The weights of adobe bricks used for construction are normally distributed with a mean of 3 pounds and a standard deviation of 0

.25 pound. Assume that the weights of the bricks are independent and that a random sample of 28 bricks is selected. Round your answers to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654). (a) What is the probability that all the bricks in the sample exceed 2.75 pounds? (b) What is the probability that the heaviest brick in the sample exceeds 3.75 pounds?

Answer:  a) 0.8413, b) 0.9987.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean = 3 pounds

Standard deviation = 0.25 pounds

n = 28 bricks

So, (a) What is the probability that all the bricks in the sample exceed 2.75 pounds?

P(X>2.75)\\\\=P(z>\dfrac{2.75-3}{0.25}\\\\=P(z>\dfrac{-0.25}{0.25})\\\\=P(z>-1)\\\\=0.8413

b) What is the probability that the heaviest brick in the sample exceeds 3.75 pounds?

P(X>3.75)\\\\=P(z>\dfrac{3.75-3}{0.25})\\\\=P(z>\dfrac{0.75}{0.25})\\\\=P(z>3)\\\\=0.9987

Hence, a) 0.8413, b) 0.9987.

Angle A B D is a right angle, which is the measure of Angle C B D? Angle A B D is intersected by line C to form angles 75 degree
drek231 [11]

Answer:

15 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ABD is a right angle it equals 90 degrees

ABC is 75 degrees

ABC + CBD = ABD

75 + CDB = 90

Subtract 75 from each side

75-75 + CDB = 90-75

CDB = 15

The other angle is 15 degrees

What is the value of this expression if h<br> = 8,j = -1, and k<br> =<br> -12
Rashid [163]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is :

\dfrac{j^3k}{h^0}

We need to find the value of this expression when h = 8, j = -1 and k = -12.

Put all the values in the given expression.

\dfrac{j^3k}{h^0}\\\\=\dfrac{(-1)^3\times (-12)}{(8)^0}\\\\=\dfrac{-1\times -12}{1}\\\\=12

So, the value of the given expression is 12.
