A plumber's daily earnings have a mean of $145 per day with a standard deviation of $16.50.
avanturin [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

The plumber's daily earnings have a mean of $145 per day with a standard deviation of

$16.50.

We want to find the probability that the plumber earns between $135 and

$175 on a given day, if the daily earnings follow a normal distribution.

That is we want to find P(135 <X<175).

Let us convert to z-scores using

z =  \frac{x -  \mu}{ \sigma}

This means that:

P(135  \: <  \: X  \: <  \: 175) = P( \frac{135 - 145}{16.5}  \: <  \:  z \:  <  \frac{175 - 145}{ 16.5} )

We simplify to get:

P(135  \: <  \: X  \: <  \: 175) = P(  - 0.61\: <  \:  z \:  <  1.82 )

From the standard n normal distribution table,

P(z<1.82)=0.9656

P(z<-0.61)=0.2709

To find the area between the two z-scores, we subtract to obtain:

P(-0.61<z<1.82)=0.9656-0.2709=0.6947

This means that:

P(135  \: <  \: X  \: <  \: 175) =0.69

The correct choice is C.

Answer:

N(AUC∩B') = 121

The number of students that like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups or Snickers, but not Twix is 121

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represent snickers, B represent Twix and C represent Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

Given;

N(A) = 150

N(B) = 204

N(C) = 206

N(A∩B) = 75

N(A∩C) = 100

N(B∩C) = 98

N(A∩B∩C) = 38

N(Total) = 500

How many students like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups or Snickers, but not Twix;

N(AUC∩B')

This can be derived by first finding;

N(AUC) = N(A) + N(C) - N(A∩C)

N(AUC) = 150+206-100 = 256

Also,

N(A∩B U B∩C) = N(A∩B) + N(B∩C) - N(A∩B∩C) = 75 + 98 - 38 = 135

N(AUC∩B') = N(AUC) - N(A∩B U B∩C) = 256-135 = 121

N(AUC∩B') = 121

The number of students that like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups or Snickers, but not Twix is 121

See attached venn diagram for clarity.

The number of students that like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups or Snickers, but not Twix is the shaded part
