Answer:

0% probability of getting a mean temperature of 98.2 degrees F or lower.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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 problem, we have that:

\mu = 98.6, \sigma = 0.62, n = 106, s = \frac{0.62}{\sqrt{106}} = 0.06

Find the probability of getting a mean temperature of 98.2 degrees F or lower.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 98.2. So

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

Z = \frac{98.2 - 98.6}{0.06}

Z = -6.67

Z = -6.67 has a pvalue of 0.

So there is a 0% probability of getting a mean temperature of 98.2 degrees F or lower.

What is special about the y coordinate that goes with the x coordinate of 1 on a proportional graph
hram777 [196]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

There is a two-dimensional numbers line in a coordinate plane, which has a horizontal line x-axis, and the vertical line is known as the y-axis. These lines intersect each other at zero points, and they are perpendicular. Zero points are known as the origin. The axes divide the plane into  quadrants.

A point in the coordinate plane is of the form of (x, y). This point is named as ordered pair; the first number is from the x coordinate, and the second number from the y coordinate.

To make a graph, we draw a dot, starting from the origin, at the coordinate that communicates to the ordered pair. The y coordinates describe how many steps to move up or down ( positive or negative), and x coordinates tell us to move right or left ( positive or negative).

The completeness property for points describes:

Exactly one point in the plane given  the number of ordered pair

And

Exactly one ordered pair of numbers at a given point in the plane.

A relation is ordered pairs; the x coordinates are known as domain, and the y coordinate is known as the range.

The domain contains the value that corresponds to the independent variable and the range equal to the dependent variable.

enyata [817]

Answer: 2/5

Step-by-step explanation: How I got this answer is that 4/5 of George's collection are flags right?  So I divided 4/5 by 2 to get 0.4 or 2/5.  Hope this helps!!
