First you need to find out how much one science book ways. to do this, you divide the weight by the number of books. 28 divided by 8. that is 3.5.

The next step is to figure out how much 11 books weigh. you take the weight of one book (3.5) and multiply it by the amount of books (11).

the answer is 38.5 pounds.

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a survey was conducted of 880 college students attending the same university and that they were offered a list of 10 different internet service providers and were asked to select the one they prefer.

Basee on this information, if everyone selected equal numbers, each service provider will get (880 / 10 = 88 students). In this case, if someone has 89 votes, this means that another person will get 87 votes while the remaining 8 service providers gets 88 students each.

9. Gold miners in Alaska have found, on average, 12 ounces of gold per 1000 tons of dirt excavated with a standard deviation of

netineya [11]

Answer:

9.18% probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 12, \sigma = 3$
