The ages of subscribers to a certain newspaper are normally distributed with mean 35 years and standard deviation 5. What is the probability that the age of a random subscriber is more than 40 years?

0.1587

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

P(μ>40) = P(μ-(x-μ)/σ) Equation 1

Where P(μ>40) =  probability of the age of the random subscriber more than 40 years   μ = mean, σ = standard deviation, x = random subscriber

From the question,

Given: μ = 35 years, σ = 5 years, x = 40 years.

Therefore,

P(μ>40) = P(35-(40-35)/5) = P(35-(5/5)

P(μ>40) = 1-φ(1)

From the norminal probabilty table,

P(μ>40) = 1-0.8413

P(μ>40) = 0.1587

the slope of the line is 60

one point on the line is (40,10)

step-by-step explanation:

in the equation outside the parenthesis the equation always tells you the slope. in this case it is 60.

in the parenthesis is also says 40 which is x because it is near the x and 10 is y because it is near y.
