Answer:

 6 pears

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in the number of ratio units is 5-3 = 2. This corresponds to an original difference of 2+2 = 4, so each ratio unit represents 2 pieces of fruit.

The original ratio is ...

  6 pears : 10 apples

There were 6 pears in the basket.

The number of books borrowed from a library each week follows a normal distribution. When a sample is taken for several weeks, t
Marat540 [252]
\mathbb P(X>250)=\mathbb P\left(\dfrac{X-190}{30}>\dfrac{250-190}{30}\right)=\mathbb P(Z>2)\approx0.0228

Or, if you're familiar with the empirical rule and the basic properties of the normal distribution, you can use the fact that approximately 95/% of the distribution lies within two standard deviations of the mean, or

\mathbb P(|Z|

which means about 5\% of the distribution lies outside this interval, or

\mathbb P((-22))\approx0.05

Because the distribution is symmetric, you have

\mathbb P(-22)
\implies \mathbb P((-22))=\mathbb P(-22)=2\mathbb P(Z>2)\approx0.05
\implies \mathbb P(Z>2)\approx 0.025
