Answer:

The standard deviation is 4.83 inches.

Explanation:

We are given that the average yearly snowfall in Chillyville is Normally distributed with a mean of 55 inches.  

The snowfall  in Chillyville exceeds 60 inches in 15% of the years, we have to find the standard deviation.

Let X = <u><em>the average yearly snowfall in Chillyville</em></u>.

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                                 Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean amount of rainfall = 55 inches

            \sigma = standard deviation  

Now, it is stated that the snowfall  in Chillyville exceeds 60 inches in 15% of the years, that means;

        P(X > 60 inches) = 0.15

        P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{60-55}{\sigma} ) = 0.15

        P(Z > \frac{60-55}{\sigma} ) = 0.15

In the z table, the critical value of z that represents the top 15% of the area is given as  1.0364, that means;

                       \frac{60-55}{\sigma} = 1.0364

                       \sigma} = \frac{5}{1.0364} = 4.83 inches

Hence, the standard deviation is 4.83 inches.

Which of the following best explains why farmers would plant both strawberries and watermelons in the same field?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The answer is D. Limited farmland encourages intensive farming with intercropping to produce high yields.

Explanation:

When practicing agriculture of any form, be it crop or animal agriculture, the resources used are always limited and will not be enough.

Therefore, in the scenario presented above, we see that the land to be used is limited, hence, the farmer must think of a way to maximize the use of his limited land.

The best way to do this is practice what is known as inter cropping, this strategy has the following merits:

- higher yield compared to planting just one crop.

- it serves to mitigate against risk.

- higher revenue will be generated from the sale of both crops.

Therefore it is imperative that farmers with limited land look for ways to maximize the use of the land.

How was the impact of the Mexican cession in 1848 similar to the impact of the Louisiana purchase in 1803
Andreyy89
Both sparked controversy on a political front by bringing new opportunities for political parties to gain more power. Think of the new territory as a way for a weaker side of politics to gain more power in the government.
You should probably use these evidences/terms in your answer:
-North/South/West
-Tariffs
-Expansion, Westward and farmland
-rising tensions/sectionalism

Setler79 [48]

The correct answer to this open question to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options for this question we can answer the following.

The ideas about national identity changed in the United States in response to involvement in the Spanish - American War and the foreign policies that followed it in that many voices in the United States supported the idea of imperialism and expansionism.

English author Rudyard Kipling exposed these ideas in his poem "White Men's Burden," which referred that whites had the obligation to illustrate or educated native Indians considered primitive people. Many people thought they were racially superior to native people in other regions.
