Hi! 
1/4 of 20 pencils are 5 pencils.
Since he gave away 4 pencils,
Total = 5 + 4 = 9
Mr. Simms use and give away total 9 pencils.

A food processor packages orange juice in small jars. The weights of the filled jars are approximately normally distributed with
Ratling [72]

Answer:

P(X>10.983)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{10.983-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{10.983-10.5}{0.3})=P(z>1.61)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with excel or the normal standard table:

P(z>1.61)=1-P(z

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(10.5,0.3)  

Where \mu=10.5 and \sigma=0.3

We are interested on this probability

P(X>10.983)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>10.983)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{10.983-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{10.983-10.5}{0.3})=P(z>1.61)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with excel or the normal standard table:

P(z>1.61)=1-P(z

I'm very confused on how to do this​
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
The first number in the bracket is the x coordinate, the second is the y
So substitute the x and y in to get
8=-5(3)+1 which is 8=-14 which isnt true so the answer is no

Is 4.55 and 1.23456 a rational number
kaheart [24]

Problem

Is 4.55 and 1.23456 a rational number

Solution

4.55 can be written as:

455/100 so then it could be a rational number

For the second number we have: 1.23456

And we can write this number as:

123456/100000

So then is also ratioanl
