Answer:
0.347% of the total tires will be rejected as underweight.
Step-by-step explanation:
For a standard normal distribution, (with mean 0 and standard deviation 1), the lower and upper quartiles are located at -0.67448 and +0.67448 respectively. Thus the interquartile range (IQR) is 1.34896.
And the manager decides to reject a tire as underweight if it falls more than 1.5 interquartile ranges below the lower quartile of the specified shipment of tires.
1.5 of the Interquartile range = 1.5 × 1.34896 = 2.02344
1.5 of the interquartile range below the lower quartile = (lower quartile) - (1.5 of Interquartile range) = -0.67448 - 2.02344 = -2.69792
The proportion of tires that will fall 1.5 of the interquartile range below the lower quartile = P(x < -2.69792) ≈ P(x < -2.70)
Using data from the normal distribution table
P(x < -2.70) = 0.00347 = 0.347% of the total tires will be rejected as underweight

Answer:
x = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply by 3 and solve the resulting 2-step equation.
5 = (1/3)(2x +12)
15 = 2x +12 . . . . . . multiply by 3
3 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12
3/2 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
Take half of the coefficient of x (which is 2/5) and square it:
[ (1/2)(2/5) ]^2 = (1/5)^2 = 1/25, or 0.04
Thus, to rewrite x^2 + (2/5)x to include a perfect square trinomial,
x^2 + (2/5)x = x^2 + (2/5)x + (1/5)^2 - (1/5)^2, or
(x+1/5)^2 - (1/5)^2, or (x + 1/5)^2 - 1/25
