Answer:

97.5%

Explanation:

By the empirical rule (68-95-99.7),

  1. 68% of data are within <em>μ </em>- <em>σ</em> and <em>μ </em>+ <em>σ</em>
  2. 95% of data are within <em>μ </em>- 2<em>σ</em> and <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>
  3. 99.7% of data are within <em>μ </em>- 3<em>σ</em> and <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>

<em>σ </em> and <em>μ</em> are the standard deviation and the mean respectively.

From the question,

<em>μ</em> = 7.2 cm

<em>σ</em> = 0.38 cm

7.96 = 7.2 + (<em>n</em> × 0.38)

<em>n</em> = 2

Hence, 7.96 represents <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>.

P(X < <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>) = P(X < <em>μ</em>) + P(<em>μ</em> < X < <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>)

P(X < <em>μ</em>) is the percentage less than the mean = 50%.

P(<em>μ</em> < X < <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>) is half of P(<em>μ </em>- 2<em>σ</em> < X < <em>μ </em>+ 2<em>σ</em>) = 95% ÷ 2 = 47.5%.

Considering this, for apples that are no more than 7.96 cm,

P(X < 7.96) = P(X < 7.2) + P(7.2 < X < 7.96) = 50% + 47.5% = 97.5%

Which of the following are single-displacement reactions?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

A & D

Explanation:

A single-displacement reaction is a chemical reaction whereby one element is substituted for another one in a compound and thereby generating a new element and also a new compound as products.

From the options, only options A & D fits this definition of single-displacement reactions.

For option D: Both left and hand and right hand sides each have one element and one compound. We can see that K is substituted from KBr to join Cl to form KCl and Br2 on the right hand side.

For option A: Both left and hand and right hand sides each have one element and one compound. We can see that OH is substituted from 2H2O to join Mg to form Mg(OH)2 and H2 on the right hand side.

The other options are not correct because they don't involve only and element and a compound on each side of the reaction.

When a current is passed through plasma and that current is increased will the temperature of the plasma increase . if it does t
Delicious77 [7]

The temperature of the plasma will increase as current is passed through it.

<h3>Meaning of Current and temperature</h3>

Current can be defined as a flow of charged particles through a medium and the particles includes: electrons or ions.

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness experienced by a material.

The more current passes through the plasma the more energy is induced making the particles to move faster which in turns causes temperature to increase and reducing the resistance of the plasma.

In conclusion, The current causes temperature to increase and this reduces the resistance.

From a hot air balloon that is at rest at a certain height, a projectile is launched horizontally at 30m / s, how fast will it h
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

A. 50 m/s

Explanation:

Given in the y direction:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 10 m/s²

t = 4 s

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (10 m/s²) (4 s) + 0 m/s

v = 40 m/s

In the x direction, the velocity is constant at 30 m/s.

The overall speed is:

v² = (30 m/s)² + (40 m/s)²

v = 50 m/s
