Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let the number be x, and we have equation:</u>
- 16x + 2 = -7x - 21
- 16x + 7x = - 21 - 2
- 23x = - 23
- x = -1
The number is -1
Answer:
b. 2.28%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean temperatue (μ) = 1000°F
Standard Deviation (σ) = 50
°F
For any temperature value, X, the z-score is given by:
For X= 900°F

A z-score of -2.0 corresponds to the 2.28-th percentile of a normal distribution. Therefore, the probability that X<900 is:

If the temperature at 1:00 is x, then Jonestown's temperature at 3:00 is
x-10-8 (since it dropped 10 degrees then 8 more degrees)=x-18
Using x for Cooperville too, we get x-6-2 (since it drops 6 degrees then 2 more degrees) = x-8
Since -8 is greater than -18, Cooperville's temperature is warmer and Jonestown's temperature is lower aka colder<span />
