Part a)
It was given that 3% of patients gained weight as a side effect.
This means


The mean is


The standard deviation is



We want to find the probability that exactly 24 patients will gain weight as side effect.
P(X=24)
We apply the Continuity Correction Factor(CCF)
P(24-0.5<X<24+0.5)=P(23.5<X<24.5)
We convert to z-scores.

Part b) We want to find the probability that 24 or fewer patients will gain weight as a side effect.
P(X≤24)
We apply the continuity correction factor to get;
P(X<24+0.5)=P(X<24.5)
We convert to z-scores to get:

Part c)
We want to find the probability that
11 or more patients will gain weight as a side effect.
P(X≥11)
Apply correction factor to get:
P(X>11-0.5)=P(X>10.5)
We convert to z-scores:


Part d)
We want to find the probability that:
between 24 and 28, inclusive, will gain weight as a side effect.
P(24≤X≤28)=
P(23.5≤X≤28.5)
Convert to z-scores:

Step-by-step explanation:
A. part 1: $1.49 for 6 pencils
1 pencil would cost $1.49 / 6 = $0.24833(5s.f.) = $0.25 (nearest cent)
part 2: $4.60 for 20 pencils
1 pencil would cost $4.60 / 20 = $0.23
best value: part 2 (20pencil pack)

We want to find the values of a, b, c, and d such that the given matrix product is equal to a 2x2 identity matrix. We will solve a system of equations to find:
<h3>
Presenting the equation:</h3>
Basically, we want to solve:
![\left[\begin{array}{cc}-1&2\\a&1\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{cc}b&c\\1&d\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D-1%262%5C%5Ca%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%2A%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Db%26c%5C%5C1%26d%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D1%260%5C%5C0%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
The matrix product will be:
![\left[\begin{array}{cc}-b + 2&-c + 2d\\a*b + 1&a*c + d\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D-b%20%2B%202%26-c%20%2B%202d%5C%5Ca%2Ab%20%2B%201%26a%2Ac%20%2B%20d%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Then we must have:
-b + 2 = 1
This means that:
b = 2 - 1 = 1
We also need to have:
a*b + 1 = 0
we know the value of b, so we just have:
a*1 + b = 0
Now the two remaining equations are:
-c + 2d = 0
a*c + d = 1
Replacing the value of a we get:
-c + 2d = 0
-c + d = 1
Isolating c in the first equation we get:
c = 2d
Replacing that in the other equation we get:
-(2d) + d = 1
-d = 1
Then:
c = 2d = 2*(-1) = -2
So the values are:
