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

(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) 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

I need help with this math problem
mr Goodwill [35]

Let X = number of minutes.

Plan A = 50 + 0.04X

Plan B = 60 + 0.02X


50 + 0.04X = 60 + 0.02X

Subtract 50 from each side:

0.04X = 10 + 0.02X

Subtract 0.02X from each side:

0.02X = 10

Divide both sides by 0.02

X = 10 / 0.02

X = 500

It will take 500 minutes.

What is the pattern in the values as the exponents increase?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

"Multiply the previous value by 2"

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's check the first 2 terms for all the answer choices.

1. Add \frac{1}{16} to the previous value:

\frac{1}{32}+\frac{1}{16}=\frac{3}{32}

Doesn't match.

2. Subtract \frac{1}{16} from the previous value:

\frac{1}{32}-\frac{1}{16}=-\frac{1}{32}

Doesn't match.

3. Divide the previous value by 2:

\frac{\frac{1}{32}}{2}\\=\frac{1}{32}*\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{64}

Doesn't match.

4. Multiply the previous value by 2:

\frac{1}{32}*2=\frac{2}{32}=\frac{1}{16}

DOES WORK!

Also, doing the same thing with all the other values would give us matching answer. So this choice is right.
