Normal Distribution Problem. Porphyrin is a pigment in blood protoplasm and other body fluids that is significant in body energy

and storage. Assume porphyrin is normally distributed with mean (mu) = 38 milligrams per deciliter and standard deviation (sigma) = 12 milligrams per deciliter. a) What is the probability that x is less than 56? (56-38)/12= 18/12= 1.5 → 0.4332 (?) b) What is the probability that x is greater than 23? (23-38)/12= -1.25 → Z=

Answer:

A) P(X < 56) = 0.9332

B) P(X > 56) = 0.8944

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Porphyrin is a pigment in blood protoplasm and other body fluids that is significant in body energy and storage.

Let x be a random variable that represents the number of milligrams of porphyrin per deciliter of blood.

x is approximately normally distributed with;

mean μ = 38

standard deviation σ = 15.

So the distribution of X is written as:

X ~ N (μ = 38, σ = 15)

A) The required probability that x is less than 56 is given as;

P(X < 56) = P((x - μ)/σ) < (56-38)/15)

Thus, we have;

P(z ≤ 1.5)

From the table attached, it gives a value of; 0.93319 ≈ 0.9332

B)The required probability that x is greater than 23 is given as;

P(X > 56) = P((x - μ)/σ) < (23-38)/12)

Thus, we have;

P(z ≥ -1.25) = 1 - P(z ≤ -1.25)

From the second table attached,

P(z ≥ -1) = 1 - 0.10565 = 0.89435 ≈ 0.8944

Answer: a) 0.9332, b) 0.8944

Step-by-step explanation: the probability value attached to a z score is gotten by using a z distribution table.

The z score is gotten by making use of the formulae below

Z = x - u / σ

Where x = sample mean, u = population mean and σ = population standard deviation.

a)

For our question, u = 38, σ = 12, we are to look for the z score at z ≤ 56, that's x = 56

By substituting the parameters, we have that

z ≤ 56 = 56 - 38/ 12

z ≤ 56 = 18/12

z ≤ 56 = 1.5

To get the probabilistic value, we check the normal distribution table.

The table I'm using will be giving me probabilistic value towards the left of the area.

From the table, p ( z ≤ 56) = 0.9332.

b)

Z >23 = 23 - 38/ 12

Z >23 = - 15/ 12

Z >23 = - 1.25

The probability value of this z score is towards the right of the distribution but the table I'm using is only giving probability values towards the left.

Hence Z >23 = 1 - Z<23

From the table, Z<23 = 0.1056.

Z >23 = 1 - 0.1056

Z >23 = 0.8944

Find 8.5 times the difference between 77 and 13
Anton [14]

Answer:

544

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement 8.5 times the difference between 77 and 13 can be expressed mathematically as 8.5×(77-13)

According to BODMAS, we will deal with the expression in the bracket first to have;

8.5×64

Then we the product of the resulting expression.

8.5×64

= 544

The answer is 544

A circle has an area of 497 square inches. What is the circumference of the circle?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

easy peasy

Step-by-step explanation:

we have, area = 497 sq. units

that is, (pi) (radius)^2=497

=> (22/7) x r^2 = 497

=> r^2 = 158.13

=> r = √158.13

=> r = 12.57

now we also have radius, soooo

=> circumference = 2 (pi) (radius)

=> (2) (22/7) (12.57)

=> 79.01 inches

What are the solutions of the system?
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Option C. No solution is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the given equations are y = x²+2x+3 -----(1)

and y = 4x-2 -------(2)

Now we substitute the value of y from equation 2 into 1.

x²+2x+3 = 4x-2

x²+2x+3-2x = 4x-2-2x

x²+3 = 2x-2

x²+3-2x = 2x-2x-2

x²-2x+3 = -2

x²-2x+5 = 0

Then value of x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

=\frac{+2\pm \sqrt{4-4\times 1\times 5}}{2}

=\frac{2\pm \sqrt{4-20}}{2}

Since in this solution √(-20) is not defined. Therefore there is no solution.

Which numbers are 4 units from -2 on the number line
Artemon [7]

Let the number be x


Then the absolute value of the number from -2 should be 4


|x--2|=4


|x+2|=4


So either



(x+2)=4


x=4-2=2


Or


-(x+2)=4


x+2=-4



x=-4-2



x=-6



[tex] <B>The numbers are 2 and -6</B> [/tex[


They are four units away from -2 on the number line
