Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you should already be able to understand that the only number less than 2 on this cube is 1. So, you can understand that there is a 1/6 chance because there is a total of 6 numbers, and out of those, only 1 of those are your answer.

Then, you will note that a coin only has 2 sides, so there is a 50/50 chance of getting heads, or 50%. Now, you will turn that into a fraction, which is 1/2.

Next, you will multiply to make the denominators the same. And what you do to the denominator must happen to the numerator. (1/6 * 2--> 1/12 and 1/2 * 6 = 1/12)

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

$P(X$

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel:

$P(Z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the amount of ml of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(298,3)$
