Falling at the rate of 2.5 m/s for 45 seconds, the anchor fell

                                     (2.5 m/s) x (45 s)  =  112.5 meters .

If it wound up only 40 meters underwater, then it must have fallen

                                      (112.5 m  -  40 m)  =  72.5 meters

from its storage position on the big cruise ship, 
before it ever reached the water.

Since it was falling at the rate of  2.5 m/s, it took

                                     (72.5 m) / (2.5 m/s)  =  29 seconds

to get down to the water surface after it started dropping.

Assume that the weights of quarters are normally distributed with a mean of 5.67 g and a standard deviation of 0.07 g. If a vend
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

0.98046

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • μ = 5.67
  • σ = 0.07

Here we are required to find

P(5.48 <X<5.82) and between 5.48 and 5.82 we each z-score given by

<em>z = (x - μ) / σ</em>

So 5.48 we have z = -2.714  and 5.82 we have  z = 2.143

Therefore we have the area of interest on the normal distribution chart given by :

P( -2,714 < z < 2.143)

= 1 - P(Z<-2.714) + P(Z >  2.143)

= 1 - P(Z<-2.714) + (1 - P(Z <  2.143))

= 1 - 0.00336 + 1 - 0.98382

= 1 - 0.01954 = 0.98046
