Answer:

19.77% of average city temperatures are higher than that of Cairo

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 19.7, \sigma = 2

What percentage of average city temperatures are higher than that of Cairo?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 21.4.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{21.4 - 19.7}{2}

Z = 0.85

Z = 0.85 has a pvalue of 0.8023

1 - 0.8023 = 0.1977

19.77% of average city temperatures are higher than that of Cairo

pentagon [3]
23° 20' 48" in degrees

Minutes are 1/60 of a degree and seconds 1/60 of a minute.

Let's convert the 48" to minutes.
48/60 = 0.8

23° 20' 48" ⇒ 23° 20.8'

Let's convert the 20.8' to degrees.
20.8/60 ≈ 0.3466667

23° 20.8' ⇒ 23.35°

Rich is driving from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh at 70 mph and Michelle is driving from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia at 65 mph. If
Sliva [168]
Let:
Philadelphia be point a
Pittsburgh be point b
Distance traveled by Michelle be x
Distance traveled by Rich be 305 x

The general formula is:
distance = velocity (time)

substituting the values:
michelle: X = 65(t)
rich: 305 - X = 70 t

substituting both equations gives:
X = 146.562 miles

t = 2.26 hours or 2 hours and 15 mins
