Answer:

  62.5 oz of 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the number of ounces of pure syrup. Then (100-p) is the number of ounces of 60% syrup. The amount of maple syrup in the desired mix is ...

  p +0.60(100 -p) = 0.85(100)

  0.40p +60 = 85 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  0.40p = 25 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 60

  p = 62.5 . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.4

62.5 ounces of pure syrup should be mixed with the diluted syrup to make 100 ounces of 85% maple syrup.

_____

The other 37.5 ounces will be 60% syrup.

For some postive value of Z, the probability that a standardized normal variable is between 0 and Z is 0.3770. The value of Z is
Talja [164]

Answer:

1.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

For some positive value of Z, the probability that a standardized normal variable is between 0 and Z is 0.3770.

This implies that:

P(0<Z<z) = 0.3770

P(Z < z)-P(Z < 0) = 0.3770

P(Z < z) = 0.3770 + P(Z < 0)

From the standard normal tables , P(Z < 0)  =0.5

P(Z < z) = 0.3770 + 0.5

P(Z < z) =  0.877

SO to determine the value of z for which it is equal to 0.877, we look at the

table of standard normal distribution and locate the probability value of 0.8770. we advance to the  left until the first column is reached, we see that the value was 1.1.  similarly, we did the same in the  upward direction until the top row is reached, the value was 0.06.  The intersection of the row and column values gives the area to the two tail of z.   (i.e 1.1 + 0.06 =1.16)

therefore, P(Z ≤ 1.16 ) = 0.877
