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.

Ivan used coordinate geometry to prove that quadrilateral EFGH is a square.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

(A)Segment EF, segment FG, segment GH, and segment EH are congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>

Quadrilateral EFGH with points E(-2,3), F(1,6), G(4,3), H(1,0)

<u>Step 2</u>

Using the distance formula

Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Given E(-2,3), F(1,6)

|EF|=\sqrt{(6-3)^2+(1-(-2))^2}=\sqrt{3^2+3^2}=\sqrt{18}=3\sqrt{2}

Given F(1,6), G(4,3)

|FG|=\sqrt{(3-6)^2+(4-1)^2}=\sqrt{3^2+3^2}=\sqrt{18}=3\sqrt{2}

Given G(4,3), H(1,0)

|GH|=\sqrt{(0-3)^2+(1-4)^2}=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-3)^2}=\sqrt{18}=3\sqrt{2}

Given E (−2, 3), H (1, 0)

|EH|=\sqrt{(0-3)^2+(1-(-2))^2}=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(3)^2}=\sqrt{18}=3\sqrt{2}

<u>Step 3</u>

Segment EF ,E (−2, 3), F (1, 6)

Slope of |EF|=\frac{6-3}{1+2} =\frac{3}{3}=1

Segment GH, G (4, 3), H (1, 0)

Slope of |GH|= \frac{0-3}{1-4} =\frac{-3}{-3}=1

<u>Step 4</u>

Segment EH, E(−2, 3), H (1, 0)

Slope of |EH|= \frac{0-3}{1+2} =\frac{-3}{3}=-1

Segment FG, F (1, 6,) G (4, 3)

Slope of |EH| =\frac{3-6}{4-1} =\frac{-3}{3}=-1

<u>Step 5</u>

Segment EF and segment GH are perpendicular to segment FG.

The slope of segment EF and segment GH is 1. The slope of segment FG is −1.

<u>Step 6</u>

<u>Segment EF, segment FG, segment GH, and segment EH are congruent. </u>

The slope of segment FG and segment EH is −1. The slope of segment GH is 1.

<u>Step 7</u>

All sides are congruent, opposite sides are parallel, and adjacent sides are perpendicular. Quadrilateral EFGH is a square
