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.

Ghella [55]

Answer:

221

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = 7 and y = 8 into the expression

5(7)² - 3(8)

= 5(49) - 24

= 245 - 24

= 221

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Emma is making two different kinds of cookies for a cookie party she will be attending. She needs 2 and 2/3 cups of sugar for the first recipe and 1 and 1/4 cups of sugar for the second recipe. Emma thinks she will have enough sugar but she isn't quite sure. She knows that her full 2 pound bag of sugar says it contains 4 and 1/2 cups of sugar. Determine the exact difference between the amount of sugar Emma has and the amount of sugar she needs for the recipes.) Emma's mom brought home another 2 pound bag of sugar (4 and 1/2 cups) and wants to make fudge to take to work. Her mom will need 2 and 1/6 cups of sugar. Write a numerical expression that could be used to determine exactly how much sugar will be left over from the two bags of sugar after Emma bakes cookies and her mom makes fudge
