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

Montano1993 [528]

The books are $5, and the magazines are $10. I’m not sure which way you want it explained but since magazines are twice the price of books, you can solve the equation 3b + 2b = 25. This gives you b=5 which you just multiply by 2 giving you the price of a magazine.

5x-8y=40 what is the x intercept
Artist 52 [7]
Hello! The x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis when y = 0. We already have the expression shown. We will plug in 0 as y to get this:

5x - 8(0) = 40.

As you probably know, anything times 0 is 0, so -8 * 0 is 0. All we have is 5x = 40. Divide each side by 5 to isolate the x. 5x/5 cancels out. 40/5 is 8. There. x = 8. The x-intercept is (8, 0).
