Answer:

This temperature reading is -0.675ºC.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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.

In this problem, we have that:

Assume that the readings on the thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0◦ and a standard deviation of 1.00◦C. This means that \mu = 0, \sigma = 1

Find P25, the 25th percentile.

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.25. So we use Z = -0.675, since this happens between Z = -0.67 and Z = -0.68.

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

-0.675 = \frac{X - 0}{1}

X = -0.675

This temperature reading is -0.675ºC.

a rectangle is 28 feet by 41 feet. If it can be determined, which of the following gives the whole number length, in feet, of a
rjkz [21]

Answer:

c = 20 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest square will be 14 sqrt(2) ft long


To figure out the side length of the square

use the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 =c^2

we are limited by the shortest side of the rectangle

28 ft

each side of the triangle is 1/2 the length of the short side of the rectangle or 14 ft

a^2 + b^2 =c^2

14^2 + 14^2 = c^2  where c is the side of the square

196 + 196 = c^2

392 = c^2

take the square root of each side

sqrt(392) = sqrt(c^2)

c = 14sqrt(2)

c = 19.799ft

to the nearest whole number

c = 20 ft

Triangle ABC is shown Translate Triangle ABC 5 units left and 4 units up and reflect it over the x-axis​
tekilochka [14]

Here is my process for solving this.

First I drew arrows that indicated I was moving the whole triangle 5 units to the left.

*Look at first attachment*

Then I drew another triangle using those new points. (The new triangle is in pink)

*Look at second attachment*

Then I drew arrows that moved this new triangle 4 units up. (The new arrows are in pink)

*Look at third attachment*

Then I drew the new triangle in blue using the new points.

*Look at fourth attachment*

Then I mirrored / reflected the triangle over the x axis (the horizontal line) In green.

*Look at fifth attachment*

The fifth attachment in green is the final product! Hope that helps.
