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.

I’m not sure how to solve “system of equations”
natka813 [3]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

(2, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x + y = -6

4x + 3y = 2

We can begin by setting the first equation equal to y:

-2x + y = -6

Add 2x to both sides:

y = 2x - 6

Plug this equation for y into the second equation:

4x + 3(2x - 6) = 2

Distribute:

4x + 6x - 18 = 2

Combine like terms:

10x = 20

x = 2

Plug the value of 'x' into an equation to solve for 'y':

-2(2) + y = -6

-4 + y = -6

y = -2

Therefore, the solution is (2, -2)

What is the following sum4/5+2/5
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

6/5 or 1 1/5

Edit:

soo

4\sqrt{5} + 2\sqrt{5} = 6\sqrt{5}

since they both are being multipled to the square root of 5, you can just add them (i think)

Step-by-step explanation:

6 times the square root of 5

you add 4 and 2
