Answer:

There is a 24.51% probability that he weight of a bag will be greater than the maximum allowable weight of 50 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by

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

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. The sum of the probabilities is decimal 1. So 1-pvalue is the probability that the value of the measure is larger than X.

In this problem

Suppose that the weights of airline passenger bags are normally distributed with a mean of 47.88 pounds and a standard deviation of 3.09 pounds, so \mu = 47.88, \sigma = 3.09

What is the probability that the weight of a bag will be greater than the maximum allowable weight of 50 pounds?

That is P(X > 50)

So

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

Z = \frac{50 - 47.88}{3.09}

Z = 0.69

Z = 0.69 has a pvalue of 0.7549.

This means that P(X \leq 50) = 0.7549.

We also have that

P(X \leq 50) + P(X > 50) = 1

P(X > 50) = 1 - 0.7549 = 0.2451

There is a 24.51% probability that he weight of a bag will be greater than the maximum allowable weight of 50 pounds.

The first quartile can best be described as ______________________.
Zolol [24]

Answer:

A. the median of the lower half of a data set ordered from least to greatest

Step-by-step explanation:

The first quartile can best described as  the median of the lower half of a data set ordered from least to greatest.

Let us explain this with an example, say you're given a set of numbers: {1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 12, 15, 16, 20, 23, 25, 28, 32, 36, 42}. The median for the set is 16, the first quartile is going to be the median of the first half which is 8.
