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

f 98.16˚F and a standard deviation of 0.56˚F. Using Chebyshev's theorem, what do we know about the percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures that are within 2standard deviations of the mean? What are the minimum and maximum possible body temperatures that are within 2standard deviations of the mean?At least _______%of healthy adults have body temperatures within 2standard deviations of 98.16˚F.

Chebyshev’s Theorem establishes that at least 1 - 1/k²  of the population lie among k standard deviations from the mean.

This means that for k = 2,  1 - 1/4 = 0.75. In other words, 75% of the total population would be the percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures that are within 2standard deviations of the mean.

The maximum value of that range would be simply  μ + 2s, where μ is the mean and s the standard deviation. In the same way, the minimum value would be μ - 2s:

maximum = μ + 2s = 98.16˚F + 2*0.56˚F = 99.28˚F

minimum = μ - 2s = 98.16˚F - 2*0.56˚F  = 97.04˚F

In summary, at least 75% of the amount of healthy adults have a body temperature within 2 standard deviations of 98.16˚F, that is to say, a body temperature between 97.04˚F and 99.28˚F.

Answer:

225

Step-by-step explanation:

60 x 3 = 180  ($60 for each charity and there's 3 charities)

180 / (4/5) = 225  (if $180 is four fifths of his total just divide 180 by 4/5 to get the answer)

The rectangle below has an area of 70y^8+30y^6.The width of the rectangle is equal to the greatest common monomial factor of 70y
swat32

Answer:

Width 10y^6 units

Length 7y^2+3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangle has an area of 70y^8+30y^6.

The width of the rectangle is equal to the greatest common monomial factor of 70y^8 and 30y^6. Find this monomial factor:

70y^8=2\cdot 5\cdot 7\cdot y^8\\ \\30y^6=2\cdot 3\cdot 5\cdot y^6\\ \\GCF(70y^8,30y^6)=2\cdot 5\cdot y^6=10y^6

Hence, the width of the rectangle is 10y^6 units.

The area of the rectangle can be rewritten as

10y^6(7y^2+3).

The area of the rectangle is the product of its width by its length, then the length of the rectangle is 7y^2+3 units.
