Newton's Law of Cooling states that the change
of the temperature of an object is proportional to the difference between its
own temperature and the ambient temperature over time.
Therefore when expressed mathematically, this is equivalent
to:
dT = - k (T – Ts) dt
dT / (T – Ts) = - k dt
Integrating:
ln [(T2– Ts) / (T1– Ts)] = - k (t2 – t1)
Before we plug in the values, let us first convert the
temperatures into absolute values R (rankine) by adding 460.
R = ˚F + 460
T1 = 200 + 460 = 660 R
Ts = 70 + 460 = 530 R
ln [(T2– 530) / (660 – 530)] = - 0.6 (2 - 0)
T2 = 569.16 R
T2 = 109 ºF
Answer: After 2 hours, it will be 109 ºF
Answer:

And the explanation of this number is:"The number of text messages for Kendra it's 2.26 deviations above the mean"
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
2) Calculate the z score
Let X the random variable that represent the number of text messages per month, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where
and
And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:
If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

And the explanation of this number is:"The number of text messages for Kendra it's 2.26 deviations above the mean"
