The standard normal curve shown below models the population distribution of a random variable. What proportion of the values in
1 answer:
Answer:
31.28%
Step-by-step explanation:
The z score is used in statistics to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. If the raw score is above the mean then the z score is positive while if the raw score is below the mean then the z score is negative. It is given by:
Given the z score z = -1.2 z = 0.85. From the normally distribution table, the probability that a value falls between z = -1.2 and z = 0.85 = P(z < 0.85) - P(z < -1.2) = 0.8023 - 0.1151 = 0.6872
The proportion of values that do not fall between z = -1.2 and z = 0.85 = 1 - 0.6872 = 0.3128 = 31.28%

The function f(x) = 4(4)x represents the growth of a fly population every year in a remote swamp.
calculates three times a year, not just once a year.
3 times a year
so x becomes 3x
Take log on both sides
Use log property and move exponent before log
Divide both sides by x
log 4 = 3 log(1+r)
Solve for '1+r'
log 4 = log(1+r)^3
Remove log from both sides
4 = (1+r)^3
take cube root on both sides
1.584740= 1+r
1+r = 1.59
so equation becomes
1+r = 1.59
subtract 1 from both sides
So r= 59 = 59%
So growth factor is 59%
