Answer:

0.0326 = 3.26% probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads between −2.23 and −1.69.

The sketch is drawn at the end.

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.

Mean of 0°C and a standard deviation of 1.00°C.

This means that \mu = 0, \sigma = 1

Find the probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads between −2.23 and −1.69

This is the p-value of Z when X = -1.69 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = -2.23.

X = -1.69

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

Z = \frac{-1.69 - 0}{1}

Z = -1.69

Z = -1.69 has a p-value of 0.0455

X = -2.23

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

Z = \frac{-2.23 - 0}{1}

Z = -2.23

Z = -2.23 has a p-value of 0.0129

0.0455 - 0.0129 = 0.0326

0.0326 = 3.26% probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads between −2.23 and −1.69.

Three times the sum of a number and seven,all divided by four
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

3(x+7)/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Three times the sum of a number and 7 will be 3(x+7) because it is triple the amount of that unknown number plus seven and then after that we divide what we get from 3(x+4) and divide that by 4 which makes the equation 3(x+7)/4.

Leeza did this to solve an equation. Did she makes an error 4x=7+3(2x-5) 4x=7+6x-5
katrin [286]

Yes, there was a mistake in applying the distributive property. If you have to perform

3(2x-5)

you have to multiply both terms in the parenthesis by 3, not just the first one.

So, the correct expansion would be

3(2x-5) = 3\cdot 2x - 3 \cdot (-5) = 6x-15

If and , find .<br><br> A. <br> B. <br> C. <br> D.
trapecia [35]
Answer: option D. 2x^2 + (3/2)x  - 5

Explanation:

1) polynomials given:

 f(x) = x/2 - 2 and g(x) = 2x^2 + x - 3

2) question: find (f + g) (x)

That means that f(x) + g(x), so you have to add up the two polynomials given.

3) x/2  - 2 + 2x^2 + x - 3

4) Combine like terms:

a) terms with x^2: you only have 2x^2, so it is not combined with other term.

b) terms with x: x/2 + x

that is a sum of fractions: x/2 + x = [x + 2x] / 2 = 3x / 2 = (3/2)x

c) constant terms: - 2 + (-3) = - 2 - 3 = - 5

5) Result: 2x^2 + (3/2)x - 5

That is the option d.
