Answer : C) 5.33 Inches

The table shows the precipitation in December, in inches, for Washington state from 2005 to 2013.

We are given with 9 values.

number of values =9

To find the mean amount of precipitation during this time we add all the precipitation then divide by number of values

$Mean amount of precipitation = \frac{Sum of precipitation}{number of values}$

$Mean amount of precipitation = \frac{5.98+6.05+7.59 +5.27+ 3.11+7.18+ 2.95 + 7.22+2.61}{9}$

= $\frac{47.98}{9} = 5.32888$

The mean amount of precipitation = 5.33 inches

Find all polar coordinates of point P where P = ordered pair 1 comma pi divided by 3.

baherus [9]

Answer:

(1, π/3 +2kπ), (-1, 4π/3 +2kπ) . . . where k is any integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding any multiple of 2π to the angle results in the same point in polar coordinates.

Adding 180° (π radians) to the point effectively negates the magnitude. As above, adding any multiple of 2π to this representation is also the same point in polar coordinates.

There are an infinite number of ways the coordinates can be written.

A random variable x follows a normal distribution with mean d and standard deviation o=2. It is known that x is less than 5 abou

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The mean of this distribution is approximately 3.96.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's how to solve this problem using a normal distribution table.

Let $z$ be the

$\displaystyle z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$ .

In this question, $x = 5$ and $\sigma = 2$ . The equation becomes

$\displaystyle z = \frac{5 - \mu}{2}$ .

To solve for $\mu$ , the mean of this distribution, the only thing that needs to be found is the value of $z$ . Since

The problem stated that $P(X \le 5) = 69.85\% = 0.6985$ . Hence, $P(Z \le z) = 0.6985$ .

The problem is that the normal distribution tables list only the value of $P(0 \le Z \le z)$ for $z \ge 0$ . To estimate $z$ from $P(Z \le z) = 0.6985$ , it would be necessary to find the appropriate

Since $P(Z \le z) = 0.6985$ and is greater than $P(Z \le 0) = 0.50$ , $z > 0$ . As a result, $P(Z \le z)$ can be written as the sum of $P(Z < 0)$ and $P(0 \le Z \le z)$ . Besides, $P(Z < 0) = P(Z \le 0) = 0.50$ . As a result:

$\begin{aligned}&P(Z \le z)\\ &= P(Z < 0) + P(0 \le Z \le z) \\ &= 0.50 + P(0 \le Z \le z)\end{aligned}$ .

Therefore:

$\begin{aligned}&P(0 \le Z \le z) \\ &= P(Z \le z) - 0.50 \\&= 0.6985 - 0.50 \\&=0.1985 \end{aligned}$ .

Lookup $0.1985$ on a normal distribution table. The corresponding $z$ -score is $0.52$ . (In other words, $P(0 \le Z \le 0.52) = 0.1985$ .)

Given that

$z = 0.52$ ,
$x =5$ , and
$\sigma = 2$ ,

Solve the equation $\displaystyle z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$ for the mean, $\mu$ :

$\displaystyle 0.52 = \frac{5 - \mu}{2}$ .

$\mu = 5 - 2 \times 0.52 = 3.96$ .
