Answer:

it would have traveled 184 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the rate in which the fish is swimming is 8 feet per second and given that we have to figure out the distance in which it traveled in 23 seconds, we can just multiply 8× 23 to receive 184 feet in 23 seconds.

The amount of calories consumed by customers at the Chinese buffet is normally distributed with mean 2885 and standard deviation

Answer:

a. X~N(2,885, 651)

b. 0.086291

c. 0.00058

d. 3213.10 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

a. -A normal distribution is expressed in the form X~N(mean, standard deviation).

-Let X a random variable denoting the number of calories consumed.

-X is a is a normally distributed random variable with mean 2885 and standard deviation 651.

-This distribution is expressed as X~N(2,885, 651)

b. The probability that less than 2000 calories are consumed is calculated using the formula:

$P(X$

#substitute the given values in the formula to solve for P:

$P(X$

Hence, the probability of consuming less than 2000 calories is 0.08691

c. The proportion of customers consuming more than 5000 calories is calculated as:

$P(X>x)=P(z>\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma})\\\\=P(Z>\frac{5000-2885}{651})\\\\=P(z>3.2488)\\\\=1-0.99942\\\\=0.00058$

Hence, the proportion of customers consuming over 5000 calories is 0.00058

d. The least amount of calories to get the award is calculated as:

1% is equivalent to a z value of 0.50399.

-We equate this to the formula to solve for the mean consumption:

$0.01=P(z>\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma})\\\\=P(z>\frac{\bar X-2885}{651})\\\\\1\%=0.50399 \\\\\frac{\bar X-2885}{651}=0.50399 \\\\\bar X=0.50399\times 651+2885\\\\=3213.09$
