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

For number one the second card must be positive or he would have to put it back if its negative for number 2 the card must be 3 4 5 because negative 2 plus 3 is 1 which is positive and negative 2 plus 4 and 5 would allow her to keep her cards. for the third one danny could have pulled a negaitive 1 2 3 4 and 5. oh dude i forgot to put decimals but still the same thing

Corresponding angles are congruent which angle corresponds with &lt;4?
Alona [7]

Answer:

<8

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, Corresponding angles are congruent that is Corresponding angles are equal in measure. From the diagram shown, the angle corresponding to <4 is <8 since they are located at the same position on both parallel lines that is right below (both at the top and bottom based on geometry )

A wall has been built with two pieces of sheetrock, a smaller one and a larger one. The length of the smaller one is stored in t
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The answer is: small+large.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the variable of the smaller sheetrock is stored in small:

var small.

And the variable of the larger sheetrock is stored in large:

var large.

The length of the wall will be the sum of the two pieces of sheetrock:

  • small+large

For example:

var small = 5;

var large = 10;

small+large = 5 + 10 = 15 is the length of the wall.
