Answer: 2.308 .
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X denotes the number of earthquakes in SanFernando valley region of Los Angeles in 1994.
Given: 
Probability is 0.87 that there will be at least 15 earthquakes .
i.e. 
![\Rightarrow\ P(\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\geq\dfrac{15-17.6}{\sigma})=0.87\\\\ \Rightarrow\ P(Z\geq\dfrac{-2.6}{\sigma})=0.87\ \ \ [Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CRightarrow%5C%20P%28%5Cdfrac%7BX-%5Cmu%7D%7B%5Csigma%7D%5Cgeq%5Cdfrac%7B15-17.6%7D%7B%5Csigma%7D%29%3D0.87%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%20%5CRightarrow%5C%20P%28Z%5Cgeq%5Cdfrac%7B-2.6%7D%7B%5Csigma%7D%29%3D0.87%5C%20%5C%20%5C%20%5BZ%3D%5Cdfrac%7BX-%5Cmu%7D%7B%5Csigma%7D%5D)
Z-value corresponding to p-value 0.87 is -1.1263 .
So, 
Hence, the required standard deviation = 2.308 .
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
We are to determine the value of KM which is adjacent to angle 35. we also have the value for the hypotenuse. Thus we would use COS
Cos 35 = adjacent /hypotenuse
0.8192 = adjacent / 123
adjacent = 0.8192 x 123 = 100.7557 cm
100.8 cm
the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero
Answer:
The tax amount is 15.17$
The tax rate is 12.4%.
Step-by-step explanation:
First we subtract the cost from the selling price.
137.17 - 122 = 15.17
We have found the tax amount, now for the tax rate.
If tax rate is x, then
122 * x = 137.17
Divide both sides by 122 to get
x = 137.17/122 = 1.124, or .124.
Then convert into percentage by moving the decimal to the right 2 times.
.124 = 12.4%
Hope this helps you
Answer:
D. 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
The given fractions have decimal values of ...
2/3 ≈ 0.67
6/7 ≈ 0.86
The answer choices are approximately 0.60, 0.50, 0.43, and 0.83.
The last choice (5/6) is between 2/3 and 6/7.
Using a common denominator of 42, these three fractions are ...
2/3 = 28/42
5/6 = 35/42
6/7 = 36/42
The fraction 5/6 lies between 2/3 and 6/7.
