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

Two pieces of equipment were purchased for a total of $4000. If one piece cost $850 more than
ruslelena [56]

The price of less expensive equipment is $1575.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Price of one equipment = x

Price of other equipment = y

According to given statement;

x+y=4000   Eqn 1

x = y+850    Eqn 2

Putting Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

(y+850)+y=4000\\y+850+y=4000\\2y=4000-850\\2y=3150

Dividing both sides by 2;

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{3150}{2}\\y=1575

Putting y=1575 in Eqn 2;

x=1575+850\\x=2425

The price of less expensive equipment is $1575.

Which point is the incenter of ​ △JKL ​ ?
allsm [11]

Answer: In-center of the triangle is point N.


Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a triangle △JKL.

In triangle △JKL, they drew perpendicular bisectors of each side of the triangle.

Also we are given angle bisectors of the each of angles in given triangle.

Note: Perpendicular bisector is a line that intersect a segment into two equal parts and also perpendicular to it.

<em>Also note that the in-center is the point forming the origin of a circle inscribed inside the triangle. It is constructed by taking the intersection of the angle bisectors of the three vertices of the triangle.</em>

<h3>We can see that angle bisectors are intersecting at a point N. </h3><h3>Therefore, in-center of the triangle is point N.</h3>
