Answer:

79.91% of loaves are between 26.94 and 32.18 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 30, \sigma = 2

What percentage of loaves are between 26.94 and 32.18 centimeters

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 32.18 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 26.94.

X = 32.18:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{32.18 - 30}{2}

Z = 1.09

Z = 1.09 has a pvalue of 0.8621

X = 26.94:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{26.94 - 30}{2}

Z = -1.53

Z = -1.53 has a pvalue of 0.0630

0.8621 - 0.0630 = 0.7991

79.91% of loaves are between 26.94 and 32.18 centimeters

The area of a rectangle is 14 m2 , and the length of the rectangle is 3 m less than double the width. find the dimensions of the
muminat
Width =3.5, length = 4

Let's make a few equations to summarize what we know.:
a = 14
l = 2w -3
a = wl

Now let's substitute the expression for l into the expression for area and solve.
a = w(2w - 3)
a = 2w^2 - 3w
14 = 2w^2 - 3w

0 = 2w^2 - 3w - 14

which factors into
(2w - 7) (w + 2)

Solving for w
2w - 7 = 0
2w = 7
w = 3.5

w+2 = 0
w = -2

So w can be either 3.5 or -2. Since a negative width doesn't make sense, w = 3.5

Let's verify
w = 3.5
l = 2w - 3
l = 2*3.5 - 3
l = 7 - 3
l = 4
a = wl
a = 3.5 * 4
a = 14

So the width is 3.5 and the length is 4.

a boat takes 8 hours to go 6 miles upstream and come back to the starting point. if the speed of the boat is 4 miles per hour in
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Consider this option:
1. if to re-write the condition, it is given: total time t=8 hours; upstream=downstream=6 miles; V_boat=4 m/h., V_current=V=?
2. note, that total time=time_upstream+time_downstream, where time_upstream=6miles/(V_boat-V) and time_downstream=6miles/(V_boat+V). Using this it is possible to make up and solve the following equation:
\frac{6}{4+V} + \frac{6}{4-V} =8; \ =\ \textgreater \  \  \frac{V^2-10}{16-V^2}=0; \ =\ \textgreater \  \ V=\sqrt{10} \  \frac{miles}{hour}

answer: √10

P.S. the roots of the equation are √10 and (-√10), only positive values is needed for V.

When conducting a significance test in practice, how should you choose the alpha level?.
iVinArrow [24]

The alpha level should always be set to 0.05.

The supplied statement;

How should you select the alpha() level when doing a significance test in practice,

⇒ Use a higher alpha when the consequences of wrongly rejecting the null hypothesis are more severe. Select alpha () = 0.05 in every situation since it is the best option. Use a smaller alpha when the consequences of wrongly rejecting the null hypothesis are more severe.
