Answer:

95.44% of the grasshoppers weigh between 86 grams and 94 grams.

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 of 90 grams and a standard deviation of 2 grams.

This means that \mu = 90, \sigma = 2

What percentage of the grasshoppers weigh between 86 grams and 94 grams?

The proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 94 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 86. So

X = 94

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

Z = \frac{94 - 90}{2}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a p-value of 0.9772.

X = 86

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

Z = \frac{86 - 90}{2}

Z = -2

Z = -2 has a p-value of 0.0228.

0.9772 - 0.0228 = 0.9544

0.9544*100% = 95.44%

95.44% of the grasshoppers weigh between 86 grams and 94 grams.

Answer:

4x=80 and 5x=100

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+5x=180

9x=180

1/9 (9x)=1/9 (180)

x=20

4(20)=80
