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

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

$9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Thea enters a positive integer into her calculator, then squares it, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key, then squares the result, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key again such that the calculator displays final number as $243$.

To find: number that Thea originally entered

Solution:

The final number is $243$.

As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,

the number before $243$ must be $324$.

As previously the number was squared, so the number before $324$ must be $18$.

As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,

the number before $18$ must be $81$

As previously the number was squared, so the number before $81$ must be $9$.

Simplify x^2+xy-yx+y^2 + y^2+yz-zy+z^2 + z^2+zx-xz+x^2
Artemon [7]

Answer:

2x^2 + 2y^2 + 2z^2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+xy-yx+y^2 + y^2+yz-zy+z^2 + z^2+zx-xz+x^2

First step is to put all the same ones together

( FYI, xy and yx is the same thing, just like how

2 x 3 and 3 x 2 is the same thing) this time I'll bracket the groups to make it easier on the eyes

(x^2 +x^2) + (xy - xy) +( y^2 + y^2) + (yz - yz) +

(z^2 +z^2) + (zx - zx)

2x^2 + 2y^2 + 2z^2

All the others just cancel themselves out, for example, xy-xy

When anything minus themselves it will become 0
