Meteorologists have tracked the total annual rainfall in the town of Spring Valley year after year and found that it follows a n

ormal distribution. The average annual rainfall is 30 inches, with a standard deviation of 8 inches. In one particular year, only 18 inches of rain fell. You work for the local newspaper, and your editor has asked you to write a story about the terrible drought the town is suffering from and how dire the situation is.
Based on your understanding of the underlying statistics (especially the normal curve), do you agree with your editor’s sensationalist take of the situation?

Based on the understanding of the underlying statistics editor's has been right about the droughts there a major drought because if you take average rainfall was 30 and one of the year it was 18 the normal distribution or bar graphs falls from 30 to 18. If you take standard deviation minimum rainfall is 22 and minimum rainfall is 10 which is drastically low.Editors is right there is decline in rainfall which could lead to droughts,

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Normal distribution, basically a bell shaped curved which has two sides.
  • Two sides which is a histogram which is used.
  • example plane it takes of from one height goes to maximum.
  • example plane landing from height to landing.
  • Average is middle value of the data which gives a number of entire lot.
  • Standard deviation is squaring error and error which is plus or minus.
  • Statistics descriptive statistics are based on averaging and then normal.

What is the value of the expression “two less than six times the difference of a number and five” when n = 9?
Finger [1]

Answer:

Try solving 6(n-5)-2.

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe this can be set up as 6(n-5)-2. The difference of a number and five can be represented by n-5. If this needs to be multiplied by 6 (hence 6 times), it would become 6(n-5). Two less than that is represented by -2. Thus, two less than six times the difference of a number and five is 6(n-5) -2, which, when n=9 is plugged in, looks like 6(9-5) -2. Follow PEMDAS from there.

Find the slope of the line.
pickupchik [31]
There are several ways to do this.
I'll show you two methods.

1) Pick two points on the line and use the slope formula.
Look for two points that are easy to read. It is best if the points are on grid line intersections. For example, you can see points (-4, -1) and (0, -2) are easy to read.
Now we use the slope formula.

slope = m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Call one point (x1, y1), and call the other point (x2, y2).
Plug in the x1, x2, y1, y2 values in the formula and simplify the fraction.

Let's call point (-4, -1) point (x1, y1).
Then x1 = -4, and y1 = -1.
Let's call point (0, -2) point (x2, y2).
Then x2 = 0, and y2 = -2.

Plug in values into the formula:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-2 - (-1))/(0 - (-4)) = (-2 + 1)/(0 + 4) = -1/4

The slope is -1/4

2) Pick two points on the graph and use rise over run.
The slope is equal to the rise divided by the run.
Run is how much you go up or down.
Rise is how much you go right or left.

Pick two easy to read points.
We can use the same points we used above, (-4, -1) and (-0, -2).
Start at point (0, -2).
How far up or down do you need to go to get to point (-4, -1)?
Answer: 1 unit up, or +1.
The rise is +1.
Now that we went up 1, how far do you go left or right top go to point (-4, -1)?
Answer: 4 units to the left. Going left is negative, so the run is -4.
Slope = rise/run = +1/-4 = -1/4

As you can see we got the same slope using both methods.

Can somebody please explain and answer this for me? I really don't get it.
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Results can be (-\frac{1}{3} )^5

Step-by-step explanation:

-The solution for this question:

(-\frac{1}{3} )^5 is equal to  (-\frac{1}{3}) × (-\frac{1}{3}) × (-\frac{1}{3}) × (-\frac{1}{3}) × (-\frac{1}{3})

-The calculation for (-\frac{1}{3} )^5:

(-\frac{1}{3} )^5 = -\frac{1}{243}
