Suppose a normally distributed set of data with 4800 observations has a mean of 195 and a standard deviation of 12. Use the 68-9

5-99.7 Rule to determine the number of observations in the data set expected to be below a value of 231. Round your result to the nearest single observation.

Answer:

The number of observations in the data set expected to be below a value of 231 is of 4793.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 195

Standard deviation = 12

The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that 50% of the observations are above the mean and 50% are below.

Proportion of observations below 231:

231 = 195 + 3*12

So 231 is three standard deviations above the mean.

Of the 50% of observations below the mean, all are below 231.

Of the 50% of observations above the mean, 99.7% are between the mean of 195 and three standard deviations above the mean(231).

So, the proportion of observations below 231 is:

P = 0.5*1 + 0.5*0.997 = 0.9985

Out of 4800:

0.9985*4800 = 4793

The number of observations in the data set expected to be below a value of 231 is of 4793.

Line w is perpendicular to the line y = −x − 5 and passes through the point (−2, 4). What is the y-intercept of line w?
Aleksandr [31]

The slope of a line perpendicular to another is the negative reciprocal of the original.  The negative reciprocal of -1 is 1.  The equation will read:

y=x+b

To solve for the y-intercept (b), plug in the given values of x and y:

4=-2+b

<em>*Add 2 to both sides*</em>

Abdul is working on a project and has cut a number of wooden blocks of equal size that are represented by this right rectangular
Valentin [98]

The amount of fabric needed to cover 8 blocks is 192cm.

<h3>How much fabric is needed to cover 8 blocks?</h3>

In order to determine the amount of fabric needed, the total surface area of the rectangular prism has to be determined. The total surface area of the rectangular prism is the sum of the areas its faces.

Total surface area of a rectangular prism = 2 (lw + wh + lh)

where:

  • l = length
  • w = width
  • h = height

2 x [(4 x 1/2) + (1/2 x 2) + (4 x2)] = 24cm

Fabric needed fo 8 blocks = 24 x 8 = 192cm
