Answer:

price = x * 0.2

price = x * 0.454 * 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we must know either the mass of the cake or its volume.

Given the case that we know the mass of the cake, it would be:

price = x * 0.2

where x is the mass of the cake in ounces, that is to say if for example a cake has a mass of 10 ounces, it would be:

price = 10 * 0.2 = 2

which means that each cake costs $ 2

Given the case of the volume, we must first multiply the density by this volume in order to calculate the mass and finally the price.

price = x * 0.454 * 0.2

where x is the volume of the cake in cubic inches, if for example the volume is 10 cubic inches it would be:

price = 10 * 0.454 * 0.2 = 0.908

which means that each cake costs $ 0.9

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

$P(X$

And we can find this probability using excel or the normal standard tabe and we got:

$P(z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the temperatures of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(123.8,3.1)$
