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.

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

To solve the above problem we will use the unitary method as follows

As estimated  If £ 3 is equivalent to € 4

Then, £ 1 will be equivalent to = € \frac{4}{3}

£ 64.60 will be equivalent to = € \frac{4}{3} \times 64.60 = 1.3333 \times 64.60 = 86.1311

Now you have to round the answer up to 2 decimal points to get the final answer

€ 86.1311 ≈ € 86.13

Thus, £ 64.60 is approximately equal to  € 86.13.

lord [1]

Answer:

Ok so we are trying to find out how much flour she used to make brownies so we already know that she used 1/2 flour to make bread and She uses 1/8 flour less flour to make bread than to make cookies so if we add 1/2 and 1/8 we will get the amount of flour she used to make the cookies so 1/2 + 1/8 = 5/8 so now that we have the amount of flour she used to make the cookies  we know that that is 1/4 more flour than brownies so if we subtract 5/8 by 1/4 we will get are answer to how much flour she uses to make brownies so 5/8 - 1/4 = 3/8 and that's your answer do you understand?
