On average, the parts from a supplier have a mean of 31.8 inches and a standard deviation of 2.4 inches. Find the probability that a randomly selected part from this supplier will have a value between 27.0 and 36.6 inches. Is this consistent with the Empirical Rule of 68%-95%-99.7%?

The probability is P=0.9545.

The empirical rule is consistent, as it would have estimate a probability of 95%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a random variable with mean 31.8 in. and standard deviation of 2.4 in.

We have to find the probability that a randomly selected part from this supplier will have a value between 27.0 and 36.6 in.

If we assumed a normal-like distribution, we can calculate the z-score for both values:

That can be interpreted as an interval that is 2 standard deviations wide, centered on the mean.

This interval has a probability of:

If we apply the empirical rule, with 2 standard deviations from the mean, we would have estimate a probability of 95%, which is accurate.

first option

a function is a relation in which an input is paired with exactly one output.

so, let's find the right answer.

in our first option, our inputs are january, february, and march. the outputs are 30, 28, and 25. each input has it's own output. this is correct!

our second option we know is incorrect, because ms. valverade has two outputs, dogs and cats. this is not a function.

our third option is incorrect as well. the yellow square has two ouputs, the square and the triangle.

lastly, in our fourth option, we see the number 7 two times with a different output. therefore, this is not a function.

remember: each input must be paired with only one output!

answer: 12
