X + y = 90
y = 90 - x

0.15 x + 0.75 y = 0.51 (90)

0.15 x + 0.75 (90-x) = 0.51 (90)
0.15x + 67.5 -0.75x = 45.9
21.6 = 0.6 x
x = 36 kg -- 15% Cu

y = 90 - x
y = 90 - 36
y = 54 kg -- 75% Cu

The mean of a normal probability distribution is 500 and the standard deviation is 10. about 95 percent of the observations lie
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

So about 95 percent of the observations lie between 480 and 520.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

The mean is 500 and the standard deviation is 10.

About 95 percent of the observations lie between what two values?

From the Empirical Rule, this is from 500 - 2*10 = 480 to 500 + 2*10 = 520.

So about 95 percent of the observations lie between 480 and 520.
