Or the past 100 years, the average high temperature on october 1 is 78° with a standard deviation of 5°. what is the probability

that the high temperature on october 1 of next year will be between 73° and 83°?

Answer:

The probability is 0.683

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate this, we shall be needing to calculate the z-scores of both temperatures

mathematically;

z-score = (x-mean)/SD

From the question mean = 78 and SD = 5

For 73

z-score = (73-78)/5 = -5/5 = -1

For 83

z-score = (83-78)/5 = 5/5 = 1

So the probability we want to calculate is within the following range of z-scores;

P(-1 <z <1 )

Mathematically, this is same as ;

P(z<1) - P(z<-1)

Using the normal distribution table;

P(-1<z<1) = 0.68269 which is approximately 0.683

$\underline{\bf{Given \:equation:-}}$

$\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow ax^2+by+c=0$

$\sf Let\:roots\;of\:the\: equation\:be\:\alpha\:and\beta.$

$\sf We\:know,$

$\boxed{\sf sum\:of\:roots=\alpha+\beta=\dfrac{-b}{a}}$

$\boxed{\sf Product\:of\:roots=\alpha\beta=\dfrac{c}{a}}$

$\underline{\large{\bf Identities\:used:-}}$

$\boxed{\sf (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2}$

$\boxed{\sf (√a)^2=a}$

$\boxed{\sf \sqrt{a}\sqrt{b}=\sqrt{ab}}$

$\boxed{\sf \sqrt{\sqrt{a}}=a}$

$\underline{\bf Final\: Solution:-}$

$\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow \sqrt{\alpha}+\sqrt{\beta}$

$\bull\sf Apply\: Squares$

$\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow (\sqrt{\alpha}+\sqrt{\beta})^2= (\sqrt{\alpha})^2+2\sqrt{\alpha}\sqrt{\beta}+(\sqrt{\beta})^2$

$\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow (\sqrt{\alpha}+\sqrt{\beta})^2 \alpha+\beta+2\sqrt{\alpha\beta}$

$\bull\sf Put\:values$

$\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow (\sqrt{\alpha}+\sqrt{\beta})^2=\dfrac{-b}{a}+2\sqrt{\dfrac{c}{a}}$

$\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow \sqrt{\alpha}+\sqrt{\beta}=\sqrt{\dfrac{-b}{a}+2\sqrt{\dfrac{c}{a}}}$

$\bull\sf Simplify$

$\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow \underline{\boxed{\bf {\sqrt{\boldsymbol{\alpha}}+\sqrt{\boldsymbol{\beta}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{-b}{a}}+\sqrt{2}\dfrac{c}{a}}}}$

$\underline{\bf More\: simplification:-}$

$\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow \sqrt{\alpha}+\sqrt{\beta}=\dfrac{\sqrt{-b}}{\sqrt{a}}+\dfrac{c\sqrt{2}}{a}$

$\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow \sqrt{\alpha}+\sqrt{\beta}=\dfrac{\sqrt{a}\sqrt{-b}+c\sqrt{2}}{a}$

$\underline{\Large{\bf Simplified\: Answer:-}}$

$\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow\underline{\boxed{\bf{ \sqrt{\boldsymbol{\alpha}}+\sqrt{\boldsymbol{\beta}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{-ab}+c\sqrt{2}}{a}}}}$
