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

Find the value of 9x+4y when x=4 and y=-3
jasenka [17]

Answer:

you substitute x for 4 and so you multiply 9 x 4 which will give you 36 and then you have to add four times y so you substitute y for -3 and you add 36 - 12 which will give you 24

If a graph is said to be EVEN, what can you say about its symmetry?
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

A function is said to be an even function if its graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. For example, the function f graphed below is an even function. Verify this for yourself by dragging the point on the x-axis from right to left. Notice that the graph remains unchanged after a reflection across the y-axis!
