Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.125 = 12.5% probability of observing exactly 3 tails.
<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>The formula is:
The parameters are:
- x is the number of successes.
- n is the number of trials.
- p is the probability of a success on a single trial.
In this problem, considering 3 tosses of a fair coin, the parameters are n = 3 and p = 0.5.
The probability of 3 tails is P(X = 3), hence:
0.125 = 12.5% probability of observing exactly 3 tails.

Using the normal distribution, it is found that:
1. His z-score was of Z = -1.88.
2. There is a 0.0301 = 3.01% probability that a randomly selected person has a smaller E/A ratio than the patient in question 1.
3. Z-score of z = 1.85, there is a 0.0322 = 3.22% probability that a randomly selected patient has a higher E/A ratio.
4. Due to the higher absolute value of the z-score, the first patient had a more extraordinary result.
<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>In a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation
, the z-score of a measure X is given by:
- It 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, which is the percentile of X.
In this problem:
- The mean is of
.
- The standard deviation is of
.
Item 1:
Considering his ratio, we have that X = 0.73, hence:
His z-score was of Z = -1.88.
Item 2:
The probability is the <u>p-value of Z = -1.88</u>, hence, there is a 0.0301 = 3.01% probability that a randomly selected person has a smaller E/A ratio than the patient in question 1.
Item 3:
Score of X = 1.96, hence:
The probability is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z = 1.85, hence, 1 - 0.9678 = 0.0322 = 3.22% probability that a randomly selected patient has a higher E/A ratio.
Item 4:
Due to the higher absolute value of the z-score, the first patient had a more extraordinary result.

<h3>Answer: 73</h3>
==================================================
Work Shown:
Check out the diagram below. Note the pair of alternate interior angles that are congruent (each 37 degrees). Then focus on triangle ABC. With the reference angle being at A, this means we use the tangent function because BC = x is the opposite side and AB = 97 is the adjacent side.
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(A) = BC/AB
tan(37) = x/97
97*tan(37) = x
x = 97*tan(37)
x = 73.094742859971
For the last step, you'll need a calculator that can handle trig functions. Make sure the calculator is in degree mode. The result here is approximate. This rounds to 73 when rounding to the nearest whole number.
