Answer:

P(-3

And then the probability that  will be farther away from the mean than + 3 standard deviations is just

1-0.9973= 0.0027

And the number of cases would be 1000*0.0027=2.7 or approximatley 3 cases. And the bes option is : a.About 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 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".  

2) Solution to the problem

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

X \sim N(\mu,\sigma)  

We are interested on this probability

P(X-3\mu

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

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

And we can find this probability on this way:

P(-3

And in order to find these probabilities we can find tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-3

And then the probability that  will be farther away from the mean than + 3 standard deviations is just

1-0.9973= 0.0027

And the number of cases would be 1000*0.0027=2.7 or approximatley 3 cases. And the bes option is : a.About 3

The function f(t)=t^2+12t-18 represents a parabola.
Lyrx [107]
y= t^{2} +12t -18 \\ y+18=t^{2} +12t \\ y+18+36=t^{2} +12t+36 \\ y+54=(t+6)^{2}  \\ y=(t+6)^{2} -54
f(t) = (t+6)^{2} -54

Eric is adding water to a 60
Archy [21]

Answer:

After 2.5 minutes the pool will have 27 gallons of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pool has already 12 gallons of water and Eric wants to fill it to at least 27 gallons.

The water is flowing at a rate of 6 gallons per minute.

Let, after t minutes the pool will have at least 27 gallons of water.

Therefore, we can write the equation as  

27 = 12 + 6t

⇒ 6t = 15

⇒ t = 2.5 minutes.

Therefore, after 2.5 minutes the pool will have 27 gallons of water. (Answer)

Solve for x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.
Kay [80]

Answer: 8.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Because \angle S \cong \angle S by the reflexive property, we know that \triangle STU \sim \triangle SQR by AA.

So, by the triangle proportionality theorem,

\frac{x}{5.3}=\frac{11.1}{6.7}\\x=(11.1/6.7)(5.3) \approx \boxed{8.8}
