Answer:

Jim has an even number of items [or more specifically four fruits].

Step-by-step explanation:

First: Ask yourself the question: what is even?

An even number is 2 and every multiple of 2. So, every other number is not an even number; they're odd.

That makes things easier, right?

Second: Evaluate who has an even number of items:

Sue has 3 apples. So she has 3 items. Is three a multiple of 2?

2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20

Three is not listed in this list so it's not a even number. It would have appeared between two and four. So, three is odd.

Jim has 4 oranges. So he has 4 items. Is four a multiple of 2?

2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20

4 is a multiple of 2. So it is an even number. So Jim has an even number of items [or fruits].

Thanks

Rate Time Distance

Morgan 20 X 20X

Corona 25 X – ¼ 25(X – ¼)

If they meet each other, they need to travle the same distance, mean :

20X = 25(X – ¼)

X = 1.25

The temperature reading from a thermocouple placed in a constant-temperature medium is normally distributed with mean μ, the act

ira [324]

Answer:

The standard deviation would have to be 0.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem using the 68-95-99.7 rule for normal distributions:

The rule states that:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

What would the value of σ have to be to ensure that 95% of all readings are within 0.1° of μ?

This means that 2 standard deviations would need to be within 0.1 of the mean. So

$2\sigma = 0.1$

$\sigma = \frac{0.1}{2}$

$\sigma = 0.05$

The standard deviation would have to be 0.05.
