Answer:

z=-1.99

z=1.99

And if we solve for a we got

a=288 -1.99*3.7=214.4

a=288 +1.99*3.7=295.4

And the limits for this case are: (214.4; 295.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

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".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the annual precipitation of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(288,3.7)  

Where \mu=288 and \sigma=3.7

The confidence level is 95.44 and the signficance is 1-0.9544=0.0456 and the value of \alpha/2 =0.0228. And the critical value for this case is z = \pm 1.99

Using this condition we can find the limits

z=-1.99

z=1.99

And if we solve for a we got

a=288 -1.99*3.7=214.4

a=288 +1.99*3.7=295.4

And the limits for this case are: (214.4; 295.4)

What are the zeros of the polynomial function f(x) = x^3-10x^2+24x
Ludmilka [50]
Replace F(x) with y
y=x^3-10x^2+24x
To find the roots replace y with 0.
0=x^3-10x^2-24x
Rewrite the equation as
x^3-10x^2+24x=0
Factor the left side
x(x-6)(x-4)=0
The solution is a result of
x=0, x-6=0, and x-4=0

The answer is:
x=0, 6, 4

What will be the next in the series 2,60,10,120,30,?
grandymaker [24]
2 to 60 is 58 -48 is 10 
so you have think what sort of maths skills are used like it could n+58 -48 then square or something ,but check what the differences are between the numbers.
hope it helped.

The probability that a student uses Smarthinking Online Tutoring on a regular basis is 0.31 . In a group of 21 students, what is
Ivenika [448]

Answer: 0.0241

Step-by-step explanation:

This is solved using the probability distribution formula for random variables where the combination formula for selection is used to determine the probability of these random variables occurring. This formula is denoted by:

P(X=r) = nCr × p^r × q^n-r

Where:

n = number of sampled variable which in this case = 21

r = variable outcome being determined which in this case = 5

p = probability of success of the variable which in this case = 0.31

q= 1- p = 1 - 0.31 = 0.69

P(X=5) = 21C5 × 0.31^5 × 0.69^16

P(X=5) = 0.0241
