Part a)
It was given that 3% of patients gained weight as a side effect.
This means


The mean is


The standard deviation is



We want to find the probability that exactly 24 patients will gain weight as side effect.
P(X=24)
We apply the Continuity Correction Factor(CCF)
P(24-0.5<X<24+0.5)=P(23.5<X<24.5)
We convert to z-scores.

Part b) We want to find the probability that 24 or fewer patients will gain weight as a side effect.
P(X≤24)
We apply the continuity correction factor to get;
P(X<24+0.5)=P(X<24.5)
We convert to z-scores to get:

Part c)
We want to find the probability that
11 or more patients will gain weight as a side effect.
P(X≥11)
Apply correction factor to get:
P(X>11-0.5)=P(X>10.5)
We convert to z-scores:


Part d)
We want to find the probability that:
between 24 and 28, inclusive, will gain weight as a side effect.
P(24≤X≤28)=
P(23.5≤X≤28.5)
Convert to z-scores:

Answer:
5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Answers:
- y intercept: 9
- zeros: -3, -1, 1, 3
===============================================
Explanation:
The y intercept is where the curve crosses the y axis. The curve appears to do so just below y = 10, so y = 9 seems like a good estimate. I'm basing this off of the answer choices given. The y intercept always occurs when x = 0.
The zeros, aka roots or x intercepts, are where the curve crosses or touches the x axis. This occurs in four locations: x = -3, x = -1, x = 1 and x = 3. The x intercepts always occur when y = 0.
Picturing the tent helps, but we can actually solve this question using simple algebra and no knowledge of triangles.
The key is this function:
(b/h) = 2/√3
We want to get h by itself. First, multiply both sides by h:
b = h(2/√3) Now multiply both sides by the reciprical, (√3/2)
(√3/2) b = h
Therefore, the answer is C) h= b(√3/2)
