A magnitude 6.7 earthquake struck the SanFernando valley region of Los Angeles in 1994, causing widespread damage. Suppose anoth

er region with more active earthquakes and the number of earthquakes in this region is a random variable (binomial) distribution. Use a normal distribution approximation to find standard deviation if the probability is 0.87 that there will be at least 15 earthquakes with mean=17.6.

Answer: 2.308 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denotes the number of earthquakes in SanFernando valley region of Los Angeles in 1994.

Given: \mu=17.6

Probability is 0.87 that there will be at least 15 earthquakes .

i.e. P(X\geq15)=0.87

\Rightarrow\ P(\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\geq\dfrac{15-17.6}{\sigma})=0.87\\\\  \Rightarrow\ P(Z\geq\dfrac{-2.6}{\sigma})=0.87\ \ \ [Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}]

Z-value corresponding to p-value 0.87 is -1.1263 .

So, \dfrac{-2.6}{\sigma}=-1.1263

\sigma= \dfrac{-2.6}{-1.1263}\approx2.308

Hence, the required standard deviation = 2.308 .

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

75x + -300 = 25x + 200

Reorder the terms:

-300 + 75x = 25x + 200

Reorder the terms:

-300 + 75x = 200 + 25x

Solving

-300 + 75x = 200 + 25x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-25x' to each side of the equation.

-300 + 75x + -25x = 200 + 25x + -25x

Combine like terms: 75x + -25x = 50x

-300 + 50x = 200 + 25x + -25x

Combine like terms: 25x + -25x = 0

-300 + 50x = 200 + 0

-300 + 50x = 200

Add '300' to each side of the equation.

-300 + 300 + 50x = 200 + 300

Combine like terms: -300 + 300 = 0

0 + 50x = 200 + 300

50x = 200 + 300

Combine like terms: 200 + 300 = 500

50x = 500

Divide each side by '50'.

x = 10

Simplifying

x = 10
