Researchers recorded the speed of ants on trails in their natural environments. The ants studied, Leptogenys processionalis, all have the same body size in their adult phase, which made it easy to measure speeds in units of body lengths per second (bl/s). The researchers found that, when traffic is light and not congested, ant speeds vary roughly Normally, with mean 6.20 bl/s and standard deviation 1.58 bl/s. (a) What is the probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s? (Enter your answer rounded to four decimal places.)

(b) What percent of ant speeds in light traffic are slower than 6 bl/s? (Enter your answer rounded to two decimal places.)

(c) What are the 10th and 90th percentiles of ant speeds in light traffic? (Enter your answers rounded to four decimal places.)

answer for #1 is c

answer for #2 is d

starting with:    

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7   

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)   

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)   

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)   

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)       

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.   

trying x = -0.5   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.   

trying x = 0   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.   

trying x = 1   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)       

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.

for this case we must apply distributive property to the following expression:

the distributive property states that:

then, when applying the property we have to multiply the -2 for each term within the parenthesis:
