Answer:  4.44 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A is the event that machine a will break down,

A' is the event that machine a will not break down,

B is the event that machine b will break down,

And, B' is the event that machine will not break down.

According to the question,

P(A) = 2%

⇒ P(A) = 0.02

P(A') = 1 - 0.02 = 0.98

Similarly, P(B) = 0.025

⇒ P(B') = 1 - 0.025 = 0.975

Thus, the probability that exactly one machine will break down on a given day = P(A) × P(B') + P(A') × P(B)

= 0.02 × 0.975 + 0.98 × 0.025

= 0.044

= 4.44 %

According to a random sample taken at 12​ A.M., body temperatures of healthy adults have a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

There are 89% of healthy adults with body temperatures that are within 3 standard deviations of the​ mean

The minimum value that is within 3 standard deviations of the mean is 96.57.

The maximum value that is within 3 standard deviations of the mean is 100.11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chebyshev's theorem states that a minimum of 89% of the values lie within 3 standard deviation of the mean.

So

Using​ Chebyshev's theorem, what do we know about the percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures that are within 3 standard deviations of the​ mean?

There are 89% of healthy adults with body temperatures that are within 3 standard deviations of the​ mean.

What are the minimum and maximum possible body temperatures that are within 3 standard deviations of the​ mean?

We have that the mean \mu is 98.34 and the standard deviation \sigma is 0.59. So:

Minimum

Mi = \mu - 3\sigma = 98.34 - 3(0.59) = 96.57

Maximum

Ma = \mu + 3\sigma = 98.34 + 3(0.59) = 100.11
