Answer:

σ = 0.5102

Step-by-step explanation:

If

Y = volume filled,  

µ = mean

It is a normal distribution

It follows that

0.95 = P (|Y − µ| < 1) = P (|Z| <  1 / σ)

so that

1 / σ = 1.96 ⇒  σ = (1 / 1.96)

⇒  σ = 0.5102.

Fofino [41]
Draw a rectangle with one side equal to 84 in. and the other side equal to 65 in. We know that area = l*w, so the area of the rectangle is 5,460 sq. in. Since Mr. Horn cut the piece of plywood in half, he produces two identical pieces of plywood, with half the amount of area as the original. So, 5,460 sq. in. divided by 2 = 2,730 sq. in.

Perimiter=6 times legnth of one side
P=6(x+1/3y)
P=6x+6/3y
P=6x+2y

if x=5 and y=6
P=6(5)+2(6)
P=30+12
P=42


A. P=6x+2y
B. 42 units is the perimiter

When figuring the pooled population variance estimate in a t test for independent means?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
The appropriate response is a weighted average. It is a mean ascertained by giving qualities in an informational index more impact as indicated by some characteristic of the information. It is normal in which every amount to have arrived at the midpoint of is allocated a weight, and these weightings decide the relative significance of every amount on the normal.
