Answer:

a. 1,300 gallons

b. 1,500 gallons

c. 1,700 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

Mean = 1500 gallons

And, the Standard deviation = 200 gallons

Based on the above information as we know that

68 percent, 95 percent and 99.7 percent of data values are within 1 , 2 and 3 standard mean deviations, as per the empirical law.

The middle of 68% is the standard deviation mean that 68% lies within 1

68% lies within 1 standard deviation mean the middle 68% is between

= 1500 - 200

= 1,300 gallons

And

= 1500 + 200

= 1,700 gallons

Now

= \frac{100 - 68}{2}\\

= 16

Hence, bottom 16% is lower 1300 gallons

Now

Top 16% is upward 1700 gallons, i.e

= 100 - 16

= 84%

This bottom values are underneath 1700

So based on the above explanation

a) 16th percentile = 1,300 gallons

b) Median is

Since it is a Mean of symmetric mound shaped.  

Therefore,  Median is 1,500 gallons

c) 84th percentile is 1,700 gallons

I'm using PEDMAS.

Multiplication first.

2 • 4 = 8

Subtraction.

20 - 4 = 16

16 + 8 = 24

Please let me know if you spot any errors (especially the fraction operation)

What is the simplified form of the expression 1/2 (2x + 6).
kakasveta [241]
1/2(2x+6)
Substitute the one half to both of the numbers inside the parentheses.
1/2*2 is one which would just be x
1/2*6 is three

How do you solve the equation 2cos^2 - cosx = 0 for all solutions?
exis [7]

Answer:

<em>π/2 and π/3</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation 2cos²x - cosx = 0, to find the solution to the equation, we will follow the following step.

let P = cosx

The equation becomes 2P²-P = 0

P(2P-1) = 0

P = 0 and 2P-1 = 0

P= 0 and P = 1/2

Since P = cosx

cosx = 0 and cos(x) =  1/2

If cos(x) = 0

x = cos⁻¹0

x = 90⁰

x = π/2

If cos(x) = 1/2

x = cos⁻¹1/2

x = 60⁰

x = π/3

<em>Hence the solutions to the equation are π/2 and π/3.</em>
