Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The mean (μ) one-way commute to work in Chowchilla is 7 minutes. The standard deviation (σ) is 2.4 minutes.

The z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) For x < 2:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{2-7}{2.4} =-2.08

From normal distribution table,  P(x < 2) = P(z < -2.08) = 0.0188 = 1.88%

b) For x = 2:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{2-7}{2.4} =-2.08

For x = 11:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{11-7}{2.4} =1.67

From normal distribution table, P(2 < x < 11) = P(-2.08 < z < 1.67 ) = P(z < 1.67) - P(z < -2.08) = 0.9525 - 0.0188 = 0.9337  

c) For x = 11:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{11-7}{2.4} =1.67

From normal distribution table,  P(x < 11) = P(z < 1.67) = 0.9525

d) For x = 2:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{2-7}{2.4} =-2.08

For x = 5:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{5-7}{2.4} =-0.83

From normal distribution table, P(2 < x < 5) = P(-2.08 < z < -0.83 ) = P(z < -0.83) - P(z < -2.08) =  0.2033- 0.0188 = 0.1845  

e) For x = 5:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{5-7}{2.4} =-0.83

From normal distribution table,  P(x < 5) = P(z < -0.83) = 0.2033

When 508,000,000 is written in scientific notation, what will be the value of the decimal number? pizzzz help
yuradex [85]

Answer:

5.08 * 10^8

Scientific notation requires that the number be written as a number between one and ten multiplied by the appropriate power of ten. In other words how many times must you multiply 5.08 by 10 in order to get 508,000,000? the answer is eight times so the result is 5.08 * 10^8

Write an equation of a line perpendicular to the line 1/2x - 5 , passing through the point (-1 , 7)
jok3333 [9.3K]
<h3>Answer ↓</h3>

y=-2x+5

<h3>Calculations ↓</h3>

First of all we need to determine the slope of the line perpendicular to y = 1/2x - 5 .

The slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals.

So we take 1/2 , turn it over , and change it's sign :

^1/_2\:\:\:--- > ^2/_1\:\:\:--- > 2\:\:\:--- > -2

The slope of the line perpendicular to y = 1/2x-5 is -2 .

Since we're also given a point that the line crosses , we can write the line's equation in point - slope form :

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

y-7=-2(x-(-1)

y-7=-2(x+1)

Now convert to slope intercept :

y-7=-2x-2

add 7 on both sides :

<h3>y = -2x+5</h3>
