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
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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:

What is the probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated?
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 16. So



has a pvalue of 0.9082
1 - 0.9082 = 0.0918
9.18% probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated
X+79=98 (subtract 79 to isolate x)
X=19 so it is false
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We need to add the two terms.

Solving,
Combine the like terms and adding those terms

So, the answer is:

Well I don't know !
Let's figure it out together.
Each cube can land in 6 different ways, so the total number
of possible results with two cubes is (6 x 6) = 36 .
Now we need to figure out how many of those 36 possibilities
meet your specifications ... either 9 or any even number.
Ways to make 9 :
3 . . . 6
6 . . . 3
4 . . . 5
5 . . . 4
Four ways to make 9.
____________________________
Ways to make an even number:
1 . . . 1
3 . . . 1
1 . . . 3
2 . . . 2
5 . . . 1
1 . . . 5
6 . . . 2
2 . . . 6
6 . . . 4
4 . . . 6
6 . . . 6
Eleven ways to make an even number.
_____________________
Total number of ways to succeed = (4 + 11) = 15 ways
So the probability of succeeding (rolling 9 or an even number)
is
15 / 36 = 5 / 12 = 0.41666... = (41 and 2/3) % .
