In Lake Erie, walleye fish are abundant. The lengths of walleyes follow a Normal distribution with a mean of 31 inches and a standard deviation of 3.6 inches. Based on this information, which of the following statements is true?a. Approximately 32% of walleyes have lengths less than 27.4 inches. b. Approximately 95% of walleyes have lengths greater than 23.8 inches. c. Approximately 16% of walleyes have lengths longer than 38.2 inches. d. Approximately 84% of walleyes have lengths less than 34.6 inches. d. Approximately 2.5% of walleyes have lengths between 31 inches and 34.6 inches.

d. Approximately 84% of walleyes have lengths less than 34.6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 31

Standard deviation = 3.6

a. Approximately 32% of walleyes have lengths less than 27.4 inches.

27.4 is one standard deviation below the mean.

By the Empirical Rule, 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean. Of the other 32% more than 1 standard deviation from the mean, 16% of the lengths are less than 27.4 and 16% are greather than 31+3.6 = 34.6.

So approximately 16% of walleyes have lengths less than 27.4 inches, which means that this statement is false.

b. Approximately 95% of walleyes have lengths greater than 23.8 inches.

23.8 is two standard deviations below the mean.

By the Empirical Rule, 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean. Of the 5% that is more than 2 standard deviations from the mean, 2.5% is greater than 2 standard deviations above the mean(greater than 38.2, in this problem), and 2.5% is lower than 2 standard deviations below the mean(lower than 23.8 in this problem).

So 2.5% of walleyes have lengths lower than 23.8 and 100-2.5 = 97.5% have lengths greater than 23.8, which means that this statement is false.

c. Approximately 16% of walleyes have lengths longer than 38.2 inches.

38.2 is two standard deviations above the mean.

By the Empirical Rule, 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean. Of the 5% that is more than 2 standard deviations from the mean, 2.5% is greater than 2 standard deviations above the mean(greater than 38.2, in this problem), and 2.5% is lower than 2 standard deviations below the mean(lower than 23.8 in this problem).

So 2.5% of walleyes have lengths longer than 38.2 inches, which means that this statement is false.

d. Approximately 84% of walleyes have lengths less than 34.6 inches.

34.6 is one standard deviation above the mean.

The empirical rule is symmetric, which means that 50% of the measures are above the mean and 50% of the meausures are below the mean.

Also, 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean. Of those, 34% are between one standard deviation below the mean and the mean, and 34% are between the mean and one standard deviation above the mean.

So, 50% below the mean, plus 34% between the mean and 34.6 means that approximately 84% of the walleyes have lengths less than 34.6 inches, which means that this statement is true.

e. Approximately 2.5% of walleyes have lengths between 31 inches and 34.6 inches.

31 is the mean

34.6 is one standard deviation above the mean.

By the Empirical Rule, 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean. Of those, 34% are between one standard deviation below the mean and the mean, and 34% are between the mean and one standard deviation above the mean.

So 34% of walleyes have lengths between 31 inches and 34.6 inches, which means that this statement is false.

ab will be equal to

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
