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

da freeck kinda math is this just drop out

step-by-step explanation:

(2x + 16) + (x) = 180

step-by-step explanation:

given,

abcd is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle

angle a is labeled x plus 16, (x + 16)

angle b is labeled x degrees, (x)

angle c is labeled 6x minus 4, (6x – 4)

angle d is labeled 2x plus 16, (2x + 16)

what equation can be used to solve for angle b?

we know that the sum of the opposite angles of a simple quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is 180 degrees.

angle b is opposite angle d

therefore, angle b + angle d = 180

(x) + (2x + 16) = 180 

same as (2x + 16) + (x) = 180
