You need to work backwards
if it is no more than 9 units away from 8
thus x must be 8-9<x<8+9 solving -1<x<17
so the answer is 4.
17.89, is this an option?
The next number in the sequence is 36.
Starting from 1, the number increases by 3, 1 + 3 = 4. But the next number, the number it's being increased by increases by 2. 3 + 2 = 5, 4 + 5 = 9. And again, 5 + 2 = 7, 7 + 9 = 16. And again. 7 + 2 = 9, 16 + 9 = 25. Therefore, it is increased to + 11, and the next number is 36.
I hope this helped, and you have a great day!
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.
and
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](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%28X%3E2.7%29%3D1-P%28%5Cxleq2.7%29%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D1-P%28%5Cdfrac%7Bx-%5Cmu%7D%7B%5Csigma%7D%5Cleq%5Cdfrac%7B2.7-0%7D%7B1%7D%29%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D1-P%28z%5Cleq2.7%29%5C%20%5C%20%5B%5Cbecause%5C%20z%3D%5Cdfrac%7Bx-%5Cmu%7D%7B%5Csigma%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D1-0.9965%5C%20%5C%20%5B%5Ctext%7BBy%20z-table%7D%5D%5C%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D0.0035)
Hence, the probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads greater than 2.17 = 0.0035
