Answer:

The probability that next year Greenville will receive the following amount of rainfall A) At most 55 inches of rain is 0.7734, B) at least 62 inches of rain is 0.0516, C) Between 46 and 55 inches of rain is 0.0387

D Having rainfall of above 65 inches would be considered as an extremely wet year

Step-by-step explanation:

A. To find the probability that next year Greenville will receive at most 55 inches of rain we would have to make the following calculation:

P(X<55)

=P((X-mean)/s<(55-49)/8)

=P(Z<0.75)

=0.7734

The probability that next year Greenville will receive at most 55 inches of rain is 0.7734

B. To find the probability that next year Greenville will receive at most 62 inches of rain we would have to make the following calculation:

P(X>62)

=P(Z>(62-49)/8)

=P(Z>1.63)

=0.0516

The probability that next year Greenville will receive at most 62 inches of rain is 0.0516

C. To find the probability that next year Greenville will receive at Between 46 and 55 inches of rain we would have to make the following calculation:

P(46<X<54)

=P((46-49)/8 <Z<(54-49)/8)

=P(-0.38 <Z< 0.63)

=0.3837

The probability that next year Greenville will receive Between 46 and 55 inches of rain is 0.3837

D. Here consider a value that is more two standard deviations above the mean as an unusual vale. That is:

X=2σ+μ

=2(8)+49

=65

Therefore, having rainfall of above 65 inches would be considered as an extremely wet year.

Use the table of reciprocals to find the reciprocal of these numbers:<br> 0.000 080 25 <br> 0.9596
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

1000000/8025 = 40000/321 (simplified)

1000/9596

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there,

There is an alternative way to do this....

First it is important to understand what a reciprocal is. The reciprocal of any number x is the number 1/x. The reciprocal of a number is also its multiplicative inverse, which means that the number times its reciprocal must equal 1. For a number such as 2, the reciprocal would be 1/2. For a fraction such as 2/5, the reciprocal would be 5/2.

Finding the reciprocal of a decimal can be done in a number of ways.

Change the decimal to a fraction first.

Ex. 0.25 is 25/100 and is equivalent to the fraction 1/4. Therefore Its reciprocal would be 4/1 or 4.

Keep the decimal and form the fraction 1/?? which can then be or converted to a decimal.

Ex. 0.75 The reciprocal is 1/0.75. Using a calculator, the decimal form can be found by performing the operation: 1 divided by 0.75. The decimal reciprocal in this case is a repeating decimal, 1.33333....

After finding a reciprocal of a number, perform a quick check by multiplying your original number and the reciprocal to determine that the product is 1:

(0.25)(4) = 1.00

(0.75)(1.33....) = 1 but it is easier to see for sure with repeating decimals if you use the fractions instead of the decimals.

(3/4)(4/3) = 12/12 = 1

Hope this helps, Mark as brainliest if liked it! thanks!
