A random variable r is normally distributed with a mean of 7 and a standard deviation of 1.5. Find the value of w so that P (8.8
1 answer:
Answer:
The answer is explained below
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
mean (μ) = 7 and standard deviation (σ) = 1.5.
The z score is used in statistic used to measure the number of standard deviation by which the raw score is above or below the mean value. It is given by:
To find the Probability that x < 8.8, we first find the z score using:
From the z tables, P(x < 8.8) = P(z < 1.2) = 0.8849 = 88.49%

The dimensions such as length is 18 and width is 16 or length is 32 and width is 9 will produce an enclosed area of 288ft.
<h3>What is the dimension of length and width?</h3>We know that,
P = l + 2w
50 = l + 2w
50 - 2w = l
A = l x w
288 = (50 - 2w)w
288 = 50w -2w²
2w² - 50w + 288
By dividing throughout by 2
w² - 25w + 144
This is in quadratic equation form.
By applying quadratic formula,
w = (-(-25) ± ) / 2
w = (-(-25) ± 7)/2
w1 = (-(-25) + 7)/2
w1 = (25 + 7) / 2
w1 = 16
w2 = (-(-25) - 7)/2
w2 = (25 - 7) / 2
w2 = 9
By substituting the values in eq1,
A = l x w
if w = 16
288 = l x 16
l = 288/16
l = 18
if w = 9
288 = l x 9
l = 288/9
l = 32
The dimensions will be length is 18 and width is 16 or length is 32 and width is 9.
