The annual per capita consumption of bottled water was 32.6 gallons. Assume that the per capita consumption of bottled water is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 32.6 and a standard deviation of 12 gallons. The probability that someone consumed more than 33 gallons of bottled water is?

0.4867

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an approximately normal distribution:

Z = (x - mean) / standard deviation

Mean = 32.6 ; Standard deviation = 12

For :

P(x > 33)

Z = (33 - 32.6) / 12

Z = 0.4 / 12

Z = 0.0333

Hence, using the Z distribution table :

P(Z > 0.0333) = 1 - P(Z < 0.333)

P(Z > 0.0333) = 1 - 0.51328

P(Z > 0.0333) = 0.48672

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer
