Since the largest size of one of the dimensions is 10.5, it has to correspond with the long side of the card, the 5 in. side. To find the proportion of the sides, divide 10.5 by 5. Then, multiply the other side of the card by the quotient.

10.5/5 = 2.1

2.1 * 2 = 4.2

4.2in is the shorter side. Your question asks to round to the nearest tenths, the smallest place value of the answer is already the tenths place.

The variable z has a standard normal distribution. find the value z such that the event z > z has proportion 0.08. z = –1.41
andrezito [222]

The appropriate choice is z = 1.41.


The empirical rule tells you 68% of the distribution is within 1 standard deviation, so p(z > 1) ≈ 0.17. This means the z value is more than 1 for the probability to drop to 0.08. The only choice that is greater than 1 is 1.41. (The number is actually about 1.40507.)
