Answer:

The probability that X is between 1.48 and 15.56 is P(1.48 \leq X \leq 15.56) = 0.919

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

X is a normally distributed random variable with a mean of 8 and a standard deviation of 4.

This means that \mu = 8, \sigma = 4

The probability that X is between 1.48 and 15.56

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 15.56 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1.48. So

X = 15.56

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{15.56 - 8}{4}

Z = 1.89

Z = 1.89 has a pvalue of 0.9706

X = 1.48

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{1.48 - 8}{4}

Z = -1.63

Z = -1.63 has a pvalue of 0.0516

0.9706 - 0.0516 = 0.919

Write out the probability notation for this question.

P(1.48 \leq X \leq 15.56) = 0.919

The probability that X is between 1.48 and 15.56 is P(1.48 \leq X \leq 15.56) = 0.919

A student was asked to rewrite using only the associative property of multiplication. Which is the correct response?
tatiyna

Given that the associative property of multiplication says that you can group the numbers in any combination, we can reorganize the expression as: 7·(10·3)=210. So the answer would be the first option.
