The length of time before a seed germinates when falling on fertile soil is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 600 hours and a standard deviation of 100 hours. What is the probability that a seed will take more than 720 hours before germinating? Round to two decimal places.
a. 0.16
b. 0.12
c. 0.88
d. 0.997

b. 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

What is the probability that a seed will take more than 720 hours before germinating?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 720. So

has a pvalue of 0.88.

1 - 0.88 = 0.12

So the correct answer is:

b. 0.12

the answer is thin because within context, the stanza concludes the and frail tone the people have toward each other, and the fact that it would be thin, makes the most sense compared to "pliable" or "not hard or firm to the touch". hope this , good luck.
