The highest recorded temperature during the month of July for a given year in Death Valley, California has an approximately norm

al distribution with a mean of 123.8 degrees Fahrenheit and standard deviation of 3.1 deg. F (Weather Source, 2009). What is the probability for a given year that the temperature never exceeds 120 deg. F in a given July in Death Valley? Include leading zero, and state your answer to 3 decimal places.

Answer:

P(X

And we can find this probability using excel or the normal standard tabe and we got:

P(z

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 temperatures of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(123.8,3.1)  

Where \mu=123.8 and \sigma=3.1

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability using excel or the normal standard tabe and we got:

P(z

There are 9 red gum balls, 5 green gum balls, 8 yellow gum balls, and 8 blue gum balls in a machine. find p(green, then yellow).
creativ13 [48]
The correct answer is choice D.  To find this you will find the probability of each event happening and then multiply them together.

Green: 5/30
Yellow: 8/29 (you subtract one from the denominator because you already picked a green the first time)

5/30 x 8/29 = 40/870

Find the first four nonzero terms of the taylor series about 0 for the function f(x)=x4sin(6x). note that you may want to find t
ziro4ka [17]

The quickest way to get the series is if you already know the series for sine:

\sin6x=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(-1)^n(6x)^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}

Then just multiply the series by x^4 to get

f(x)=x^4\sin6x=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(-1)^n6^{2n+1}x^{2n+5}}{(2n+1)!}

The first four nonzero terms are simply the first four terms:

6x^5-\dfrac{6^3}{3!}x^7+\dfrac{6^5}{5!}x^9-\dfrac{6^7}{7!}x^{11}

1. A rectangular swimming pool measures 12 cm by 15 cm. What is the area of the pool?
igomit [66]

1) 180 square cm

Answer:

2) 41 cubic cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

Area of pool = 12 * 15 = 180 square cm

2) Volume of water = 1/3 * Volume of pool

= 1/3 *123

= 41 cubic cm
