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

A line crosses the x-axis at -7 and the y axis at 10. Is the slope of the line positive or negative?
nordsb [41]

The line is positive

The line is positive because it slants to the right.

It wouldve been negative if it slanted to the left.

At a high school the student government is made up of 5 seniors, 4 juniors, 3 sophomores and 2 freshmen. If there are 8 seniors,
hjlf

Answer:

  • 32598720

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Combination for the school government requires:</u>

  • 5 out of 8 seniors = 8! / 3!5! = 6*7*8/2*3 = 7*8 = 56
  • 4 out of 9 juniors = 9! / 4!5! = 6*7*8*9/2*3*4= 7*2*9 = 126
  • 3 out of 12 sophomores = 12! / 3!9! = 10*11*12/2*3 = 10*11*2 = 220
  • 2 out of 7 fishermen = 7! / 2!5! = 6*7/2 = 21

<u>So number of total ways is:</u>

  • 56*126*220*21 = 32598720
