Answer:

0.8041 = 80.41% probability that a given battery will last between 2.3 and 3.6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

A certain type of storage battery lasts, on average, 3.0 years with a standard deviation of 0.5 year

This means that \mu = 3, \sigma = 0.5

What is the probability that a given battery will last between 2.3 and 3.6 years?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 3.6 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 2.3. So

X = 3.6

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

Z = \frac{3.6 - 3}{0.5}

Z = 1.2

Z = 1.2 has a p-value of 0.8849

X = 2.3

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

Z = \frac{2.3 - 3}{0.5}

Z = -1.4

Z = -1.4 has a p-value of 0.0808

0.8849 - 0.0808 = 0.8041

0.8041 = 80.41% probability that a given battery will last between 2.3 and 3.6 years

Answer:

0,05

Step-by-step explanation:

1)First, Let’s find the mean of the data table

12 + 10 + 12 + 6 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 12 = 66

66 ÷ 8 = 8,25

2)12 - 8,25 = 3,75

10 - 8,25 = 1,25

12 - 8,25 = 3,75

6 - 8,25 = -1,75

8 - 8,25 = -0,75

4 - 8,25 = -3,75

2 - 8,25 = -5,75

12 - 8,25 = 3,75

3) 3,75 + 1,25 + 3,75 - 1,75 - 0,85 - 3,75 - 5,75 + 3,75 = 0,4

0,4 ÷ 8 = 0,05

A dictionary contains the following 9 words: two, mice, three, squeaking, the, blind, deaf, birds, rabbits. What is the probabil
IgorC [24]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is B. 1/729</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Probability of any of the nine words would be randomly cited.

Using the Laplace Rule, we calculate that probability is 1/9

2. Now let's calculate the probability of any two - word phrase in specific order from those nine in the dictionary. We should remember that the probability of occurrence of two or more statistically independent events is equal to the product of their individual probabilities. So,

1/9 * 1/9 = 1/81

3. Using the same Multiplication Rule, we can calculate the probability of a random generation of the phrase "three blind mice", in that specific order. Because there are other phrases that could be generated with those three words, but in different order.  The question was specific about the order.

1/9 * 1/9 * 1/9 = 1/729

<u>The probability of randomly generating the phrase "three blind mice" is 1/729 or 0.137%</u>

when (2x - 3)^2 is subtracted from 5x^2, what is the result? And how can I show the answer? Thank you x
Leni [432]
5x^2 - (2x - 3)^2 = 
5x^2 - ((2x - 3)(2x - 3)) =
5x^2 - (4x^2 - 6x - 6x + 9) =
5x^2 - (4x^2 - 12x + 9) =
5x^2 - 4x^2 + 12x - 9 =
x^2 + 12x - 9 <===
