Answer:

Sally's temperature is 97.27 °F.

Step-by-step explanation:

All the information given in the question tells us that the human body temperatures are normally distributed with a population's mean = 98.20°F and a standard deviation = 0.62°F.

The question gives us Sally's temperature in a <em>z-score</em>. We have to remember that the <em>standard normal distribution</em> is a particular case of a <em>normal distribution</em> where the mean = 0 and the standard deviation = 1.

Using <em>the standard normal distribution,</em> we can determine every probability associated with a normal distribution "transforming" the raw scores, coming from normally distributed data, into z-scores.

A z-score gives us the distance from the population's mean and is in standard deviation units. So, a z = 1.5 tells us that the value is 1.5 standard deviations <em>above the mean</em>. Conversely, a z = -1.5 tells us that the raw score is also 1.5 standard deviation from the mean, but in the opposite direction, that is, <em>below the mean</em>.

The formula for a z-score is as follows:

\\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} (1)

Where

\\ x\;is\;the\;raw\;score.

\\ \mu\;is\;the\;population\;mean.

\\ \sigma\;is\;the\;population\;standard\;deviation.

Then to find <em>x </em>(or the raw score, that is, Sally's temperature), we need to solve the formula (1) for it to finally solve the question.

Then

\\ \mu = 98.20^\circF °F

\\ \sigma = 0.62^\circF °F

\\ z = -1.5

Thus (with no units)

\\ -1.5 = \frac{x - 98.20}{0.62}

\\ (-1.5*0.62) = x - 98.20

\\ (-1.5*0.62) + 98.20 = x

\\ x = (-1.5*0.62) + 98.20

\\ -0.93 + 98.20

\\ x = 97.27°F

Thus, Sally's temperature is \\ x = 97.27°F (rounding the answer to the nearest hundredth).

Answer:

Sally's temperature is 97.27° F .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Human body temperatures have a mean of 98.20° F and a standard deviation of 0.62° F.

Let X = Human body temperatures

So, X ~ N(\mu = 98.20,\sigma^{2}=0.62^{2})

The z score probability distribution is given by;

            Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)

Let Sally's temperature be x ; we are given that Sally's temperature can be described by z = -1.5; i.e.;

           -1.5 = \frac{x-98.20}{0.62}

              x = 98.20 - (1.5 * 0.62)

              x = 98.20 - 0.93 = 97.27° F

Therefore, Sally's temperature is 97.27° F .

A ship sails on a bearing of 020° for 30 km.
zepelin [54]

Answer:

The ship travels approximately 10.261 meters to the East.

Step-by-step explanation:

At first we introduce a graphical description of the statement as an attachment below. Let suppose that bearing is respect to the North-direction, then the change in position in the East direction is modelled by the following Trigonometric formula:

x = r\cdot \sin \theta (1)

Where:

r - Distance travelled by the ship, measured in kilometers.

\theta - Bearing angle, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

x - Distance component in the east direction, measured in kilometers.

If we know that r = 30\,km and \theta = 20^{\circ}, then the distance in the East direction is:

x = (30\,km)\cdot \sin 20^{\circ}

x \approx 10.261\,m

The ship travels approximately 10.261 meters to the East.

Ayumi plans to go blueberry piking before school, which starts at 8:00 am the amount of blueberries B, in cups that alum picks g
Trava [24]

Answer:

M(t) = M(16 - 2·t)

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is just formed by using the concept of composite functions.

B is cups of blueberries, and n is cups of blueberries,

So by substituting values the required equations formed are given by :

B(t) = 2·(8 - t)  

M(n) = 12·n  

n = B(t)  

M(t) = M(n)

       = M(B(t))

       = M(2·(8 - t))

       = M(16 - 2·t)

Therefore, this is the required function muffins M

What is the value of the remainder if 10x4 – 6x3 + 5x2 – x + 1 is divided by x – 3?
natita [175]

Answer:

Remainder is 691.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is 10x^4-6x^3+5x^2-x+1.

Now we need to find remainder if we divide given function 10x^4-6x^3+5x^2-x+1 by (x-3)

(x-3) means plug x=3 into 10x^4-6x^3+5x^2-x+1 to find remainder.

10x^4-6x^3+5x^2-x+1

=10(3)^4-6(3)^3+5(3)^2-(3)+1

=10(81)-6(27)+5(9)-(3)+1

=810-162+45-3+1

=856-162-3

=856-165

=691

Hence remainder is 691.
