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.

Sue Shopper received a $749.25 discount loan to purchase a refrigerator. The loan was offered at 12% for 120 days
STALIN [3.7K]
The interest paid for the loan will be:
I=(PRT)/100
P=$749.25
R=12%
T=120 days=120/30=4 months=1/3 years
Hence:
I=(749.25×1/3×12)/100
I=$29.97

The proceeds will be:
Net proceeds=(gross proceeds)-(expenses)
=749.25-29.97
=$719.28

What is the slope and y-intercept of line p graphed below?
S_A_V [24]
The y int is where the line crosses the y axis ...so ur y int is 3 or (0,3).
ur slope...start at the y int (0,3)....and if u come down 3, and go to the right 2, and down 3, and to the right 2 u are landing on ur line. So ur slope is -3/2

A quadrilateral has vertices (2, 0), (0, –2), (–2, 4), and (–4, 2). Which special quadrilateral is formed by connecting the midp
Elden [556K]
The first step to take is to plot the coordinates of the figure. Next, we caculate the distances of the sides of the polygon using distance formula given the coordinates of points. Next we get the midpoint of each side and connect them to each other. we calculate again the distances. The resulting figure is composed of four congruent sides but the angles are not perpendicular. The answer is D. rhombus
