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

Frank purchased an air conditioner for $3000. Its value depreciates at a rate of 8% each year. How much will the air conditioner
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

$2280

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Cost of Air conditioner= $3000.

            Rate of depreciation= 8%

            Number of year= 3 years.

Now, finding the depreciation for 3 years.

Depreciation= \frac{Cost\ of\ air\ conditioner\times rate\ of\ depreciation\times years}{100}

Amount of depreciation= \frac{\$ 3000\times 8\times 3}{100} = \$ 30\times 24

∴ Amount of depreciation in 3 years is $720.

Cost of Air conditioner after 3 years= Original\ cost - Amount\ of\ depreciation

⇒ Cost of Air conditioner after 3 years= \$ 3000-\$ 720= \$ 2280.

∴ Cost of Air conditioner in 3 years is $2280.

You are planning on using circles to compare the populations of California 37,691,000, Texas 25,675,000, and New York 19,465,000
kati45 [8]
The circle for New York:
r = 5 cm,  Area : A = r² π  = 25 π cm²
New York:  19,465,000
California:  37,691,000
Texas:  25,675,000.
-----------------------------------
California:  37,691,000 : 19,465,000 = 1.93635 N Y
1.93635  x  25 π = 48.4 π    ⇒    r = 6.957 ≈  7.0  cm
Texas :  25,675,000 : 19,465,000 = 1.319 N Y
1.319  x 25 π = 32.975 π   ⇒   r = 5.742  ≈   5.7  cm
