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.

Consider the following functions. f=[(-1,1),(1,-2),(3,-4) and g=[(5,0),(-3,4),(1,1),(-4,1)} Find (f-g)(1) =
Vilka [71]

The difference between the functions give:

(f - g)(1) = f(1) - g(1) = -3

<h3>How to find the difference between the functions?</h3>

For two functions f(x) and g(x), the difference is defined as:

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x).

Then:

(f - g)(1) = f(1) - g(1)

By looking at the given tables, we know that:

f(1) = -2

g(1) = 1

Replacing that we get:

(f - g)(1) = f(1) - g(1) = -2 - 1 = -3

Whats the answer to these? (These are called Proper fractions.)
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

1: 7/10

2: 3/10

3: 4/8 (2/4 or 1/2 if you need to simplify it)

Step-by-step explanation:

1: Convert 2/5 to tenths by multiplying the denominator and numerator by two. 3/10 plus 4/10 is 7/10

2: Convert 4/5 and 1/2 to tenths.

4/5 is going to be 8/10, 1/2 is going to be 5/10.

Subtract 5/10 from 8/10 to get 3/10

3: Convert 1/4 to eighths to get 2/8. Then add 2/8 and 2/8 to get 4/8.
