Answer:

The  proportions of the diameters that are greater than 25.4 millimeters is 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

mean of the normal distribution, m = 25.1 millimeters

standard deviation, d = 0.08 millimeter

1 standard deviation above the mean = m + d = 25.1 + 0.08 = 25.18

2 standard deviation above mean =  m + 2d = 25.1 + 2(0.08) = 25.26

3 standard deviation above the mean = m + 3d = 25.1 + 3(0.08) = 25.34

4 standard deviation above the mean = m + 4d = 25.1 + 4(0.08) = 25.42

To obtain a diameter greater than 25.4, we select data after 4 standard deviation above the mean.

Data within 4 standard deviation above the mean is 95%

Data outside 4 standard deviation above the mean is 5%

Therefore, the  proportions of the diameters that are greater than 25.4 millimeters is 5%.

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

z = \frac{83-76}{8}=0.875

z = \frac{79-65}{12}=1.167

As we can see the z score for Ferdinad is higher than the z score for Emilia so on this case we can conclude that Ferdinand was better compared with his group of reference.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Emilia case

Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a test, and we know that

Where \mu=76 and \sigma=8

The z score formula is given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Since Emilia made 83 points we can find the z score like this:

z = \frac{83-76}{8}=0.875

Ferdinand case

Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a test, and we know that

Where \mu=65 and \sigma=12

The z score formula is given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Since Ferdinand made 79 points we can find the z score like this:

z = \frac{79-65}{12}=1.167

As we can see the z score for Ferdinad is higher than the z score for Emilia so on this case we can conclude that Ferdinand was better compared with his group of reference.

densk [106]

s = number of standard downloads

2s = number of high-quality downloads

2.8s + 4.6(2s) = 2760

2.8s + 9.2s = 2760

12s = 2760

s = 230

The standard version was downloaded 230 times and the high-quality version was downloaded 460 times.
