Answer: 0.0475

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = random variable that represents the number of a particular type of bacteria in samples of 1 milliliter (ml) of drinking water, such that X is normally distributed.

Given: \mu=85,\ \ \sigma=9

The probability that a given 1-ml will contain more than 100 bacteria will be:

P(X>100)=P(\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\dfrac{100-85}{9})\\\\=P(Z>1.67)\ \ \ \ [Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}]\\\\=1-P(Zz)=1-P(Z

∴The probability that a given 1-ml will contain more than 100 bacteria

0.0475.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for points through (2, -7), parallel to 7x - 4y = 18
pav-90 [236]
Y=18-7x/-4 
gradient = 7/4
parallel lines, same gradient.
y--7=7/4(x-2)
y=7x-14-28/4

Y=6x/5 +27 find y-intercept and slope
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

  1. General equation of a line is given by y = mx +c, where m is the gradient /slope, c is the intercept. To find for the intercept on y- axis, put x = 0.
  2. y =  \frac{6(0)}{5 }  + 27 \\ y =  \frac{0}{5}  + 27 \\ y = 27 \\ therefore \: the \: intercept \: on \: y \: is \: 27 \\
  3. By comparison,
  4. y =  mx +  \: c \\ y =  \frac{6}{5} x  \:  +27 \\ m =  \frac{6}{5 \: }  \: \\  hence \: slope \: is \:  \frac{6}{5}

The figure shown is created by joining three rectangles. Enter the area of the figure, in square centimeters. Round to the neare
Basile [38]

Answer:

235

Step-by-step explanation:

first, separate the floor into 3 different rectangles to calculate the area and then add them together.

area of rec=L*B

rec 1: 9*12.5=112.5

rec 2: (13.5-5.5)*(19.5-9-7)=28

rec 3:7*13.5=94.5

Then:

112.5+28+94.5=235
