(a) For any probability distribution, the total probability must be 1. That is, the area under the probability density curve must be equal to 1.

The empirical rule for normal distributions says

• approximately 68% of the distribution lies within 1 standard deviation of the mean

• approx. 95% lies within 2 s.d. of the mean

• approx. 99.7% lies within 3 s.d. of the mean

In this case, with mean 3500 and s.d. 470, this translates to

• Pr(3500 - 470 < X < 3500 + 470) = Pr(3030 < X < 3970) ≈ 0.68

• Pr(3500 - 2*470 < X < 3500 + 2*470) = Pr(2560 < X < 4440) ≈ 0.95

• Pr(3500 - 3*470 < X < 3500 + 3*470) = Pr(2090 < X < 4910) ≈ 0.997

Continuous probability distributions also have the property that

Pr(a < X < b) = Pr(a < X < c) + Pr(c < X < b)

if a < c < b.

Combining all these properties, we can find the probabilities for each of the 8 regions in the graph to be (from left to right)

• Pr(-∞ < X < 2090) ≈ (1 - 0.997)/2 ≈ 0.0015

• Pr(2090 < X < 2560) ≈ (1 - 0.95 - 2*0.0015)/2 ≈ 0.0235

• Pr(2560 < X < 3030) ≈ (1 - 0.68 - 2*0.0235 - 2*0.0015)/2 ≈ 0.135

• Pr(3030 < X < 3500) ≈ 0.68/2 ≈ 0.34

and since the distribution is symmetric about its mean, we already know the remaining probabilities,

• Pr(3500 < X < 3970) ≈ 0.34

• Pr(3970 < X < 4440) ≈ 0.135

• Pr(4440 < X< 4910) ≈ 0.0235

• Pr(4910 < X < ∞) ≈ 0.0015

(b) Per the rule, 99.7% of babies would weight between 2090 and 4910 grams.

(c) The proportion of babies weighing less than 3030 grams is the sum of the proportions of babies weighing less than 2090, between 2090 and 2560, and between 2560 and 3030 grams. So

Pr(X < 3030) = Pr(-∞ < X < 2090) + Pr(2090 < X < 2560) + P(2560 < X < 3030)

Pr(X < 3030) ≈ 0.0015 + 0.0235 + 0.135

Pr(X < 3030) ≈ 0.16 = 16%

(d) Similarly,

Pr(X > 2560) = Pr(2560 < X < 3030) + Pr(3030 < X < 3500) + … + Pr(4910 < X < ∞)

Pr(X > 2560) ≈ 0.135 + 0.34 + 0.34 + 0.135 + 0.0235 + 0.0015

Pr(X > 2560) ≈ 0.975 = 97.5%

At the park, 4/7 of the children are boys. if there are 8 boys at the park, how many are girls?
Oksana_A [137]
There are 4/7 boys, so there are 3/7 girls.

Let the total number of children be x.

4/7x = 8
1/7x = 8 ÷ 4
1/7x = 2
3/7x = 2 x 3
3/7x = 6

There are 6 girls.

Ten members of the academic team went to a local restaurant after their contest. Each meal combo that came with soda cost $6.75,
Aneli [31]

Answer:

7 ordered with Soda;

3 ordered with water

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

m \to With water

n \to With Soda

So:

m + n =10 --- total

5m + 6.75n = 62.25 -- cost

Required

Find m and n

m + n =10

Make m the subject

m = 10 - n

Substitute m = 10 - n in 5m + 6.75n = 62.25

5(10-n) +6.75n = 62.25

50-5n +6.75n = 62.25

Collect like terms

-5n +6.75n = 62.25 - 50

-5n +6.75n = 12.25

1.75n = 12.25

Solve for n

n = 12.25/1.75

n = 7

m = 10 - n

m = 10 - 7

m =3
