Answer to Problem 8WE

The percent of coins in circulation in 10 years with weights that are greater than 0.24 ozis 2.28% .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  0.22 oz is the mean weight of the type of coin which is in circulation for past 10 years with standard deviation of 0.01 oz .

Formula used:

The number x is known as standardized value to z where z is provided value of normal distribution, m is the mean and σ is the standard deviation.

  x=z−Mσ

Calculation:

Consider the provided information that 0.22 oz is the mean weight of the type of coin which is in circulation for past 10 years with standard deviation of 0.01 oz .

To compute percent of coins in circulation in 10 years with weights that are greater than 0.24 oz.

Recall that the number x is known as standardized value to z where z is provided value of normal distribution, m is the mean and σ is the standard deviation.

  x=z−Mσ

Here, z is 0.24, m is 0.22 and σ is 0.01.

Apply it,

  x=0.24−0.220.01x=0.020.01x=2

The total area under the curve is 1 and standard normal curve is symmetric about y -axis.

The required percent is the area under the curve of standard normal to the right of x=2 .

In a standard normal curve the area under it and between x=0 and x=2 is 0.4772 .

  0.5−A(2≤x)=0.5−A(2)=0.5−0.4772=0.0228

Multiply the result by 100, to obtain the answer in percentage form,

  0.5−A(2≤x)=0.5−A(2)=0.5−0.4772=0.0228=2.28%

Thus, the percent of coins in circulation in 10 years with weights that are greater than 0.24 ozis 2.28% .

To calculate: The percent of coins in circulation in 10 years with weights that are less than 0.206 oz.

Answer to Problem 8WE

The percent of coins in circulation in 10 years with weights that are less than 0.206 ozis 8.08% .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  0.22 oz is the mean weight of the type of coin which is in circulation for past 10 years with standard deviation of 0.01 oz .

Formula used:

The number x is known as standardized value to z where z is provided value of normal distribution, m is the mean and σ is the standard deviation.

  x=z−Mσ

Calculation:

Consider the provided information that 0.22 oz is the mean weight of the type of coin which is in circulation for past 10 years with standard deviation of 0.01 oz .

To compute percent of coins in circulation in 10 years with weights that are less than 0.206 oz.

Recall that the number x is known as standardized value to z where z is provided value of normal distribution, m is the mean and σ is the standard deviation.

  x=z−Mσ

Here, z is 0.206, m is 0.22 and σ is 0.01.

Apply it,

  x=0.206−0.220.01x=−0.0140.01x=−1.4

The total area under the curve is 1 and standard normal curve is symmetric about y -axis.

The required percent is the area under the curve of standard normal to the leftof x=−1.4 .

In a standard normal curve the area under it and between x=0 and x=1.4 is 0.4192 .

  0.5−A(x≤−1.4)=0.5−A(1.4)=0.5−0.4192=0.0808

Multiply the result by 100, to obtain the answer in percentage form,

  0.5−A(x≤−1.4)=0.5−A(1.4)=0.5−0.4192=0.0808=8.08%

Thus, the percent of coins in circulation in 10 years with weights that are less than 0.206 ozis 8.08% .
