Answer:

a) 90.695 lb

b) 85.305 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 88, \sigma = 7

(a) The 65th percentile

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.65. So X when Z = 0.385.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

0.385 = \frac{X - 88}{7}

X - 88 = 7*0.385

X = 90.695

(b) The 35th percentile

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.35. So X when Z = -0.385.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-0.385 = \frac{X - 88}{7}

X - 88 = 7*(-0.385)

X = 85.305

Answer:

it is  not a good estimate.

Step-by-step explanation:3816 can be rounded to 4000 and 467 can be rounded to 500. Adding 4000+500 gives 4500, which isn't near 8000.

How can you tell whether a counting problem is a permutation or combination problem? Give examples to support your answer
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation is the ways in which a fixed group or members that can be arranged or ordered and combinations are used when a smaller group has to be chosen from a larger group.

Examples:

<u>Permutation: </u>How many unique combinations of the word MAHNOOR can be formed when the letters will be scrambled

2. In what order or arrangements five people can be seated in the front row?

The number of people are fixed, we have to find the order.

<u>Combination:</u> Choosing two cards from a deck of 52 cards. We are choosing a small group from a larger group of all cards.

2. Choosing 4 students from a class to take part in the competition.

The selection can be made in multiple ways ..
