A national dental association conducted a survey to find the average (mean) amount of time dentists spend on dental fillings per

week. Based on a simple random sample, they surveyed 144 dentists. The statistics showed that dentists spent an average of 20 hours per week on fillings with a standard deviation of 10 hours. What is the probability of finding a sample mean less than 18 hours?

Answer:

The probability of finding a sample mean less than 18 hours is 0.0082

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of finding a sample mean less than 18 hours, we need to calculate the z-score of this sample mean 18. And the probability of finding a sample mean less than 18 hours is P(z<z(18)).

Z-score can be calculated as follows:

z(18)=\frac{X-M}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{N} } } where

  • X is the sample mean (18 hours)
  • M is the average hours dentists spend per week on fillings (20 hours)
  • s is the standard deviation (10 hours)
  • N is the sample size (144)

Putting the numbers, we get:

z(18)=\frac{18-20}{\frac{10}{\sqrt{144} } }=-2.4

Using z- table we can find that P(z<z(18)) = 0.0082

mamaluj [8]

Answer: She would have 16 bags of trail mix.

Step-by-step explanation: Since one bag of trail mix contains 1/8 of a pound. You need to add how much it will take to make 2 pounds. So you keep adding 1/8 but the denominator stays the same each time you add. So it will look like this: 1/8 + 1/8 = 2/8 and you keep repeating it until you get 8/8 which equals 1 pound. Then you add 1/8 until you get 8/8 again. So 8 + 8 = 16.

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-7, 7) and (-6, -5).
defon

Answer:

y = -12x - 77

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of the equation is expressed as y = mx+b

m is the slope

Given the coordinate (-7, 7) and (-6, -5).

m = -5-7/-6+7

m = -12/1

m = -12

Get the intercept b

Substitute m= -12 and (-7 7) into y = mx+b

7 = -12(-7) + b

7 = 84 + b

b = 7 - 84

b = -77

Get the required equation

y = mx+b

y = -12x +(-77)

y = -12x - 77

This gives the required equation

Answer:

see in the picture, the perimeter of this rectangle is

2( x + 3x) = 8x but the perimeter is 65.6

=> 8x = 65.6

<=> x = 65.6/8

=> x = 8.2
