The amounts of nicotine in a certain brand of cigarette are normally distributed with a mean of 0.966 grams and a standard deviation of 0.315 grams. Find the probability of randomly selecting a cigarette with 0.305 grams of nicotine or less.

The  probability is  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The population mean is  

       The standard deviation is  

Given that the amounts of nicotine in a certain brand of cigarette are normally distributed

    Then the probability of randomly selecting a cigarette with 0.305 grams of nicotine or less is mathematically represented as

Generally

So  

From the z-table(reference calculator dot  net  ) value of  

So

in 1995, potato plants were taken into space aboard the space shuttle columbia.

step-by-step explanation:

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.
