The annual rainfall (in inches) in a certain region is normally distributed with µ = 40 and σ = 4. What is the probability that

starting with this year, it will take more than 10 years before a year occurs having a rainfall of more than 50 inches? What assumptions are you making?

Answer:

P( That it will take over 10 years or more of a year with a rainfall above 50inches) = (0.9938)^10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the annual rainfall is normally distributed,

Given: that

Mean (µ )= 40

and σ = 4.

Let X be normal random variables of the annual rainfall.

P(that there will be over 10 years or more before a year with a rainfall above 50 inches)

P(>50) = 1-P[X ≤50]

1 - P[X- μ/σ ≤ 50 - 40/4]

=1 - P [Z≤ 5/2]

=1 -Φ(5/2)

=1 - 0.9939

= 0.0062

P( the non occurrence of rainfall above 50 inches)

= 1-0.0062

=0.9938

ASSUMPTION:

P( That it will take over 10 years or more of a year with a rainfall above 50inches) =(0.9938)^10

HELPP ME ITS BEEN SO LONG HELP PLEASEEE HELP PLEASEE HELPP Stevie needed twine for the gifts she was wrapping for a family party
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Your answer would be:

57.75 or 57 3/4

(I will show how many of each length of twine that is on the graph)

Point 2 1/4:

2

Point 2 3/4:

4

Point 3:

1

Point 3 1/2:

2

Point 3 3/4:

3

Point 4:

1

Point 4 1/4:

4

We can show how much length in total Stevie used with the following equation:

(2 1/4 x 2) + (2 3/4 x 4) + ( 3 x 1 ) + ( 3 1/2 x 2 ) + (3 3/4 x 3 ) + (4 x 1 ) + (4 1/4 x 4)

Each smaller equation in paraphrases shows how much of each length of twine at each point with x's on the number line. Altogether it would equal 57.75 or 57 3/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Have a great rest of your day

A 40 is the lowest she can make and that would give her exactly a 70 average.
