The distribution of the weights of a sample of 140 cargo containers is symmetric and bell-shaped, with a mean of 500 pounds and a standard deviation of 20 pounds. What percentage of the cargo containers will weigh between 460 pounds and 540 pounds? a. 95%
b. Can't tell-there is not enough information
c. 67%
d. 99%

a. 95%

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question, using z score formula.

Z score formula = (x - μ)/σ/√n

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

n is number of samples

For z1, where x1 = 460, μ = 500, σ = 20, n = 140

z score formula = (460 - 500)/ 20

= -40/20

= -2

We find the probability of the z score using the z score table.

P(x = 460) = P(z = -2)

= 0.02275

For z2, where x2 = 540, μ = 500, σ = 20

z score formula = (540 - 500)/20

= 40/20

= 2

We find the probability of the z score using the z score table.

P(x = 540) = P(z = 2)

= 0.97725

The probability that the cargo containers will weigh between 460 pounds and 540 pounds is calculated as:

= 460 < x < 540

= P(z = 2) - P(z = -2)

= 0.97725 - 0.02275

= 0.9545

Converting to percentage

0.9545 × 100

= 95.45%

Therefore,the percentage of the cargo containers will weigh between 460 pounds and 540 pounds is 95%

well, you see here, jamal was born to 2 parents, his mother who he lives with and his father who left at a young age and who happens to be younger than him. he stole cookies because he has to steal food due to the fact that he spends his government poverty checks on pot and women.

its kind of blurry. can you put a clearer pic?
