Answer:

1 Pen cost $2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume:

Cost of Pen = a

Cost of pencil = b

Cost of notebook = c

a = 3b -------------------(1)

c = 4a -------------------(2)

2a + 6b + c = $18 -----(3)

From equation (1), b = a ÷ 3 ---------(4)

Substitute equations (2) and (4) in equation (3)

2a + 6 * (a ÷ 3) + 4a = $18

2a + 2a + 4a = $18

8a = $18

a = $2.25

Therefore, 1 Pen cost $2.25

Let’s assume that human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of 98.20° F and a standard deviation of 0.62° F.

uysha [10]

Answer: It is such a small percentage of the population that would be considered to have fever at that level.

So, it is not appropriate stringent standard.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean = 98.20°F

Standard deviation = 0.62°F

If Bellevue Hospital in New York City uses 100.6°F as the lowest temperature considered to be a fever.

So, $\bar{X}=100.6^\circ F$

So, using the normal distribution, we first find the value of z.

$z=\dfrac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\x=\dfrac{100.6-98.2}{0.62}\\\\z=3.87$

Since z = 3.87

So, p = 0.0001 =0.1%

So,It is such a small percentage of the population that would be considered to have fever at that level.

So, it is not appropriate stringent standard.
