Answer:

y = 60x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of hours that we ski is a variable cost where each hour costs $60. On top of that, we have a fixed cost of $20 which stays the same no matter how long we ski.

So we can use an equation to find the totla cost C given the number of hours t as follows:

C(t) = 60t + 20

We can use this equation to find the cost of a skiing session by plugging in some value for t. For example, if we ski for 3 hours:

C(3) = 60(3) + 20 = $200

The equation can also be written using x and y and mean the same thing.

The amounts of nicotine in a certain brand of cigarette are normally distributed with a mean of 0.954 grams and a standard devia

olga_2 [115]

Let X be the random variable representing the amount (in grams) of nicotine contained in a randomly chosen cigarette.

P(X ≤ 0.37) = P((X - 0.954)/0.292 ≤ (0.37 - 0.954)/0.292) = P(Z ≤ -2)

where Z follows the standard normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1. (We just transform X to Z using the rule Z = (X - mean(X))/sd(X).)

Given the required precision for this probability, you should consult a calculator or appropriate z-score table. You would find that

P(Z ≤ -2) ≈ 0.0228

You can also estimate this probabilty using the empirical or 68-95-99.7 rule, which says that approximately 95% of any normal distribution lies within 2 standard deviations of the mean. This is to say,

P(-2 ≤ Z ≤ 2) ≈ 0.95

which means

P(Z ≤ -2 or Z ≥ 2) ≈ 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

The normal distribution is symmetric, so this means

P(Z ≤ -2) ≈ 1/2 × 0.05 = 0.025

which is indeed pretty close to what we found earlier.
