Answer:

a) 0.1587

b) 0.0475

c) 0.7938

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start defining our random variable.

X : ''Thickness (in mm) of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village''

X is modeled as a normal random variable.

X ~ N(μ,σ)

Where μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation.

To calculate all the probabilities, we are going to normalize the random variable X.

We are going to call to the standard normal distribution ''Z''.

[(X - μ) / σ] ≅ Z

We normalize by subtracting the mean to X and then dividing by standard deviation.

We can find the values of probabilities for Z in a standard normal distribution table.

We are going to call Φ(A) to the normal standard cumulative distribution evaluated in a value ''A''

a)

P(X

P(ZΦ(-1) = 0.1587

b)

P(X>7)=P(\frac{X-4.5}{1.5}>\frac{7-4.5}{1.5})

P(Z>1.666)=1-P(Z\leq 1.666)=

1 - Φ(1.666) = 1 - 0.9525 = 0.0475

c)

P(3

P(-1 Φ(1.666) - Φ(-1) = 0.9525 - 0.1587 = 0.7938

andrezito [222]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate C by adding corresponding components of A + B

C = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}4\\-7.5\\\end{array}\right] + \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2.5\\5\\\end{array}\right]

= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}4-2.5\\-7.5+5\\\end{array}\right]

= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1.5\\-2.5\\\end{array}\right]

Please HElppppppppppppp meeeeeeee! I have less than 10 minutes!
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

A) 5  3/10

B) 785 3/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps <3

you find a common denominator and then simplify all fractions to that common denominator. then, you add them up!

2 1/5 + 3 1/10

5 can fit into 10 twice so it becomes...

2 2/10 + 3 1/10 which equals

<u>5 3/10</u>

472 2/5 + 312 3/4

5 times 4 is 20

472 8/20 + 312 15/20

there is a remainder of 3 for the fractions so you put it over 20.

<u>785 3/20</u>

on the first of january 2014, carol invested some money in a bank account. The account pays 2.5% interest per year. On the first
almond37 [142]

Answer: £23,360

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use algebra to solve this.

Assume that the original investment is x.

In the beginning of 2015 the balance had increased by 2.5% which is denoted as:

= 1.025x

Carol then withdrew a thousand:

= 1.025x - 1,000

This value then increased by 2.5% again by the beginning of 2016:

= 1.025 * (1.025x - 1,000)

Relevant expression therefore is:

1.025 *(1.025x - 1,000) = 23,517.60

1.025x - 1,000 = 23,517.60/1.025

1.025x = ‭22,944‬ + 1,000

x = 23,944/1.025

x = £23,360
