Answer:

19.74% of temperatures are between 12.9°C and 14.9°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 16.3, \sigma = 2

What proportion of temperatures are between 12.9°C and 14.9°C?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 14.9 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 12.9.

X = 14.9

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{14.9 - 16.3}{2}

Z = -0.7

Z = -0.7 has a pvalue of 0.2420

X = 12.9

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{12.9 - 16.3}{2}

Z = -1.7

Z = -1.7 has a pvalue of 0.0446

0.2420 - 0.0446 = 0.1974

19.74% of temperatures are between 12.9°C and 14.9°C

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form.
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Consider points (0, -5) and (-6, -1)

» General equation of a line:

{ \tt{y = mx + c}}

  • m is slope
  • c is y-intercept

<u> </u><u>S</u><u>l</u><u>o</u><u>p</u><u>e</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>m</u><u>)</u><u>:</u>

{ \tt{m =  \frac{ - 1 - ( - 5)}{ - 6 - 0} }} \\  \\ { \tt{m =  \frac{4}{ - 6} }} \\  \\ { \tt{m =  -  \frac{2}{3} }}

<u> </u><u>y</u><u>-</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>t</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>c</u><u>e</u><u>p</u><u>t</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>c</u><u>)</u><u>:</u>

{ \tt{y = mx + c}}

consider point (0, -5)

{ \tt{ - 5 = c}} \\ { \tt{c =  - 5}}

Equation:

{ \boxed{ \tt{y =  -  \frac{2}{3} x - 5}}}

Find the area and perimeter.
DanielleElmas [232]

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 12 + x + 6 + 2x + 5

Perimeter = 3x + 23.

Area = ½ × b × h

Area = ½ × 12 × (x + 6)

Area = 6(x + 6)

Area = 6x + 36
