A) the probability is 0.123 or 12.3%.
B) the probability is 0.8589 or 85.89%.
C) the normal distribution can be used even though the sample is small because the population the sample is taken from is normally distributed.

Explanation
A) We first find the z-score that corresponds with this value.
z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}
\\
\\=\frac{215-205}{8.6}= 1.1628

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we find 1.16; this corresponds to a probability of 0.8770.  However, This is the probability that a number will be lower than this; since we want the probability that the value is higher, we subtract from 1:

1-0.8770 = 0.123.

B) To find the probability of a sample mean, we use the formula
z=\frac{X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}
\\
\\=\frac{202.8-205}{\frac{8.6}{\sqrt{15}}}=-0.9908

Looking in our z-table we see that this corresponds with 0.1611.  Again, however, this is the area left of this value, which is the probability below; we want the probability above, so we subtract from 1:

1-0.1611 = 0.8589

RUDIKE [14]
The volume of a cube = length x width x height. Since they told us this box has a square base, the length and width are both 18 inches.

V = 18 x 18 x 16
V = 5184 cubic inches or in^3

How do you divide $306 into the ratio of 9:5:3? Can someone give me some advice on how to solve this problem?
GarryVolchara [31]
In order to divide $306 into the ratio of 9 to 5 to 3, first you have to make each section of the ratio represented by a variable, and put it into an equation.

9x + 5x + 3x = 306

Our next step is to simplify the left side of the equation by combining all of the like terms, the ones that contain variables.

17x = 306

Finally, to solve this equation, you have to divide both sides by 17 to isolate the variable x on the left side of the equation.

x = 18

However, this is not our answer as it isn't in a ratio format and doesn't really make sense. To find our ratio, we have to multiply each of our initial numbers (9, 5, and 3) by our variable, x.

9 * 18 = 162
5 * 18 = 90
3 * 18 = 54

You can verify that these numbers are correct because if you add them together you get 306.

Your final ratio is 162:90:54.

Hope this helps! :)

If you have a separate specific question about pre-tax prices and PMed me the link, I'd be happy to help you.

What is the volume of a cone with the given dimensions?<br> Diameter = 14 cm.; Height = 2 cm.
Helga [31]
Volume of a cone = (π.R²)(h/3)

Diameter = 14cm then R=7 cm

Height = h= 2cm

Hence V=*π.7²)(2/3) ==> 98π/3 or 102.625 cm³
