The body temperatures of a group of healthy adults have a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 98.18 F and a standard deviat

ion of 0.65 F. Using the empirical​ rule, find each approximate percentage below.

Answer:

99.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Empirical rule formula states that:

• 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ.

• 95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ.

• 99.7% of data falls within 3 standard deviations from the mean - between μ - 3σ and μ + 3σ.

From the question, we have mean of 98.18 F and a standard deviation of 0.65 F

The approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures between 96.23 F and100.13 ​F is

μ - 3σ

= 98.18 - 3(0.65)

= 98.18 - 1.95

= 96.23 F

μ + 3σ.

98.18 + 3(0.65)

= 98.18 + 1.95

= 100.13 F

Therefore, the approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures between 96.23 F and 100.13 ​F which is within 3 standard deviations of the mean is 99.7%

You would need 3622 ft to cover the outside. There’s no price per square foot of siding (or it’s not shown) so there’s no way to find it.

3/4=j-1/2 solve the equation check your solution
DIA [1.3K]
3/4= j-1/2
first to add 1/2 to both sides to solve for j 
3/4 + 1/2= j
second you find a common denominator in order to add 3/4 and 1/2, the common denominator would be 4, you would have to change 3/4 at all because the denominator is already 4 but in order to make the denominator of 1/2, 4 you would have to multiply both the denominator and numerator by 2 so 
3/4 + 2/4 = 5/4
so 5/4 =j

to check your answer you plug 5/4 in for j 
3/4 = 5/4 -1/2
again you need to find a common denominator between 5/4 and 1/2 which again would be 4, and again you wouldn't change 5/4 but you would multiply both the numerator and the denominator of 1/2 so 
3/4= 5/4-2/4
5-2= 3 and you would keep the 4 so 
5/4 - 2/4 = 3/4

so j =  5/4

Help! If you know this can you tell me how to do it?

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's how this works:

Get everything together into one fraction by finding the LCD and doing the math.  The LCD is sin(x) cos(x).  Multiplying that in to each term looks like this:

[sin(x)cos(x)]\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}+[sin(x)cos(x)]\frac{cos(x)}{sin(x)} =?

In the first term, the cos(x)'s cancel out, and in the second term the sin(x)'s cancel out, leaving:

\frac{sin^2(x)}{sin(x)cos(x)}+\frac{cos^2(x)}{sin(x)cos(x)}=?

Put everything over the common denominator now:

\frac{sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)}{sin(x)cos(x)}=?

Since sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)=1, we will make that substitution:

\frac{1}{sin(x)cos(x)}

We could separate that fraction into 2:

\frac{1}{sin(x)}×\frac{1}{cos(x)}

\frac{1}{sin(x)}=csc(x)  and  \frac{1}{cos(x)}=sec(x)

Therefore, the simplification is

sec(x)csc(x)
