Answer:

<u>The probability that the weight of a randomly selected steer is between 1,739 and 1,800 lbs is 0.0218 or 2.18%</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

μ of the weights of steers in a herd= 1,400 lbs

σ² = 40,000 ⇒ σ = √40,000 = 200 lbs

2. Find the probability that the weight of a randomly selected steer is between 1,739 and 1,800 lbs. Round your answer to four decimal places.

Let's find the z-score for 1,739 and 1.800, this way:

z-score = (X - μ)/σ

z-score = (1,739 - 1,400)/200

z-score = 339/200

z-score = 1.695 = 1.70 (rounding to the next hundredth)

z-score = (X - μ)/σ

z-score = (1,800 - 1,400)/200

z-score = 400/200

z-score = 2

Now, let's find p for z-score = 1.7 and p for z-score = 2, using the z-table, as follows:

p (z = 1.7) = 0.9554

p (z = 2) = 0.9772

In consequence,

p (1.7 ≤ z ≤ 2 ) = 0.9772 - 0.9554

p (1.7 ≤ z ≤ 2 ) = 0.0218

<u>The probability that the weight of a randomly selected steer is between 1,739 and 1,800 lbs is 0.0218 or 2.18%</u>

Answer:

P(1739

(Correct to 4 decimal places)

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of a continuous normal variable X found in a particular interval [a, b] is the area under the curve bounded by x=a and x=b and is given by:

P(a

where

f(X)=\frac{1}{\sigma \sqrt{2 \pi} }e^{-\frac{1}{2} (\frac{x-u}{ \sigma} )^2}



f(X)=\frac{1}{200 \sqrt{2 \pi} }e^{-\frac{1}{2} (\frac{x-1400}{ 200} )^2}\\=\frac{1}{200 \sqrt{2 \pi} }e^{- \frac{(x-1400)^2}{ 80000}\\

P(1739

P(1739

Using a calculator,

P(1739

(-16,20),(-6,-15) what’s the slope
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

-3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope we use

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (-15-20)/(-6 - -16)

   =(-15-20)/(-6+16)

   -35/10

   = -3.5

1 -For what value of x is line a parallel to line b
IgorC [24]

Answer:

1) x = 17,  line a parallel to line b

2) x = 18,  line a parallel to line b

Step-by-step explanation:

If line a parallel to line b then (10x - 40) + 50 = 180

Solve for x

10x - 40 + 50 = 180

Combine like terms

10x + 10 = 180

10x = 170

  x = 17

x = 17,  line a parallel to line b

-------------------------------------------------

If line a parallel to line b then 5x - 16 = 74

Solve for x

5x - 16 = 74

5x = 90

  x = 18

x = 18,  line a parallel to line b

Which unit of measurement would be most appropriate to measure the distance between Atlanta, GA and Nashville, TN? A) centimeter
Helga [31]
The answer to this question should be: C. Kilometers

To answer this question, I will rearrange the option from the smallest unit into the highest unit. 

Centimeter
Inch
Yards 
Kilometer

Centimeter and inch are similar, they are mostly used for measure height of people or object. Yards is used for measuring a field area. Kilometer would be the biggest. It used for roads or expressing distance between city/country. So the answer should be kilometers
