Answer:

The mean, μ is 2.5063 and

The standard deviation, σ = 2.0499 × 10⁻²

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have

z = \frac{x- \mu}{\sigma}

z \sigma ={x- \mu}{} and

10% have length < 2.48 in while

5% have length > 2.54 in

and

From the z score table

Critical z at 10% to the left = -1.282

Critical z at 5% to the right = 1.645

Therefore, the equations become

-1.282σ = 2.48 - μ → μ -1.282σ = 2.48

1.645σ = 2.54 - μ → μ + 1.645σ = 2.54

Solving the above equations gives

The mean, μ = 2.5063 and

The standard deviation, σ = 2.0499 × 10⁻².

The tape diagram represents an equation.​
Lena [83]

Answer:  w+1.3 = 2.7

Reason:

The smaller pieces (w and 1.3) combine to form the larger piece (2.7)

To find w, subtract 1.3 from both sides to get 1.4

1.4+1.3 = 2.7
