Answer:

1. The probability that x will be more than 25 is 0.6305.

2. The 55th percentile is 26.38.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean 26 and standard deviation 3.

This means that $\mu = 26, \sigma = 3$

1 Find the probability that x will be more than 25.

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 25. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{25 - 26}{3}$

$Z = -0.333$

$Z = -0.333$ has a p-value of 0.3695.

1 - 0.3695 = 0.6305.

The probability that x will be more than 25 is 0.6305.

2 Find the 55th percentile of x.

This is X when Z has a p-value of 0.55, so X when Z = 0.125.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$0.125 = \frac{X - 26}{3}$

$X - 26 = 0.125*3$

$Z = 26.38$

The 55th percentile is 26.38.

The distance between two points knowing theirs coordinates:

AB =√[(x₂-x₁)² +(y₂-y₁)²]; ===>A(5,-4) & B(-3,-1) Given
A(x₁,y₁) & B(x₂,y₂)

AB =√[(-3-5))²+(-1-(-4)²] =√(73) = 8.381 ≈ 5.44 units

The answer is 7.75. Since there can not be 7.75 days, you can round that to 8 and say that it's almost 8 days. Hope this helps!
