Let <em>X</em> be the random variable representing the amount (in grams) of nicotine contained in a randomly chosen cigarette.
P(<em>X</em> ≤ 0.37) = P((<em>X</em> - 0.954)/0.292 ≤ (0.37 - 0.954)/0.292) = P(<em>Z</em> ≤ -2)
where <em>Z</em> follows the standard normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1. (We just transform <em>X</em> to <em>Z</em> using the rule <em>Z</em> = (<em>X</em> - mean(<em>X</em>))/sd(<em>X</em>).)
Given the required precision for this probability, you should consult a calculator or appropriate <em>z</em>-score table. You would find that
P(<em>Z</em> ≤ -2) ≈ 0.0228
You can also estimate this probabilty using the empirical or 68-95-99.7 rule, which says that approximately 95% of any normal distribution lies within 2 standard deviations of the mean. This is to say,
P(-2 ≤ <em>Z</em> ≤ 2) ≈ 0.95
which means
P(<em>Z</em> ≤ -2 or <em>Z</em> ≥ 2) ≈ 1 - 0.95 = 0.05
The normal distribution is symmetric, so this means
P(<em>Z</em> ≤ -2) ≈ 1/2 × 0.05 = 0.025
which is indeed pretty close to what we found earlier.
Answer :Answer: Did you get helped on this one?
Step-by-step explanation: okay yup yup have a good day OKAY
Step-by-step explanation: HAVE A GOOD ONE OKAY
Since there is an addition symbol in the middle all you need to do is combine like terms/add. Your final answer should be:
p= 5s+5
9/100 is less because if we multiply 7/10 by 10 (to get an equivalent fraction with a denominator the same as the other fraction [100]) we get 70/100, which is way more than 9/100.
So, 7/10 is greater than 9/100
Hope this helps!
