If we consider the first half mile to be charged at $0.30 per tenth also, that half-mile costs $1.50 and the charges amount to a fixed fee of $2.00 and a variable fee of $0.30 per tenth mile.

After you subtract the $2 tip and the fixed $2 fee from the trip budget amount, you have $11.00 you can spend on mileage charges. At 0.30 per tenth mile, you can travel

... $11.00/$0.30 = 36 2/3 . . . . tenth-miles

The trip is measured in whole tenths, so you can ride ...

... 36 × 1/10 = 3.6 miles

_____

If you want to see this in the form of an equation, you can let x represent the miles you can travel. Then your budget amount gives rise to the inequality ...

... 3.50 + 0.30((x -.50)/0.10) + 2.00 ≤ 15.00

... 3.50 + 3x -1.50 +2.00 ≤15.00 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

... 3x ≤ 11.00 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 4

... x ≤ 11/3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

... x ≤ 3.6 . . . . . rounded down to the tenth

Assume the readings on thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0 degrees C and a standard deviation of 1.00 degrees
lozanna [386]

Answer: 0.0035

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The readings on thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0 degrees C and a standard deviation of 1.00 degrees C.

i.e.  \mu=0 and \sigma= 1  

Let x denotes the readings on thermometers.

Then, the probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads greater than 2.17 will be :_

P(X>2.7)=1-P(\xleq2.7)\\\\=1-P(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\leq\dfrac{2.7-0}{1})\\\\=1-P(z\leq2.7)\ \ [\because\ z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}]\\\\=1-0.9965\ \ [\text{By z-table}]\ \\\\=0.0035

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads greater than 2.17 = 0.0035

The required region is attached below .
