The answer to your question is 35,568
Let <em>X</em> be the random variable representing the amount (in grams) of nicotine contained in a randomly chosen cigarette.
P(<em>X</em> ≤ 0.37) = P((<em>X</em> - 0.954)/0.292 ≤ (0.37 - 0.954)/0.292) = P(<em>Z</em> ≤ -2)
where <em>Z</em> follows the standard normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1. (We just transform <em>X</em> to <em>Z</em> using the rule <em>Z</em> = (<em>X</em> - mean(<em>X</em>))/sd(<em>X</em>).)
Given the required precision for this probability, you should consult a calculator or appropriate <em>z</em>-score table. You would find that
P(<em>Z</em> ≤ -2) ≈ 0.0228
You can also estimate this probabilty using the empirical or 68-95-99.7 rule, which says that approximately 95% of any normal distribution lies within 2 standard deviations of the mean. This is to say,
P(-2 ≤ <em>Z</em> ≤ 2) ≈ 0.95
which means
P(<em>Z</em> ≤ -2 or <em>Z</em> ≥ 2) ≈ 1 - 0.95 = 0.05
The normal distribution is symmetric, so this means
P(<em>Z</em> ≤ -2) ≈ 1/2 × 0.05 = 0.025
which is indeed pretty close to what we found earlier.
Answer:
5.13m^2
Explanation:
A = 1/2bh
A = 1/2(3.8)(2.7)
A = 5.13m^2
The fraction 36/180 can be recuced to 1/5 because 36 divided by 36 is 1 and 180 divided by 36 is 5 hope it helped :)
Take half of the coefficient of x: It is 3, and half that is 3/2.
Then <span>x^2+3x=6 becomes:
</span><span> x^2+3x + (3/2)^2 =6 + (3/2)^2, and
(x+3/2)^2 = 6 + 9/4
You were not asked to solve the equation, but why not do it for the practice?
</span>Solve (x+3/2)^2 = 6 + 9/4 for x. There will be 2 values.
