Water use in the summer is normally distributed with a mean of 311.4 million gallons per day and a standard deviation of 40 mill

ion gallons per day. City reservoirs have a combined storage capacity of 350 million gallons. The probability that a day requires more water than is stored in city reservoirs is P(X > 350)= 1 - P (Z < b). What is the value of b? Please report your answer in 3 decimal places.

Answer: 0.965

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Water use in the summer is normally distributed with

\mu=311.4\text{ million gallons per day}

\sigma=40 \text{ million gallons per day}

Let X be the random variable that represents the quantity of water required on a particular day.

Z-score : \dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

\dfrac{350-311.4}{40}=0.965

Now, the probability that a day requires more water than is stored in city reservoirs is given by:-

P(x>350)=P(z>0.965)=1-P(z

We can see that on comparing the above value to the given P(X > 350)= 1 - P(Z < b) , we get the value of b is 0.965.

A rectangle has a side length of 4 inches and an area of 18 square inches and a larger similar triangle has a corresponding side
evablogger [386]
I have to assume that you mean it is a similar rectangle, since a triangle can not be similar to a rectangle. In that case the original measurements are 4x4.5.

By doubling them, you get a rectangle with the measurements of 8x9 and thus the area is 72
