Given that X is N(68,3.5)

We convert this to standard normal score z using

z=\frac{x-68}{3.5}

a)  proportion of the plan recipients that would receive payments beyond age 75=P(X\geq 75) = P(Z\geq 2)\\= 0.025

b) proportion of the plan recipients die before they reach the standard retirement age of 65=P(X\leq 65) = P(z\leq -0.86)\\=0.5-0.2764\\=0.2236

Lia has a red ribbon that is 2 1/12 inches long she has a blue ribbon that is 4 time as many inches as long how many inches long
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

8 1/3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the ribbon = 2 1/12 inches

Blue ribbon is 4 time as many inches as long as red

Length of the blue ribbon = 4 * 2 1/12

Length of the blue ribbon = 4 * 25/12

Length of the blue ribbon = 100/12

Length of the blue ribbon= 25/3

Length of the blue ribbon = 8 1/3 inches

Hence the blue ribbon is 8 1/3 inches long
