40 - 38.4)/2.12

= 0.75472

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x = 40) = 0.77479

Converting to percentage = 0.77479× 100

= 77. 479%

≈ 77.5

Percentile rank = 78th

Elan Coil [88]
Hello,

2x - one over four of (12x + 4) = 3
must be written:
2x-1/4 *(12x+4)=3
And we see a sign '-' before 1/4.

Step 1:
2x-(3x+1)=3 or 2x-3x-1=3 and not 2x+3x-1=3

Answer A
since  Step 1, because incorrect signs have been used
