25.8%  
First, determine how many standard deviations from the norm that 3 tons are. So:
 (3 - 2.43) / 0.88 = 0.57/0.88 = 0.647727273  
So 3 tons would be 0.647727273 deviations from the norm. Now using a standard normal table, lookup the value 0.65 (the table I'm using has z-values to only 2 decimal places, so I rounded the z-value I got from 0.647727273 to 0.65). The value I got is 0.24215. Now this value is the probability of getting a value between the mean and the z-score. What I want is the probability of getting that z-score and anything higher. So subtract the value from 0.5, so 0.5 - 0.24215 = 0.25785 = 25.785%  
So the probability that more than 3 tons will be dumped in a week is 25.8%

Find the area on the shaded region
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

83.2 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we're going to find the area of the bigger triangle (the shaded and unshaded parts together) and then the area of the smaller triangle (the unshaded part) and then subtract that from the area of the bigger triangle. We're going to use the equation: Area=1/2 x base x height. So the base of the big triangle is 16, and the height is (10.4+8.6 = 19). Put into the equation this looks like this: Area=1/2 x 16 x 19, so by multiplying we find that the area is 152 cm^2. Next we find the small triangle's area, Area=1/2 x 16 x 8.6, so the area is 68.8. Then to find the area of the shaded part, we subtract the unshaded area  (68.8) from the whole area (152), 152-68.8=83.2.

The mode and median of the data set below have the same value. What is the missing number?
Maru [420]
10 ! (To find the median add the two middle numbers 7,13 = 20 divide 20 by two and you get 10 as your median. Mode means the most common number which means the mode is also 10)

7. Explain the difference between whole numbers and counting numbers.<br>(2 marks)<br>Your answer​
Burka [1]

Counting numbers is like the numbers 1,2,3,4,5 and so on they were numbers you were probably taught to count to like to count through 1-10 or whatever. Counting numbers mean to count since they do have the word counting in them.

Whole number just means a number with no fraction or intger also 1 - infinity
