Answer:

Using calculator: 0.0415

Using Z-score Table: 0.0418

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways you can solve this problem.

1. Use the normal distribution function on a calculator.

Entered values:

Lower Limit: 126

Upper Limit: 999999999999999... (To encompass all the data)

Standard Deviation: 15

Mean: 100

2. Find the Z score and look up probabilities on table.

Formula for Z score:

Z=\frac{x-mean}{standard deviation} \\\\Z= \frac{126-100}{15}=1.7333...

Z = 1.7333

This means that the value 126 is 1.733 standard deviations away from the mean. We can look this value up on the Z table to find its corresponding probability.

This will show us the probability of the random sampling being equal to or lower than 126.

P = 0.9582

So to find the probability of it being above, we simply just calculate the inverse as all probabilities on the curve = 1.

1-0.9582 = 0.0418

NOTE: Values found from the table will usually be a bit different from if you find it from a calculator, the one you need will depend on the method you use in class.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

(1)Base Area= 81 square yards.

(2)

  • 3 ft long and 16 ft wide
  • 6 ft long and 8 ft wide
  • 24 ft long and 2 ft wide

(3)Height=12 Units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Question 1</u>

Volume of the rectangular prism=2,592 cubic yards.

Height of the rectangular prism=32 yards

Volume of a rectangular prism =lbh (where lb is the Base Area)

Therefore:

lbh=2592

32lb=2592

lb=2592/32=81

Base Area= 81 square yards.

<u>Question 2</u>

Volume of the rectangular prism=432 cubic feet.

Height of the rectangular prism=9 feet

Volume of a rectangular prism =lbh (where lb is the Base Area)

Therefore:

lbh=432

9lb=432

lb=432/9=48

Base Area= 48 square yards.

Any dimension whose product is 48 is a possible choice.

They are:

  • 3 ft long and 16 ft wide
  • 6 ft long and 8 ft wide
  • 24 ft long and 2 ft wide

<u>Question 3</u>

<u />

Volume of the rectangular prism=960 cubic units.

Base Area of the rectangular prism, lb=80 Square Units

Volume of a rectangular prism =lbh (where lb is the Base Area)

Therefore:

lbh=960

80h=960

h=960/80=12

Height= 12 units.
