7 0

significant digits start at the first nonzero number, so 345.067 to four digits is 345.1

The answer is A.

4 0

<span>count four from the first digit to the fourth one. When you see the fourth one, look at the digit after. if it is 5+ then the fourth digit increases by one. if 5- then it stays the same. 6>5 so 0 becomes 1.

Therefore the answer is 345.1mg</span>

Answer:

If 24 items are picked at random, 8% of the time their mean life will be less than 5.156 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$
