Complete Question
A set of magical wand prices are normally distributed with a mean of 50 dollars and a standard deviation of 4 dollars. A blackthorn wand has a price of 45.20. What proportion of wand prices are lower than the price of the blackthorn wand? You may round your answer to four decimal places
Answer:
0.1151
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve using z score formula
z = (x-μ)/σ, where
x is the raw score = $45.20
μ is the population mean = $50
σ is the population standard deviation = $4
We are solving for x < 45.20
Hence:
z = 45.20 - 50/4
z = -1.2
Probability value from Z-Table:
P(x<45.20) = 0.11507
Approximately to 4 decimal places = 0.1151
Therefore, the proportion of wand prices that are lower than the price of the blackthorn wand is 0.1151
Remark
It is not a straight line distance from the park to the mall. None of the answers give you that result. And if you know what displacement is, none of the answers are really displacement either. The distance is sort of a "as the crow flies." distance. There's a stop off in the middle of town.
Method
You need to use the Pythagorean Formula twice -- once from the park to the city Center and once from the city center to the mall.
Distance from the Park to the city center.
a = 3 [distance east]
b = 4 [distance south]
c = ??
c^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 Take the square root of both sides.
c = sqrt(3^2 + 4^2)
c = sqrt(9 + 16) Add
c = sqrt(25)
c = 5
So the distance from the park to the city center is 5 miles
Distance from City center to the mall
a = 2 miles [distance east]
b = 2 miles [distance north]
c = ??
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 Substitute
c^2 = 2^2 + 2^2 Expand this.
c^2 = 4 + 4
c^2 = 8 Take the square root of both sides.
sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(8)
c = sqrt(8) This is the result
c = 2.8
Answer
Total distance = 5 + 2.8 = 7.8
