The annual precipitation amounts in a certain mountain range are normally distributed with a mean of 104 inches, and a standard

dsp73

Answer:

91.92% probability that the mean annual precipitation during 49 randomly picked years will be less than 106.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 104, \sigma = 14, n = 49, s = \frac{14}{\sqrt{49}} = 2$

What is the probability that the mean annual precipitation during 49 randomly picked years will be less than 106.8 inches

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 106.8. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{106.8 - 104}{2}$

$Z = 1.4$

$Z = 1.4$ has a pvalue of 0.9192

0.9192 = 91.92% probability that the mean annual precipitation during 49 randomly picked years will be less than 106.8 inches

Find the equation of a straight line passing throught the point listed and having the given gradient. Express your answer in the

Igoryamba

First let's try to find the equation in this form : y = mx + c

The gradient is given 3 . In a line's equation, x's coefficient represents the line's gradient.

So equation of a line with the gradient of 3, would look like this ;

 $y= 3x + c$

Now a point that the line passes through is given, (1, 2)

This point's x-coordinate is 1 and y-coordinate is 2.

So we'll plug its x-coordinate value in the equation and also y-coordinate value. So we can solve it.

As you know, $x=1$ and $y=2$

$y = 3x + c$

$2\quad =\quad 3\cdot 1+c\\ \\ 2\quad =\quad 3+c\\ \\ 2-3\quad =\quad c\\ \\ -1\quad =\quad c$

We found c = -1

Also in a line's equation, c is constant and it represents the line's y-intercept

So let's build the line's equation.

$m=3$ and $c=-1$

$y= mx + c$

$y= 3x -1$

We found the line's equation in this form, $y= mx + c$

Now let's turn it into this form, $ax + by + c = 0$

$y\quad =\quad 3x-1\\ \\ y-3x\quad =\quad -1\\ \\ y-3x+1\quad =\quad 0\\ \\ -3x+y+1\quad =\quad 0$

Final answers,

$\boxed { y\quad =\quad 3x-1 }$

and

$\boxed { -3x+y+1\quad =\quad 0 }$

I hope this was clear enough :)

NEED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Kaylee used the amount of green paint in the mixture = x ounces

and the amount of white paint = y ounces

Total amount of mixture = 50 ounces

Equation will be x + y = 50 ------(1)

Ratio of green paint to the white paint in the mixture = 5 : 3

⇒ x : y = 5 : 3

⇒ $\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{3}$

⇒ x = $\frac{5}{3}y$ ---------(2)

Therefore, By solving these two equations by substitution method we can get the amount of green and white paint used in the mixture.

What percent of 48 is 18

arsen [322]

To find the percent you take 18 and divide it by 48, so you get 9/24 or 3/8, by using calculator you get .375 which is 37.5% then you multiply by 100 to convert a decimal to a percentage.
