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
Let X the random variable that represent the outside diameters of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where and
If we want the middle 68% of the data we need to have on the tails 16% on each one
For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:
(a)
(b)
Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.
As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.16 of the area on the left and 0.84 of the area on the right it's z=-0.994. On this case P(Z<-0.994)=0.16 and P(z>-0.994)=0.84
If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:
But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:
And if we solve for a we got
And since the distribution is symmetrical for the upper limit we can use z = 0.994 and we have:
And if we solve for a we got
So the correct answer for this case would be:
A. 13.9 and 14.1 inches
Hi! Your answer is q = -9
Please see an explanation for a better and clear understanding to your problem.
Any questions about my answer and explanation can be asked through comments! :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we want to solve for q-term. That means we are going to isolate q-term.
We can add 4 and 9 together.
Because we want to know the value of q. That means we have to isolate q-term by subtracting both sides by 13.
We are reaching to the final step where we divide the whole equation by 3.
Finally, the solution for this equation is q = -9. But what if you are not certain or sure about the answer? Let's check it out!
To check the answer, simply substitute q = -9 in the equation.
Notice that the equation is true for q = -9. Hence, we can conclude that the solution for this equation is q = -9.
Hope this helps!
