Let’s assume that human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of 98.20° F and a standard deviation of 0.62° F.

Bellevue Hospital in New York City uses 100.6°F as the lowest temperature considered to be a fever. What percentage of normal and healthy persons would be considered to have a fever? Please answer using a percentage and not a probability.

Answer: It is such a small percentage of the population that would be considered to have fever at that level.

So, it is not appropriate stringent standard.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean = 98.20°F

Standard deviation = 0.62°F

If  Bellevue Hospital in New York City uses 100.6°F as the lowest temperature considered to be a fever.

So, \bar{X}=100.6^\circ F

So, using the normal distribution, we first find the value of z.

z=\dfrac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\x=\dfrac{100.6-98.2}{0.62}\\\\z=3.87

Since z = 3.87

So, p = 0.0001 =0.1%

So,It is such a small percentage of the population that would be considered to have fever at that level.

So, it is not appropriate stringent standard.

The barbers profit p each week depends on his charge c per haircut. It is modeled by the equation p= -200c^2+2400c-4700. What pr
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

0 ≤ c ≤ 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The function can be rearranged to ...

p = 200c(12 -c) -4700

suggesting that revenue will be zero for a charge of 0 or for a charge of 12, and that fixed expenses are 4700. Charges less than 0 are uninteresting, and charges high enough to cause the number of customers to be negative also don't make any sense in this context.

Though out of the range of likely consideration, charges low or high enough to cause profit to be negative (more than 9.54, for example) seemingly can be reasonably modeled by this function.

The product of 2/5a²x and -1/5x²a is?
Natasha2012 [34]
So you first multiply the fractions: 2/5 times -1/5 = -2/25; then the a's: a^2 times a equals a^3; then multiply the x's: x times x^2 equals x^3.
The answer would be -2/25a^3x^3
