Answer:

b. 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 600, \sigma = 100

What is the probability that a seed will take more than 720 hours before germinating?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 720. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{720 - 600}{100}

Z = 1.2

Z = 1.2 has a pvalue of 0.88.

1 - 0.88 = 0.12

So the correct answer is:

b. 0.12

Compare the difference between an independent event and a dependent event.

<h2>⚠ANSWER⚠ </h2>

<em>Dependent event is when two events are dependent events, one event influences the probability of another event whereas independent event has no effect on the probability of another event occurring. </em>

↪DEPENDENT EVENT

When two events are dependent events, one event influences the probability of another event. A dependent event is an event that relies on another event to happen first. Dependent events in probability are no different from dependent events in real life. If you want to attend a concert, it might depend on whether you get overtime at work. if you want to visit family out of the country next month, it depends on whether or not you can get a passport in time. More formally, we say that when two events are dependent, the occurrence of one event influences the probability of another event.

Simple examples of dependent events

  1. Robbing a bank and going to jail.
  2. Not paying your power bill on time and having your power cut off.
  3. Boarding a plane first and finding a good seat.
  4. Parking illegally and getting a parking ticket.

↪INDEPENDENT EVENT

An independent event is an event that has no connection to another event’s chances of happening (or not happening). In other words, the event has no effect on the probability of another event occurring. Independent events in probability are no different from independent events in real life. Where you work has no effect on what color car you drive. Buying a lottery ticket has no effect on having a child with blue eyes.

When two events are independent, one event does not influence the probability of another event.

Simple examples of independent events

  1. Owning a dog and growing your own herb garden.
  2. Paying off your mortgage early and owning a Chevy Cavalier.
  3. Winning the lottery and running out of milk.
  4. Buying a lottery ticket and finding a penny on the floor.

How do you find the hypotenuse of a right triangle when you have 2 angles (1 being the 90 degrees since it is a right triangle)
stiks02 [169]
Find the length of the hypotenuse by using either "sine" or "cosine". 

Sine= Length of opposite side/ Hypotenuse

Cosine= Length of adjacent side/ Hypotenuse

In order to use one of these, it depends on which angle they give you other than 90 degrees. 

Hope this helps!
