The blood platelet counts of a group of women have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 255.4 and a standard deviation of 63.9. (All units are 1000 cells/muL.) Using the empirical rule, find each approximate percentage below. a. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 3 standard deviations of the mean, or between 63.7 and 447.1? b. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 191.5 and 319.3?

a) From the empirical rule we know that within 3 deviations from the mean we have 99.7% of the data

b)

We can find the number of deviations from the mean for the limits using the z score formula given by:

And replacing we got:

So we have values within 1 deviation from the mean and using the empirical rule we know that we have 68% of the values for this case

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following properties for the random variable of interest "blood platelet counts"

represent the mean

represent the population deviation

Part a

From the empirical rule we know that within 3 deviations from the mean we have 99.7% of the data

Part b

We want this probability:

We can find the number of deviations from the mean for the limits using the z score formula given by:

And replacing we got:

So we have values within 1 deviation from the mean and using the empirical rule we know that we have 68% of the values for this case

rectangle: 9 1/8 x 4 1/9 = 37 37/72in

parallelogram: b times h= 10.3 x 6.2 = 63.86

trapezoid: a+b/2 times h= 42.5

volume of prism: l times w times h= 36

solution:

we have to construct

∠m nt ≅ ∠p qr

the steps to draw this construction are

step 1: use a compass to draw an arc from point q which intersects the side pq at point a and the side qr at point b.

step 2: draw a segment nt and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point n which intersects the segment nt at a point x.

step 3:

step 4: join points n and y using a straightedge.

step 3:

option (d).maintaining the same width of the compass as ab, draw an arc from point x such that it intersects the arc drawn from n in a point y.

to draw   congruent angles , 1. width of compasses while drawing two angles should be same i.e from point at which angle has to be drawn, 2.the distance between the two points where the compass intersects the two sides should be same while drawing any two congruent angles.
