4. Noise pollution

Land pollution refers to the gradual disintegration of the earth surface.

Causes of land pollution

1. Deforestation: The continuous cutting down of trees in the forest.

2. Erosion: The gradual disintegration of soil caused by the action of water.

3. Harmful agricultural practices such as bush burning, introducing toxic substances such as pesticides into the soil

4. Increased industrial waste due to increase in the number of industries

5. Mining of natural resources from the earth surface

6. Construction of bridges, railways and roads

The heights of a certain population of corn plants follow a normal distribution with mean 145 cm and stan- dard deviation 22 cm

Firdavs [7]

Answer with explanation:

Given : The heights of a certain population of corn plants follow a normal distribution with mean $\mu=145\ cm$ and standard deviation $\sigma=22\ cm$

a) Using formula $z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$ , the z-value corresponds to x= 135 will be

$z=\dfrac{135-145}{22}\approx-0.45$

At x= 155, $z=\dfrac{155-145}{22}\approx0.45$

The probability that plants are between 135 and 155 cm tall :-

$P(-0.45$

Hence, 34.73% of the plants are between 135 and 155 cm tall.

b) Sample size : n= 16

Using formula $z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ , the z-value corresponds to x= 135 will be

$z=\dfrac{135-145}{22}{\sqrt{16}}\approx-1.82$

At x= 155, $z=\dfrac{155-145}{22}{\sqrt{16}}\approx1.82$

The probability that plants are between 135 and 155 cm tall :-

$P(-1.82$

Hence,The percentage of the samples would the sample mean height be between 135 and 155 cm.= 93.12%
