Assume a random variable x is normally distributed with mean = 90 and standard deviation = 5. Find the indicated probability.

Answer:

16%

Step-by-step explanation:

The indicated probability is actually the area under the standard normal curve to the left of the mean.  I used the function normalcdf( on my TI-83 Plus calculator to find this quantity:

normalcdf(-1000,85,90,5) = 0.1587.

Note #1:  This quantity (area / probability) is the area to the left of 85.

Note #2:  by the Empirical Rule, 68% of data lies within 1 s. d. of the mean, so the area between the mean (90) and the score (85) is half of 68%, or 34%.  Subtracting this from 50% (the area to the left of the mean), we get 16%, which is roughly equivalent to the 0.1587 we got earlier.

Scientists have found a relationship between the temperature and the height above a distant planet's surface. , given below, is
Liula [17]

Answer:

1) Option B is correct.

The inverse of the function, T⁻¹(x), represents the The height above the surface (in kilometers) when the temperature is x degrees Celsius.

2) T⁻¹(x) = 12.2 - 0.4x

3) T⁻¹(15) = 6.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The inverse of a function is a function that reverses the effects of the original function on the variable that determines the original function's value.

T(h) = 30.5 - 2.5h

The original function takes the height in kilometres and converts it to temperature at that point in degree Celsius, So, the inverse function will take the temperature in degree Celsius and produce the corresponding height in kilometres.

So, it is the The height above the surface (in kilometers) when the temperature is x degrees Celsius.

The inverse functuon is given as T⁻¹ (x)

2) To obtain T⁻¹(x)

T(h) = 30.5 - 2.5h

We make h the subject of formula

2.5h = 30.5 - T

h = (30.5 - T)/2.5

h = 12.2 - 0.4T

T⁻¹(x) = 12.2 - 0.4x

3) T⁻¹(x) = 12.2 - 0.4x

when x = 15°C

T⁻¹(15) = 12.2 - 0.4(15) = 6.2 m

The length of a particular rectangle is 2 inches less than twice its width. If the area of the rectangle is 40 square
lianna [129]

ANSWER:

Let width be x, then length be 2x – 2

Now, Area of rectangle = L × B

  • x(2x – 2) = 40
  • 2x² – 2x – 40 = 0
  • 2(x² – x – 20) = 0
  • x² – x – 20
  • x² –5x + 4x – 20 = 0
  • x(x – 5) + 4(x – 5) = 0
  • (x + 4)(x – 5) = 0
  • x = – 4; 5

Hence, width can't be negative.

So width = 5in.

And Length = 2 × 5 – 2

  • 10 – 2 = 8in.

So, <u>Correct choice</u> - [D] Length is 8 in, Width is 5 in.

Need help asap!!!!!!
Ostrovityanka [42]
They are inverses. 

The easiest way to solve this is to take the g(x) equation and switch the g(x) with the x. Then solve for your new g(x). Since it looks just like f(x) after doing that, it is an inverse.
