Answer:

The temperature that separates the bottom 12% from the top 88% is 97.5°F.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of 98.2°F and a standard deviation of 0.62°F.

Let X = <u><em>human body temperatures</em></u>

So, X ~ Normal(\mu= 98.2,\sigma^{2} = 0.62^{2})

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                            Z  =  \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean human body temperature = 98.2°F

           \sigma = stnadard deviation = 0.62°F

Now, we have to find the temperature that separates the bottom 12% from the top 88%, that means;

        P(X < x) = 0.12       {where x is the required temperature}

        P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{x-98.2}{0.62} ) = 0.12

        P(Z < \frac{x-98.2}{0.62} ) = 0.12

Now, the critical value of x that represents the bottom 12% of the area in the z table is given as -1.1835, that is;

                    \frac{x-98.2}{0.62} = -1.1835

                    {x-98.2}= -1.1835\times 0.62

                     x = 98.2 -0.734 = 97.5°F

Hence, the temperature that separates the bottom 12% from the top 88% is 97.5°F.

2x+4y=6<br> 3x=12-6y<br> Solve by elimination
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4y = 6......reduces to x + 2y = 3

3x = 12 - 6y....reduces to x = 4 - 2y...rearranged is x + 2y = 4

so now we have :

x + 2y = 3

x + 2y = 4

ok....I dont have to go any farther to know that this has no solution because ur equations have the same slope and different y int, this means ur lines are parallel and have no solution because they never cross each others path.
