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.

The probability that a single radar station will detect an enemy plane is 0.65. (a) How many such stations are required to be 98
Inga [223]

Answer:

4 stations

Step-by-step explanation:

If we need to be at least 98% certain that an enemy plane flying over will be detected by at least one station, we must ensure that there is at most a 2% chance that no radar stations detect the plane.

The probability that a single radar station does not detect the plane is 0.35.

For n radar stations:

P=0.02=0.35^n\\n=\frac{log(0.02)}{log(0.35)}\\n=3.73

Rounding up to the next whole station, at least 4 stations are needed.

Is 4x + the square root of y = 12 a linear function
ivolga24 [154]
I wouldn't say so, as if you rearrange that equation you get sqr root y = 12 - 4x. Then you square everything to get the value of y so you would end up with 144 - 16x^2.
Therefore, the x value has a power, so it would be a curved line
