Use the normal distribution of fish lengths for which the mean is 11 inches and the standard deviation is 2 inches. assume the v
Kaylis [27]

To solve this problem, we make use of the z statistic. What we have to do here is to find for the z score using the given data and from the standard probability tables for z, we locate the proportion of the fish longer than 12 inches.

 

The formula for calculating the z score is:

z = (x – μ) / σ

where,

x = the sample value = 12 inches

μ = the sample mean = 11 inches

σ = 2 inches

 

so,

z = (12 – 11) / 2

z = 1 / 2

z = 0.5

 

Since we are looking for the values greater than 12, so this is a right tailed test. Using the tables, the value of p at this value of z is:

p (z = 0.5) = 0.3085

 

Therefore there is a 30.85% probability that the fish is longer than 12 inches.

% of 6,000 = 4,500<br> Please help
babymother [125]

Answer:

450

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution for What is 75 percent of 600:

75 percent * 600 =

(75:100)* 600 =

(75* 600):100 =

45000:100 = 450

Now we have: 75 percent of 600 = 450

Question: What is 75 percent of 600?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: Our output value is 600.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with $x$x​.

Step 3: From step 1 above,$600=100\%$600=100%​.

Step 4: Similarly, $x=75\%$x=75%​.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

$600=100\%(1)$600=100%(1)​.

$x=75\%(2)$x=75%(2)​.

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

600

x​=

100%

75%​​

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

x

600​=

75

100​

Therefore, $75\%$75%​ of $600$600​ is $450$

Y = 3 <br><br><br> X intercept : ________<br> Y intercept : ________<br> Slope: ________
erik [133]
Y = 3 will be a straight, horizontal line on 3. It will only touch the y-axis since there's no x. So, the X-Intercept doesn't exist, the Y-Intercept will be (0,3), and the slope of the line is 0.
