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

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

864.36 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question above, we are given the following values,

Confidence interval 95%

Since we know the confidence interval, we can find the score.

Z score = 1.96

σ , Standards deviation = 15mm

Margin of error = 1 mm

The formula to use to solve the above question is given as:

No of boxes =[ (z score × standard deviation)/ margin of error]²

No of boxes = [(1.96 × 15)/1]²

= 864.36 boxes

Based on the options above, we can round it up to 97 boxes.

Is -2 considered a real number
lyudmila [28]

Yes. If we wanted to get even more specific, -2 is an integer, which falls under the label of the real numbers. √-2, on the other hand, is an imaginary number. The square root of -1 doesn't exist in the real numbers, so we invent a new number i with the property that i² = -1. Blending real and imaginary numbers together creates <em>complex numbers, </em>numbers with a real and imaginary part. This extension of the number system is tremendously useful because it essentially makes numbers two-dimensional, allowing us to manipulate and study them through a geometric lens.
