DON'T GOT MUCH TIME PLEASEEE HELP ME OUT! BEINLIEST The diameters of Breaburn apples are normally distributed with a mean of 8.2cm and a standard deviation of 2.8cm. If you had a shipment of 2000 apples, how many apples would have a diameter: a) smaller than 5.9cm? b) larger than 10.2cm?

a. 412

b. 478

Step-by-step explanation:

We must calculate the value of z from the following:

z = (x - m) / sd

where x is the value to evaluate, m is the mean that is equal to 8.2 cm and sd is the standard deviation that is equal to 2.8 cm.

a. x <5.9

p (z <(x - m) / sd)

z = (x - m) / sd

z = (5.9 - 8.2) /2.8

z = -0.82

p (z <-0.82)

In the normal table (attached) corresponds to 0.2061, to know the number of apples we must multiply this value by the total value of apples, that is 2000. Therefore:

2000 * 0.2061 = 412.2 = 412

b) x> 10.2

p (z <(x - m) / sd)

z = (x - m) / sd

z = (10.2 - 8.2) /2.8

z = 0.71

p (z> -0.71) = 1 - p (z <-0.71)

p (z> -0.71) = 1 - 0.7611 = 0.2389

Therefore the number of apples would be:

2000 * 0.2389 = 477.8 = 478

a.   we have two

lines:   y = 4-x   and  

y = 8-x^-1

given two simultaneous equations that are both to be

true, then the solution is the points where the lines cross. the intersection is

where the two equations are equal. therefore the solution that works for both

equations is when

4-x = 8-x^-1

this is where the two lines will cross and that is the

common point that satisfies both equations.

b.   4-x = 8-x^-1

  x           4-x       8-x^-1

-3           7        

8.33

-2           6         8.5

-1           5         9

  0           4

  1           3

  2           2        

7.5

  3           1         7.67

the table shows that none of the x values from -3 to 3 is

the solution because in no case does

4-x = 8-x^-1

to find the solution we need to rearrange the equation to

find for x:

4-x = 8-x^-1

multiply both sides with x:

4x-x^2 = 8x-1

x^2+4x-1=0

x= -4.236, 0.236

therefore there are two points that satisfies the

equation.

find y:  

x=-4.236

y = 4-x   = 4 – (-4.236)

= 8.236

y = 8-x^-1 =   .236)^-1

= 8.236

x=0.236

  y = 4-x   = 4 – (0.236) = 3.764

y = 8-x^-1 =   8-(0.236)^-1

= 3.764

thus the two lines cross at 2 points:

(-4.236, 8.236) & (0.236, 3.764)

c.   to solve

graphically the equation 4-x = 8-x^-1

we would graph both lines: y = 4-x   and   y

= 8-x^-1

the point on the graph where the lines cross is the

solution to the system of equations.

just graph the points on part b on a cartesian coordinate

system and extend the two lines.   the

solution is, as stated, the point where the two lines cross on the graph.
