Answer:

The Probability = 0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Empirical rule formula states that:

68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ.

95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ.

99.7% of data falls within 3 standard deviations from the mean - between μ - 3σ and μ + 3σ.

Average = 13.1 years

Standard deviation = 1.5 years

x = 14.6 years

= 14.6 -13.1/1.5

= 1

This falls within 1 standard deviations of the mean

68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ.

Hence:

100 - 68%/2 = 32/2 = 16%

Converting to probability = 0.16

The probability of a meerkat living longer than 14.6 years is 0.16

Carlos wants to put 720 of his blocks in his toy box. A small set has 10 blocks and a large set has 100 blocks. How can you writ
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Carlos can put the blocks in this three ways:

(i) 32 large blocks and 4 small blocks.

(ii) 22 large blocks and 5 small blocks.

(iii) 12 large blocks and 6 small blocks.

The total quantity of blocks equals the number of blocks stored in the sets of blocks. Based on the information given, we derive the following algebraic expression:

10\cdot m + 100\cdot n = 720, \forall\,m,n\in \mathbb{N_{O}} (1)

Where:

  • m - Quantity of small blocks.
  • n - Quantity of large blocks.

Now we can clear n in terms of m:

100\cdot n = 720 -10\cdot m

n = 7.2-0.1\cdot m (2)

From (2) we get the following combination of sets:

1) m = 12, n= 6

2) m = 22, n = 5

3) m = 32, n = 4

Carlos can put the blocks in this three ways:

(i) 32 large blocks and 4 small blocks.

(ii) 22 large blocks and 5 small blocks.

(iii) 12 large blocks and 6 small blocks.
