Suppose 180 geology students measure the mass of an ore sample. due to human error and limitations in the reliability of the​ ba

lance, not all the readings are equal. the results are found to closely approximate a normal​ curve, with mean 88 g and standard deviation 1 g. use the symmetry of the normal curve and the empirical rule as needed to estimate the number of students reporting readings more than 88 g

Given the total number of students are 180, the mean of data is 88g, and standard deviation is 1g.

A normal curve is a bell-shaped curve with symmetry about the mean and it spreads uniformly on both sides (left side and right side) of the mean.

The empirical rule is also called "68-95-99.7" rule. It says that :-

A) 68% of the data values fall between 1 standard deviation about mean (34% on left side and 34% on right side),

B) 95% of the data values fall between 2 standard deviations about mean (47.5% on left side and 47.5% on right side), and

C) 99.7% of the data values fall between 3 standard deviations about mean (49.85% on left side and 49.85% on right side).

According to distribution of normal curve and "68-95-99.7" empirical rule, we can say 49.85% of data values are above the mean within 3 standard deviations.

So it means 49.85% of total students report readings more than 88g.

Number of students reporting readings more than 88g = 49.85% of 180 = 0.4985 × 180 = 89.73

Hence, approximately 89 students report readings more than mean value.

A bag contains the letters from the words SUMMER VACATION. You randomly choose a letter. What is the probability that you choose
omeli [17]

we have about 14 letters in the given word .

let P(M) be the probability of letter M in word.

there are 2 M in words.n(m)=2 and n(s)=14.

so the probability be =P(M)=n(M)/n(s) =\frac{2}{14} =\frac{1}{7} .

Identify which line from the graph the following right triangles could lie on.
qaws [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of line A = \frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}

                         = \frac{9}{3}

                         = 3

Slope of line B = \frac{9}{6}

                         = \frac{3}{2}

Slope of line C = \frac{6}{8}

                         = \frac{3}{4}

5). Slope of the hypotenuse of the right triangle = \frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}

                                                                                = \frac{90}{120}

                                                                                = \frac{3}{4}

Since slopes of line C and the hypotenuse are same, right triangle may lie on line C.

6). Slope of the hypotenuse = \frac{30}{10}

                                              = 3

Therefore, this triangle may lie on the line A.

7). Slope of hypotenuse = \frac{18}{24}

                                        = \frac{3}{4}

Given triangle may lie on the line C.

8). Slope of hypotenuse = \frac{21}{14}

                                        = \frac{3}{2}

Given triangle may lie on the line B.

9). Slope of hypotenuse = \frac{36}{24}

                                        = \frac{3}{2}

Given triangle may lie on the line B.

10). Slope of hypotenuse = \frac{48}{16}

                                          = 3

Given triangle may lie on the line A.
