This is my honest opinion

Science is not just facts. Science, to me, is full of theories and hypotheses that can be proved wrong. Yes, a majority of it is actually factual, but in the future it may or may not be true.

I hope it helps.

Answer:
(assuming this isn't actually for math?) but one reason is bc science shouldn't be always taken as fact. science can be wrong.

Explanation:
not all but many scientists are skeptical and won't accept anything without proof, and even when things are accepted as right they can still be wrong later. example: humans once believed the planets revolved around the earth and that the earth was flat (even, some people still believe the earth is flat today....) but both those things are generally unaccepted today.

science shouldn't be viewed as fact always, because accepting everything as fact will lead to misassumptions and false information. it's like we should never take things for granted

www.g The physical plant at the main campus of a large state university recieves daily requests to replace fluorescent lightbulb

damaskus [11]

Answer:

$z=\frac{24-40}{8}=-2$

$z=\frac{40-40}{8}=0$

And then the percentage between 24 and 40 would be $\frac{95}{2}= 47.5 \%$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we have the following parameters given:

$\mu = 40, \sigma =8$

And for this case we want to find the percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 24 and 40.

From the empirical rule we know that we have 68% of the values within one deviation from the mean, 95% of the values within 2 deviations and 99.7% within 3 deviations.

We can find the number of deviations from themean for the limits with the z score formula we got:

$z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

And replacing we got:

$z=\frac{24-40}{8}=-2$

$z=\frac{40-40}{8}=0$

And then the percentage between 24 and 40 would be $\frac{95}{2}= 47.5 \%$
