Answer:

77.45% of the sparrows, taken 10 at a time, have mean concentration between 0.28 and 0.33 gram.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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:

The adrenaline concentrations of all sparrows in a county are normally distributed with a mean of 0.3 gram and a standard deviation of 0.02 gram. This means that \mu = 0.3, \sigma = 0.02.

What percentage of the sparrows, taken 10 at a time, have mean concentration between 0.28 and 0.33 gram?

This percentage is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.33 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.28. So

X = 33

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

Z = \frac{0.33 - 0.3}{0.02}

Z = 1.5 has a pvalue of 0.9332

X = 28

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

\frac{0.28-0.30}{0.02}

Z = -1 has a pvalue of  0.1587

This means that 0.9332 - 0.1587 = 0.7745 = 77.45% of the sparrows, taken 10 at a time, have mean concentration between 0.28 and 0.33 gram.

Find an equation for the line with the given properties. Perpendicular to the line x - 6y = 8; containing the point (4,4) O 1) y
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Option 3 - y=-6x+28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Perpendicular to the line x - 6y = 8; containing the point (4,4).

To Find : An equation for the line with the given properties ?

Solution :

We know that,

When two lines are perpendicular then slope of one equation is negative reciprocal of another equation.

Slope of the equation x - 6y = 8

Converting into slope form y=mx+c,

Where m is the slope.

y=\frac{x-8}{6}

y=\frac{x}{6}-\frac{8}{6}

The slope of the equation is m=\frac{1}{6}

The slope of the perpendicular equation is m_1=-\frac{1}{m}

The required slope is m_1=-\frac{1}{\frac{1}{6}}

m_1=-6

The required equation is y=-6x+c

Substitute point (x,y)=(4,4)

4=-6(4)+c

4=-24+c

c=28

Substitute back in equation,

y=-6x+28

Therefore, The required equation for the line is y=-6x+28

So, Option 3 is correct.
