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.

The triangle below is an equilateral triangle. Find yy = 10y = 180y = 7y = 13
Viktor [21]

Solution

For this case we have the following

y+3 = x = 10

Then x= 10

So we can set up this equation:

y+3 = 10

y= 7

Then the answer is:

y=7

= 26 ^3

and 4 spots where there are 10 choices each (the digits 0 through 9,  

= 10 ^4

This gives:

26^3*10^4=175,760,000
