Answer:

Option D) $275

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = $235

Standard Deviation, σ = $20

We are given that the distribution of amount of money spent by students is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.975

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 235}{20})=0.975  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P( z < 1.960) = 0.975

\displaystyle\frac{x - 235}{20} = 1.960\\x =274.2 \approx 275

Approximately 97.5% of the students spent below $275 on textbook.

Restless Leg Syndrome and Fibromyalgia
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The probability that a person with restless leg syndrome has fibromyalgia is 0.183.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>F</em> = a person with fibromyalgia

<em>R</em> = a person having restless leg syndrome

The information provided is as follows:

P (R | F) = 0.33

P (R | F') = 0.03

P (F) = 0.02

Consider the tree diagram attached below.

Compute the probability that a person with restless leg syndrome has fibromyalgia as follows:

P(F|R)=\frac{P(R|F)P(F)}{P(R|F)P(F)+P(R|F')P(F')}

            =\frac{(0.33\times 0.02)}{(0.33\times 0.02)+(0.03\times 0.98)}\\\\=\frac{0.0066}{0.0066+0.0294}\\\\=0.183333\\\\\approx 0.183

Thus, the probability that a person with restless leg syndrome has fibromyalgia is 0.183.
