The weights of a certain dog breed are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 49 pounds, and a standard deviation of 6 pounds. Use your graphing calculator to answer the following questions. Write your answers in percent form. Required:
a. Find the percentage of dogs of this breed that weigh less than 53 pounds.
b. Find the percentage of dogs of this breed that weigh less than 49 pounds.
c. Find the percentage of dogs of this breed that weigh more than 49 pounds.

a. 74.86%

b. 50%

c. 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

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

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Normally distributed with a mean of 49 pounds, and a standard deviation of 6 pounds.

This means that

a. Find the percentage of dogs of this breed that weigh less than 53 pounds.

The proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 53. So

has a p-value of 0.7486.

0.7486*100% = 74.86%, which is percentage of dogs of this breed that weigh less than 53 pounds.

b. Find the percentage of dogs of this breed that weigh less than 49 pounds.

p-value of Z when X = 49, so:

has a p-value of 0.5

0.5 = 50% of dogs of this breed that weigh less than 49 pounds.

c. Find the percentage of dogs of this breed that weigh more than 49 pounds.

1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 49, so:

has a p-value of 0.5.

1 - 0.5 = 0.5 = 50% of dogs of this breed that weigh more than 49 pounds.

median is the value separating the higher half of a data sample, a population or probablity distribution from the lower half.

step-by-step explanation:

say you have 3,8,7,3,1,9,8 order them from lowest to highest

if orderd it would be 1,3,3,7,8,8,9 now you take away from the lowest and the highest until you end up in the middle.

so you would remove the 1 and 9 leaving you with 5 digits remaining

when you've reached the middle that would be your answer so in this case the answer is 7

if there were two numbers left say 7 and 5 you'd and them together so 12 then divide by 2 witch would equal 6 so the answer would be 6

good luck on that project hoped i you at all

-12 > a

step-by-step explanation:

-11 > 1 + a

subtract 1 from each side

-11-1 > 1-1+a

-12 > a
