Answer:

It's false.... correct is a2+2ab+b2

Step-by-step explanation:

This cannot be factored anymore although. when we try to substitute a with 5 and b with 2, the answer in the right hand side of the equation is -9.

That's why it's false.

Monthly water bills for a city have a mean of $108.43 and a standard deviation of $36.98. Find the probability that a randomly s

GaryK [48]

Answer:

The bill size can be considered usual.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean (μ) = $108.43

Standard deviation (σ) = $36.98

Now, consider the distribution to be normal distribution :

$P(Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{a-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{173-108.43}{36.98})\\\\\implies P(Z>1.75)$

Now, finding values of z-score from the table. We get,

P(Z > 1.75) = 0.9599

⇒ 95.99%

So, only 4.01 % of the people in the city wastes water.

Hence, the bill size can be considered usual.
