Answer:
10.20% probability that a randomly chosen book is more than 20.2 mm thick
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this problem, we have that:
250 sheets, each sheet has mean 0.08 mm and standard deviation 0.01 mm.
So for the book.

What is the probability that a randomly chosen book is more than 20.2 mm thick (not including the covers)
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 20.2. So



has a pvalue of 0.8980
1 - 0.8980 = 0.1020
10.20% probability that a randomly chosen book is more than 20.2 mm thick
Answer:
-10,000 / -2000, although 10,000/2000 gives the same answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equations -10,000/2000 and 10,000/-2000 are negative, and negative days do not make sense, thus eliminating those answers.
Also, she wants to descend 10,000 feet, so that makes it -10,000 int he equation.
Treat this as you would the quadratic equation x^2 - 4x - 3 + 0. Solve this by completing the square:
x^2 - 4x + 4 - 4 - 7 = 0
(x^2 - 4x + 4) = 11
(x-2)^2 = 11, and so x-2 = plus or minus sqrt(11).
Graph this, using a dashed curve (not a solid curve). Then shade the coordinate plane ABOVE the graph.
Use Pythagorean theorem (a^2=c^2-b^2)
