Tompkins Associates reports that the mean clear height for a Class A warehouse in the United States is 22 feet. Suppose clear he

ights are normally distributed and that the standard deviation is 4 feet. A Class A warehouse in the United States is randomly selected. (a) What is the probability that the clear height is greater than 16 feet? (b) What is the probability that the clear height is less than 14 feet? (c) What is the probability that the clear height is between 25 and 30 feet?

Given Information:

Mean clear height = μ = 22 feet

Standard deviation of clear height = σ = 4 feet

Required Information:

a) P(X > 16) = ?

b) P(X < 14) = ?

c) P(25 < X < 30) = ?

Answer:

a) P(X > 16) = 93.12%

b) P(X < 14) = 2.27%

c) P(25 < X < 30) = 20.39%

Step-by-step explanation:

What is Normal Distribution?

We are given a Normal Distribution, which is a continuous probability distribution and is symmetrical around the mean. The shape of this distribution is like a bell curve and most of the data is clustered around the mean. The area under this bell shaped curve represents the probability.  

a) We want to find out the probability that the clear height is greater than 16 feet.

P(X > 16) = 1 - P(X < 16)\\\\P(X > 16) = 1 - P(Z < \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} )\\\\P(X > 16) = 1 - P(Z < \frac{16 - 22}{4} )\\\\P(X > 16) = 1 - P(Z < \frac{-6}{4} )\\\\P(X > 16) = 1 - P(Z < -1.5)\\\\

The z-score corresponding to -1.5 is 0.0668

P(X > 16) = 1 - 0.0668\\\\P(X > 16) = 0.9312\\\\P(X > 16) = 93.12 \%

Therefore, the probability that the clear height is greater than 16 feet is 93.12%

b) We want to find out the probability that the clear height is less than 14 feet

P(X < 14) = P(Z < \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} )\\\\P(X < 14) = P(Z < \frac{14 - 22}{4} )\\\\P(X < 14) = P(Z < \frac{-8}{4} )\\\\P(X < 14) = P(Z < -2)\\\\

The z-score corresponding to -2 is 0.02275

P(X < 14) = 0.02275\\\\P(X < 14) = 2.27 \%

Therefore, the probability that the clear height is less than 14 feet is 2.27%

c) We want to find out the probability that the clear height is between 25 and 30 feet.  

P(25 < X < 30) = P( \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} < Z < \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} )\\\\P(25 < X < 30) = P( \frac{25 - 22}{4} < Z < \frac{30 - 22}{4} )\\\\P(25 < X < 30) = P( \frac{3}{4} < Z < \frac{8}{4} )\\\\P(25 < X < 30) = P( 0.75 < Z < 2 )\\\\

The z-score corresponding to 0.75 is 0.7734 and 2 is 0.9773

P(25 < X < 30) = P( Z < 2 ) - P( Z < 0.75 ) \\\\P(25 < X < 30) = 0.9773 - 0.7734 \\\\P(25 < X < 30) = 0.2039\\\\P(25 < X < 30) = 20.39 \%

Therefore, the probability that a child spends more than 4 hours and less than 8 hours per day unsupervised is 20.39%

How to use z-table?

Step 1:

In the z-table, find the two-digit number on the left side corresponding to your z-score. (e.g 1.5, 2.2, 0.5 etc.)

Step 2:

Then look up at the top of z-table to find the remaining decimal point in the range of 0.00 to 0.09. (e.g. if you are looking for 1.50 then go for 0.00 column)

Step 3:

Finally, find the corresponding probability from the z-table at the intersection of step 1 and step 2.

Find an equation in slope intercept form of the line that has a slope of -8 and passes through point A (1,5)
ollegr [7]

Answer:

8x+y-13=0

Step-by-step explanation:

let the given point be

A(1,5)=(x1,y1)

slope(m)= -8

then,equation of straight line is,

(y-y1)=m(x-x1)

(y-5)= -8(x-1)

y-5= -8x+8

8x+y-5-8=0

therefore,8x+y-13=0 ..........(i) is the required equation.

Genevieve wants to verify that negative x is the simplified expression of one-fifth (5 x minus 20) minus one-half (4 x minus 8).
mart [117]

Answer: -x

Apply Multiplicative Distribution Law:- 1/5 * 5x - 1/5 * 20 - 1/2 * 4x - 1/2 *(-8)

Determine the sign for multiplication or division: 1/5 * 5x - 1/5 * 20 - 1/2 * 4x + 1/2 * 8

Cross out the common factor: x - 1/5 * 20 - 1/2 * 4x + 1/2 * 8

Cross out the common factor: x - 4 - 1/2 * 4x + 1/2 * 8 - 4 - 2x + 1/2 * 8

Cross out the common factor: x - 4 - 2x + 1/2 * 8

Cross out the common factor:  x - 4 - 2x + 4

Reorder and gather like terms: (x - 2x) + (- 4 + 4)

Collect coefficients for the like terms: (1 - 2) * x + (- 4 + 4)

Calculate the sum or difference :  - x + (- 4 + 4)

The sum of two opposites equals 0: -x
