The Precision Scientific Instrument Company manufactures thermometers that are supposed to give readings of 0 degrees Celcius at

the freezing point of water. Tests on a large sample of these thermometers reveal that at the freezing point of water, some give readings below 0 degrees celcius (denoted by negative numbers) and some give readings above 0 degrees celcius (denoted by positive numbers).
Assume that the mean reading is 0 degrees celcius and the standard deviation of the readings is 1.00 degrees celcius. Also assume that the frequency distribution of errors closely resembles the normal distribution. A thermometer is randomly selected and tested. Find the temperature reading corresponding to the given information.

If 7% of the thermometers are rejected because they have readings that are too low, but all other thermometers are acceptable, find the temperature that separates the rejected thermometers from the others.
I know the answer, but do not how to solve the problem. answ-->-1.48

Find the z-value with a left tail of 7%:

invNorm(0.07) = -1.48

Find the termperature deviation that corresponds to that z-value:
x = z*s + u
x = -1.48*1 + 0 = -1.48

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that reading on thermometer is N (0,1)

7% of the thermometers are rejected because they have readings that are too low, but all other thermometers are acceptable

This implies that we have to find out the 7th percentile.

i.e. Z score = -1.475

Hence the temperature for cutoff is below -1.475 degrees.

the temperature reading corresponding to the given information.=-1.475 deg

Which best describes the solution to 4 – 7? Because –4 + (–7) is an equivalent expression, the answer is –11. Because 4 + (–7) i
ANTONII [103]
The answer to your question would be: Because 4 + (-7) is an equivalent expression, your answer is -3. The reason for this can be described using integers. So lets say you have $4. You owe your brother $7. Since you don't have enough to pay him, you can pay him all your money, but you still have to pay him $3 more. This means technically your balance is $-3, cause if he needs the money, the second you get it he will ask for it. Sorry if this isn't too great of an example, not sure what else I could think of. Pretty much remember when subtracting a number, you can add the negative of the number, because that is the same thing. Hope this helps. Please rate, leave a thanks, and mark a brainliest answer (Not necessarily mine). Thanks, it really helps! :D

Write the standard form of the equation of the circle with the given characteristics.
SOVA2 [1]
<h2><u>Circle Equations</u></h2>

<h3>Write the standard form of the equation of the circle with the given characteristics.</h3><h3>Center: (0, 0); Radius: 2</h3>

To determine the equation of a circle, use the standard form of a circle (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r² where,

  • <u>(h, k)</u> is the center; and
  • <u>r</u> is the radius

Substitute the values of the center and radius to the standard form.

<u>Given:</u>

<u>(0, 0)</u> - <u>center</u>

<u>2</u> - <u>radius</u>

  • (x - h)² + (y - k)² = 2²
  • (x - 0)² + (y - 0)² = 4
  • x² + y² = 4

<u>Answer:</u>

  • The equation of the circle is <u>x² + y² = 4</u>.

The volume of a cone is 3πx3 cubic units and its height is x units. Which expression represents the radius of the cone’s base, i
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

<em>r=3x</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The Volume of a Cone</u>

The volume of a cone of radius r and height h is:

\displaystyle V=\frac{1}{3}\pi hr^2

We are given the volume of a cone is

V=3\pi x^3

Equating:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}\pi hr^2=3\pi x^3

Multiplying by 3:

\pi hr^2=9\pi x^3

Simplifying by pi:

hr^2=9 x^3

Since h=x:

xr^2=9 x^3

Dividing by x:

r^2=9 x^2

Taking square roots:

r=\sqrt{9 x^2}=3x

Thus: r=3x
