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

For f(x)=3x+1 and g(x)=x²-6, find (f-g)(x)
Lorico [155]

The value of (f - g)(x) is -x² + 3x + 7.

<h3>What is Function?</h3>

The functions are the special types of relations. A function in math is visualized as a rule, which gives a unique output for every input x.

Here, the given functions are;

   f(x) = 3x + 1

   g(x) = x² - 6

Now,

 (f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)

              = (3x + 1) - (x² - 6)

              = 3x + 1 - x² + 6

(f - g)(x)  = -x² + 3x + 7

Thus, the value of (f - g)(x) is -x² + 3x + 7.
