Answer:

Arithmetic Sequence:

d=4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an arithmetic sequence since there is a common difference between each term. In this case, adding 4 o the previous term in the sequence gives the next term. In other words, aₙ=a₁+d(n-1)

Answer:

$P(X>55.4)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{55.4-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{55.4-55}{0.5})=P(Z>0.8)$

$P(Z>0.8)=1-P(Z\leq 0.8)$

$P(Z>0.8)=1-0.788=0.212$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this previous info : "Trucks carry barrels of crude oil from a port in Texas to a distributer in New Mexico on long trailers. Filling equipment is used to fill the barrels with the oil. When functioning properly, the actual volume of oil loaded into each barrel by the filling equipment at the port is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 55 gallons and a standard deviation of 0.5 gallons. If the mean is greater than 55.4 gallons, the filling mechanism is overfilling."

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the amount filling of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(55,0.5)$
