Porphyrin is a pigment in blood protoplasm and other body fluids that is significant in body energy and storage. Let x be a random variable that represents the number of milligrams of porphyrin per deciliter of blood. In healthy circles, x is approximately normally distributed with mean μ = 40 and standard deviation σ = 14. Find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)a) x is less than 60 b) x is greater than 16 c) x is between 16 and 60 d) x is more than 602)Thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 4.5 millimeters (mm) and a standard deviation of 1.0 mm. For a randomly found shard, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)a) the thickness is less than 3.0 mm b) the thickness is more than 7.0 mm c) the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm.

Question 1:

(a) P(x<60) = 0.9236

(b) P(x>16) = 0.9564

(c) P(16<x<60) = 0.88

(d) P (x>60) = 0.0764

Question 2:

(a) P(x<3) = 0.0668

(b) P(x>7) = 0.0062

(c) P(3<x<7) = 0.927

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

x = no. of mg of porphyrin per deciliter of blood.

μ = 40

σ = 14

(a) We need to compute P(x<60). We need to find the z-score using the normal distribution formula:

z = (x - μ)/σ

P(x<60) = P((x - μ)/σ < (60 - 40)/14)

             = P(z < 20/14)

             = P(z<1.43)

Using the normal distribution probability table we can find the value of p at z=1.43.

P(z<1.43) = 0.9236

so, P(x<60) = 0.9236

(b) P(x>16) = P(z>(16-40)/14)

                 = P(z>-1.71)

                 = 1 - P(z<-1.71)

                 = 1 - 0.0436

    P(x>16) = 0.9564

(c) P(16<x<60) = P((16-40)/14) < x < (60-40)/14)

                        = P(-1.71 < z < 1.43)

This probability can be calculated as: P(z<1.43) - P(z<-1.71)

                                         P(16<x<60) = 0.9236 - 0.0436

                                         P(16<x<60) = 0.88

(d) P(x>60) = 1 - P(x<60)

     we have calculated P(x<60) in part (a) so,

    P(x>60) = 1 - 0.9236

    P (x>60) = 0.0764

Question 2:                              

μ = 4.5 mm

σ = 1.0 mm

In this question, we will again compute the z-scores and then find the probability from the normal distribution table.

(a) P(x<3) = P(z<(3-4.5)/1)

                = P(z<-1.5)

     P(x<3) = 0.0668

(b) P(x>7) = 1 - P(x<7)

               = 1 - P(z<(7-4.5)/1)

               = 1 - P(z<2.5)

               = 1 - 0.9938

    P(x>7) = 0.0062

(c) P(3<x<7) = P(x<7) - P(x<3)

  we have computed both of these probabilities in parts (a) and (b) so,

    P(3<x<7) = 0.9938 - 0.0668

    P(3<x<7) = 0.927

definition: a circle is the  set of all points in a plane that are equidistant  from a given  point  called the center of the circle. we use the symbol ⊙ to represent a circle. the a line segment from the center of the circle to  any point  on the circle is a radius of the circle.

step-by-step explanation:

i googled it and this is what i got i don't know how it is. sorry.

part a

answer: a reasonable domain is where n is a real number. so n can be between 0 and 10. both endpoints are included.

work shown:

n is the number of days after the experiment starts. the smallest n can be is n = 0 which means that 0 days have gone by, and we're at the start. to find out how large n should be, then replace f(n) with 16.13 and solve for n. use logarithms to isolate the exponent.

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

16.13 = 12*(1.03)^n

16.13/12 = (1.03)^n

1.34416666666667 = (1.03)^n

(1.03)^n = 1.34416666666667

log[ (1.03)^n ] = log[ 1.34416666666667 ]

n*log[ 1.03 ] = log[ 1.34416666666667 ]

n = log[ 1.34416666666667 ]/log[ 1.03 ]

n = 10.0062999823929

this rounds to n = 10 which is fairly close but not 100% perfect. so this is the largest n can be.

note: if you plug n = 10 into f(n), you'll get roughly 16.127 which rounds to 16.13 (this comes up again in part c)

=====================================

part b

answer: the y intercept is 12. it represents the starting height of the plant in cm.

work shown:

plug n = 0 into the f(n) function. simplify

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

f(0) = 12*(1.03)^0

f(0) = 12*(1)

f(0) = 12

on day n = 0, aka the starting point, the height f(n) is 12 cm

=====================================

part c

answer: the average rate of change is approximately 0.43061036458991 (round however you need to). this represents the average growth rate from day n = 3 to day n = 10. so the plant grew roughly 0.43 cm per day during this timespan, assuming you round to 2 decimal places.

work shown:

compute f(3)

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

f(3) = 12*(1.03)^3

f(3) = 13.112724 < we'll use this later

compute f(10)

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

f(10) = 12*(1.03)^10

f(10) = 16.1269965521294 < we'll use this later

now use the formula below with a = 3 and b = 10

aroc = average rate of change

aroc = [ f(b) - f(a) ]/[ b - a ]

aroc = [ f(10) - f(3) ]/[ 10 - 3 ]

aroc = (16.1269965521294 - 13.112724)/(10 - 3)

aroc = 3.0142725521294/7

aroc = 0.43061036458991

round this however you need to

note: the plant grew approximately 3.01 cm over 7 days, so roughly 0.43 cm per day is the average growth rate (if you were to round to 2 decimal places).
