Answer:
0.7233
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the area between the z-scores z=-0.95 and z=1.25.
We first find the area to the left of each z-score, and subtract the smaller area from the bigger one.
For the area to the left of z=-0.95, we read -0.9 under 5 from the standard normal distribution table.
This gives P(z<-0.95)=0.1711
Similarly the area to the left of z=1.25 is
P(z<1.25)=0.8944
Now the area between the two z-scores is
P(-0.25<z<1.25)=0.8944-0.1711=0.7233
There are 8 equal parts. Each part is 1/8 of the whole 8/8
Using a calculator or a pencil, find each square root, including
three (3) decimal places. A negative number has no real square
roots, so skip '-71' and '-19'.
For each square root . . .
-- If the digits in the 2nd and 3rd decimal place are 00 through 24, then
make the 2nd decimal place a '0' and discard the rest.
-- If the digits in the 2nd and 3rd decimal place are 25 through 74, then
make the 2nd decimal place a '5' and discard the rest.
-- If the digits in the 2nd and 3rd decimal place are 75 through 99, then
increase the 1st decimal place by 1, make the 2nd decimal place a '0',
and discard the rest.
The probability of choosing a red marble is 18/47.
