If T equals 1 / r + 1 / s equals r + S over RS, then what is 1 / T in terms of R&S?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

$T=\dfrac{1}{r}+\dfrac{1}{s}\\\\T=\dfrac{1\cdot s}{r\cdor s}+\dfrac{1\cdot r}{r\cdot s}\\\\T=\dfrac{s}{rs}+\dfrac{r}{rs}\\\\T=\dfrac{s+r}{rs}\to\dfrac{1}{T}=\dfrac{rs}{s+r}$

If we take 1200 as the 100%, how much percentage is 700 of it?

well $\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
1200&100\\
700&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{1200}{700}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{700\cdot 100}{1200}
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{175}{3}$

so, (175/3)% or roughly 58.3%

now, how much is (175/3)% of 15000 ?
well, if we take 15000 as the 100%
then $\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
15000&100\\
x&\frac{175}{3}
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{15000}{x}=\cfrac{100}{\frac{175}{3}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{15000\cdot \frac{175}{3}}{100}=x\implies \cfrac{5000\cdot 175}{100}=x$

Assume the readings on thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0°C and a standard deviation of 1.00°C. Find the pro

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

0.0326 = 3.26% probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads between −2.23 and −1.69.

The sketch is drawn at the end.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 0°C and a standard deviation of 1.00°C.

This means that $\mu = 0, \sigma = 1$
