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:

La suma de los ángulos interiores de un hexágono regular es 720°

Step-by-step explanation:

Asumamos que el hexágono presentado en el enunciado sea regular, el cual es formado por seis triángulos equiláteros, Un ángulo interno del hexágono está formado dos ángulos laterales y vecinos de dos triángulos equiláteros, es decir, dos veces 60°, o sea, 120°. Si el hexágono regular tiene seis ángulos internos de igual medida, entonces la suma de los ángulos interiores es 720°.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The survey results will be inaccurate since the entire sample of the population was eating at the same restaurant.

Step-by-step explanation:

When doing a survey you must make sure it is unbiased by asking a variety of people for example if you are wondering what is the favorite class at school you have to ask a certain amount of people from each class because if you ask only people from P.E the answer more than likely will be P.E or if u ask 3 people from Art and 17 from P.E your answer will properly be P.E. Make sense?
