Answer:

a) P( X < 24 ) =  0.9772

b) P ( X > 18 ) =0.8413

c) P ( 14 < X < 26) = 0.9973

d)  P ( 14 < X < 26)  = 0.9973

e) P ( 16 < X < 20)  = 0.4772

f) P ( 20 < X < 26)  =  0.4987

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Mean of the distribution u = 20

- standard deviation sigma = 2

Find:

a. P ( X  < 24 )

b. P ( X  > 18 )

c. P ( 18 < X  < 22 )

d. P ( 14 < X  < 26 )

e. P ( 16 < X  < 20 )

f. P ( 20 < X  < 26 )

Solution:

- We will declare a random variable X that follows a normal distribution

                                   X ~ N ( 20 , 2 )

- After defining our variable X follows a normal distribution. We can compute the probabilities as follows:

a) P ( X < 24 ) ?

- Compute the Z-score value as follows:

                                   Z = (24 - 20) / 2 = 2

- Now use the Z-score tables and look for z = 2:

                                   P( X < 24 ) = P ( Z < 2) = 0.9772

b) P ( X > 18 ) ?

- Compute the Z-score values as follows:

                                   Z = (18 - 20) / 2 = -1

- Now use the Z-score tables and look for Z = -1:

                    P ( X > 18 ) = P ( Z > -1) = 0.8413

c) P ( 18 < X < 22) ?

- Compute the Z-score values as follows:

                                   Z = (18 - 20) / 2 = -1

                                   Z = (22 - 20) / 2 = 1

- Now use the Z-score tables and look for z = -1 and z = 1:

                   P ( 18 < X < 22)  = P ( -1 < Z < 1) = 0.6827

d) P ( 14 < X < 26) ?

- Compute the Z-score values as follows:

                                   Z = (14 - 20) / 2 = -3

                                   Z = (26 - 20) / 2 = 3

- Now use the Z-score tables and look for z = -3 and z = 3:

                   P ( 14 < X < 26)  = P ( -3 < Z < 3) = 0.9973

e) P ( 16 < X < 20) ?

- Compute the Z-score values as follows:

                                   Z = (16 - 20) / 2 = -2

                                   Z = (20 - 20) / 2 = 0

- Now use the Z-score tables and look for z = -2 and z = 0:

                   P ( 16 < X < 20)  = P ( -2 < Z < 0) = 0.4772

f) P ( 20 < X < 26) ?

- Compute the Z-score values as follows:

                                   Z = (26 - 20) / 2 = 3

                                   Z = (20 - 20) / 2 = 0

- Now use the Z-score tables and look for z = 0 and z = 3:

                   P ( 20 < X < 26)  = P ( 0 < Z < 3) = 0.4987

7+3x-12x=3x+1 is it Infinitely many solutions, one solution, or no solutions with steps please
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

  • One solution

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 7 + 3x - 12x = 3x + 1
  • 7 - 9x = 3x + 1
  • 3x + 9x = 7 - 1
  • 12x = 6
  • x = 6/12
  • x = 1/2

It has one solution

Evan enjoys eating fresh fruits and vegetables. This
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

2304 \ in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the surface dimensions of the garden as 24 inches by 48 inches:

#Calculate surface area of the garden's top:

A=lw\\\\=48\times 24\\\\=1152 in^2

Given the soil's thickness is 2 Inches, we multiply this thickness by the garden's surface area to get volume of soil used:

V=tA, t-thickness, A=Area=1152 \ in^2\\\\=2 \ in \times 1152\ in^2\\\\=2304 \ in^3

Hence, the amount of soil used is 2304 cubic inches.

F + H ARE WRONG<br><br> HELP ME JIM!
RSB [31]
Reason F should be "CPCTC" which stands for "corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent". Its like saying "if two houses are identical, then the front doors should be the same". The houses in the analogy are the triangles, while the front doors are the corresponding parts. So if triangle DEC is congruent to triangle BEC, then the corresponding parts angle DEC and angle BEC are congruent.

===========================================

Reason H is "linear pair postulate" which says that if two angles form a linear pair then they are considered supplementary. This is simply what "supplementary" means. The two angles add to 180 degrees. A "linear pair" is where you have two angles that are adjacent and the angles combine to form a straight angle (180 degrees).

===========================================

Side note: It seems like some of this proof has been cut off. There should be more lines to this proof because the last line is always what you want to prove. In this case, the thing we want to prove is "angle DEC and angle BEC are right angles" so that should be the last statement.
