Suppose x is a normally distributed random variable with muμequals=1616 and sigmaσequals=22. Find each of the following probabilities. a. P(xgreater than or equals≥17.517.5) b. P(xless than or equals≤1212) c. P(16.7816.78 less than or equalsxless than or equals≤20.4620.46) d. P(11.4811.48less than or equals≤xless than or equals≤19.0619.06)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x is a normally distributed random variable, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = the random variable

µ = mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 16

σ = 2

a. P(x ≥ 17.5) = 1 - (x < 17.5)

For x < 17.5

z = (17.5 - 16)/2 = 0.75

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.77

P(x ≥ 17.5) = 1 - 0.77 = 0.23

b. P(x ≤ 12)

z = (12 - 16)/2 = - 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.023

P(x ≤ 12) = 0.023

c) P(16.78 ≤ x ≤ 20.46)

For x = 16.78,

z = (16.78 - 16)/2 = 0.39

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.65

For x = 20.46,

z = (20.46 - 16)/2 = 2.23

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.987

Therefore,

P(16.78 ≤ x ≤ 20.46) = 0.987 - 0.65 = 0.337

d) P(11.48 ≤ x ≤ 19.06)

For x = 11.48,

z = (11.48 - 16)/2 = - 2.26

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.012

For x = 19.06,

z = (19.06 - 16)/2 = 1.53

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.94

Therefore,

P(11.48 ≤ x ≤ 19.06) = 0.94 - 0.012 = 0.928

option 1

data plot with   3 dots over 33, 1 dot over 34, 2 dots over 35, no dot over 36, 1 dot over 37, 2 dots over 38, 4 dots over 39, and 2 dot over 40.

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
