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 the probability of obtaining a reading less than -0.23°C. Round your answer to 4 decimal places P ( Z < − 0.23 ) =

Answer: P(x > - 0.23) = 0.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are assuming that the readings at freezing on a batch of thermometers are normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = the readings at freezing on a batch of thermometers.

µ = mean temperature reading

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 0°C

σ = 1.00°C

the probability of obtaining a reading less than -0.23°C is expressed as

P(x > - 0.23)

For x = - 0.23

z = (- 0.23 - 0)/1 = - 0.23

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.41

Sara watched the pump at the gas station dispense gas at a rate of ½ gallon every 3 ¼ seconds. How long will it take, in seconds
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Let us start with the time it takes for 1 gallon of gas to be dispensed. If ½ gallon takes 3 ¼ seconds, it will take double of that time for one gallon of gas. Double of 3 <span>¼</span> seconds is 6 1/8 seconds. Unit rate is 1 gallon of gas at every 6 1/8 seconds If one gallon of gas takes 6 1/8 seconds, 50 gallons will take 50 x 6 1/8 seconds. That is, 325 seconds or 5 minutes ans and 25 seconds.

How can i do this problem? "The athletic department raised $14,500 to buy new football uniforms. If each uniform costs $258, how
In-s [12.5K]
14,500/258 is 56.2015504 blah blah blah. You can't have a fifth of a uniform. I would interpret it as they have a little money left over, but they can't buy another uniform.

So your answer is 56 uniforms.

50 PTS The table represents an exponential function.
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

B: 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know this is an exponential function

y= ab^x

where a is the initial value and b is the growth rate or what we multiply by

For the first point x=1 and y = 3/2

3/2 = a b^1

3/2 = a*b

For the second  point x=2 and y = 9/8

9/8 = a b^2

Take the second equation over the first

9/8 = a b^2

-------------------

3/2 = a*b


3/4 = b

The growth rate is 3/4

That would also be know as the rate of change
