The weight of oranges growing in an orchard is normally distributed with a mean weight of 7 oz. and a standard deviation of 1 oz. Using the empirical rule, what percentage of the oranges from the orchard weigh between 4 oz. and 10 oz.?

Step-by-step explanation:

Set this up under the "mound" curve with 7 in the dead center. One standard deviation to the right is 8, another one is 9, another one is 10. Do the same going to the left, but go down from 7 to 6 to 5 to 4. Between the 6 and the 8 you will find 68% of the weights; between the 5 and the 9 you will find 95 % of the weights; and between 4 and 10 you will find 99.7% of the weights.

The percentage of the oranges from the orchard weighing between 4 oz and 10 oz is 99.7%

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
