Answer:

The probability that <em>X</em> is less than 42 is 0.1271.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X </em>follows a Normal distribution.

The mean and standard deviation are:

E (X) = <em>μ</em> = 50.

SD (X) = <em>σ</em> = 7.

A normal distribution is continuous probability distribution.

The Normal probability distribution with mean µ and standard deviation σ is given by,

f_{X}(\mu, \sigma)=\frac{1}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-(x-\mu)^{2}/2\sigma^{2}};\ -\infty

To compute the probability of a Normal random variable we first standardize the raw score.

The raw scores are standardized using the formula:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

These standardized scores are known as <em>z</em>-scores and they follow normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.

Compute the probability of (X < 42) as follows:

P(X

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

Thus, the probability that <em>X</em> is less than 42 is 0.1271.

The normal curve is shown below.

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x-16=2x+2

-4x-2x= 16+2

-6x = 18

x = 18/-6 = -3

I hope im right!!
