Assume that the readings at freezing on a batch of thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0°C and a standard devia

tion of 1.00°C. A single thermometer is randomly selected and tested. Find P25, the 25-percentile. This is the temperature reading separating the bottom 25% from the top 75%. P25 = °C

Answer:

X \sim N(0,1)  

Where \mu=0 and \sigma=1

So then we can find in the normal standard distribution or in excel a value of Z who accumulates 0.25 of the area below and 0.75 of the area above. We can use the following excel code for example:

="NORM.INV(0.25,0,1)"

And we got = z= -0.674.

So the value of height that separates the bottom 25% of data from the top 75% is -0.674 °C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the readings at freezing of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(0,1)  

Where \mu=0 and \sigma=1

So then we can find in the normal standard distribution or in excel a value of Z who accumulates 0.25 of the area below and 0.75 of the area above. We can use the following excel code for example:

="NORM.INV(0.25,0,1)"

And we got = z= -0.674.

So the value of height that separates the bottom 25% of data from the top 75% is -0.674 °C.

You move down 1 units and up 2 units. You end at (-3,1). Where did you start? On a number graph 1 through 5 axis graph
Roman55 [17]

Let's do it step by step:

First we need to understand that moving upwards would be addition to y-coordinates, while moving downwards would be deduction to the y-coordinates.

Moving to rightwards would be addition to x-coordinates and leftwards would be deduction to x-coordinates.

As we moved down by 1 unit and up for 2 units, it means that we are originally upward for one unit and downward by 2 units, which makes downwards for 1 units and would be -1 to the y-coordinates:

(-3,1 -1)

=(-3,0)

Therefore the start would be (-3,0).

Hope it  helps!

The balance, B, in dollars, after T years of an investment that earns interest compounded annually is given by the function B(t)
faust18 [17]

Answer: I’m pretty sure it’s 4.50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Well when you divide the number (1.045) by 100 you get 4.5 and so 4.5 of 1500 would give you the balance.
