Big chickens: The weights of broilers (commercially raised chickens) are approximately normally distributed with mean 1511 grams and standard deviation 198 grams. Use the TI-84 Plus calculator to answer the following. (a) What proportion of broilers weigh between 1143 and 1242 grams?

5.55% of broilers weigh between 1143 and 1242 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

What proportion of broilers weigh between 1143 and 1242 grams?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 1242 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1143.

X = 1242

has a pvalue of 0.0869

X = 1143

has a pvalue of 0.0314

0.0869 - 0.0314 = 0.0555

5.55% of broilers weigh between 1143 and 1242 grams

the answer is d

the answer is in the first quadrant, which make the y-int positive.

since the dots are going down, therefore the correlation is negative

i hope it is right.

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
