The annual precipitation amounts in a certain mountain range are normally distributed with a mean of 91 inches, and a standard d

eviation of 14 inches. what is the probability that the mean annual precipitation during 49 randomly picked years will be less than 93.8 inches?

The sample std. dev. will be (14 inches) / sqrt(49), or (14 inches) / 7, or 2 inches.

Find the z score for 93.8 inches:
       93.8 inches - 91.0 inches          2.8 inches
z = ------------------------------------- = ----------------- = 1.4
                    2 inches                         2 inches

Now find the area under the standard normal curve to the left of z = +1.4.

My calculator returns the following:

normalcdf(-100,1.4) = 0.919.  This is the probability that the mean annual precipitation during those 49 years will be less than 93.8 inches.

A barrel of oil was filled at a constant rate of 7.9 gal/min. The barrel had 12 gallons before filling began.
jenyasd209 [6]

The equation that models this situation is z = 7.9y + 12.

A linear equation is a function that has a single variable raised to the power of 1.  An example is x = 4y + 2.

Where:

  • 2 is the constant
  • x = dependent variable
  • y = independent variable  

From the equation given, 12 would be the constant, the independent variable would be 7.9 and z would be the dependent variable.

z = 7.9y + 12

Here is the complete question: A barrel of oil was filled at a constant rate of 7.9 gal/min. The barrel had 12 gallons before filling began. write an equation in standard form to model the linear situation.

Maria calls her mother 5 times every week. Let w represent the number of weeks and c represent the total number of times Maria c
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Equation: 5w = c

Step-by-step explanation:

{ \tt{w \:  \alpha \: c}} \\ { \tt{w = kc}}

k is a constant of proprtionality

{ \tt{1 = (k \times 5)}} \\ { \tt{k =  \frac{1}{5} }}

» Therefore, equation becomes:

{ \tt{w =  \frac{1}{5}c }} \\  \\ { \boxed{ \tt{5w = c}}}

Trent hikes up a hill at 4 km/h. He hikes back down at 6 km/h. The hiking trip took 3 hours. How much time did it take Trent to
erastovalidia [21]

t = time to hike up the hill

3-t is the time to hike down the hill

 so 4t = 6(3-t)

4t = 18-6t

10t = 18

t = 18/10 = 1.8 hours to hike up the hill

1.8 hours = 1 hour 48 minutes
