1) P(258.5-cm < M < 259-cm) = 8.71%.

2) P17 = 125.57cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Question 1:

Mean of 258.5-cm and a standard deviation of 2.3-cm, which means that $\mu = 258.5, \sigma = 2.3$

Find the probability that the average length of a randomly selected bundle of steel rods is between 258.5-cm and 259-cm.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 259 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 258.5.

X = 259

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{259 - 258.5}{2.3}$

Z = 0.22

Z = 0.22 has a pvalue of 0.5871

X = 258.5

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{258.5 - 258.5}{2.3}$

Z = 0

Z = 0 has a pvalue of 0.5

0.5871 - 0.5 = 0.0871

0.0871*100% = 8.71%. So

P(258.5-cm < M < 259-cm) = 8.71%.

Question 2:

Mean of 127.1-cm and a standard deviation of 1.6-cm, which means that $\mu = 127.1, \sigma = 1.6$

Find P17, which is the average length separating the smallest 17% bundles from the largest 83% bundles.

This is the 17th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.17. So X when Z = -0.954.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$-0.954 = \frac{X - 127.1}{1.6}$

X - 127.1 = -0.954*1.6

X = 125.57

P17 = 125.57cm

aloha~! my name is zalgo and i am here to you out on this amazing day. to answer your question, yes, nonzero numbers can have a greatest common factor and that would be 1. still don't get it? let me considering every number is divisible by 1 and hence every number has 1 as a factor of theirs. so, if 2 nonzero numbers didn't share any gcf (greatest common factor), they would still have a factor in common and that would be 1.

i hope that this ! : p

(by the way, do you mind marking me as brainliest? i'd greatly appreciate it! mahalo! x3)

38.6°

step-by-step explanation:

resultant is 10 pound

smaller force = 8 pound

angle formed = tan⁻¹( $\frac{smaller force}{resultant}$
