The temperature reading from a thermocouple placed in a constant-temperature medium is normally distributed with mean μ, the act

ual temperature of the medium, and standard deviation σ. What would the value of σ have to be to ensure that 95% of all readings are within 0.1° of μ? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer:

The standard deviation would have to be 0.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem using the 68-95-99.7 rule for normal distributions:

The rule states that:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

What would the value of σ have to be to ensure that 95% of all readings are within 0.1° of μ?

This means that 2 standard deviations would need to be within 0.1 of the mean. So

2\sigma = 0.1

\sigma = \frac{0.1}{2}

\sigma = 0.05

The standard deviation would have to be 0.05.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (−8,1) and has a slope of -3/4?
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

y-1=-3/4(x+8)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept,

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-1=-3/4(x-(-8))

y-1=-3/4(x+8)
