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.

A cannon ball is launched at 6 feet per second from the top of a platform 12 feet above the ground.
AleksAgata [21]
A.) y = ut - 1/2gt^2 + 12
y = 6t - 1/2(9.8)t^2 + 12
y = 6t - 4.9t^2 + 12

b.) The y-intercept is 12

c.) The y-intercept represent the height of the ball at time t = 0

d.) At the time the ball reaches the ground, y = 0
-4.9t^2 + 6t + 12 = 0
t = 2.29 seconds
Therefore, it took the ball 2.29 seconds to reach the ground.
