Answer:

0.9772 = 97.72% probability that a randomly generated value of X is greater than a randomly generated value of Y

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

\mu_X = 45, \sigma_X = 4, \mu_Y = 35, \sigma_Y = 3

What is the probability that a randomly generated value of X is greater than a randomly generated value of Y

This means that the subtraction of X by Y has to be positive.

When we subtract two normal variables, the mean is the subtraction of their means, and the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of their variances. So

\mu = \mu_X - \mu_Y = 45 - 35 = 0

\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma_X^2+\sigma_Y^2} = \sqrt{25} = 5

We want to find P(X > 0), that is, 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0. So

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

Z = \frac{0 - 10}{5}

Z = -2

Z = -2 has a pvalue of 0.0228

1 - 0.0228 = 0.9772

0.9772 = 97.72% probability that a randomly generated value of X is greater than a randomly generated value of Y

14 is the GCF of anumber M and 210. What are possible values of M?
Cloud [144]
<span>14 = GCF of M and 210
M = possible values

GCF = Greatest common denominator
Now, let’s start decomposing
=> 210 | 2
=> 105 | 2
=>  35 | 5
=> 7 | 7
=> 1

Thus, 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210

Now let’s find the factors of 14
=> 14 | 2
=> 7 | 7
=> 1

Thus, 2 x 7 = 14

Notice that’s there’s no 14 in 210 shown factors, but the only GCF found is 7.
Thus, the value of M that we’re looking for is infinite. All numbers that has the GCF of 7 are applicable.</span>

1) write a system on equations with the solution (2, -3). Work the problem out using the substitution method
solmaris [256]

The system of the equations that have the solution of (2, -3) are given below.

3x + 2y = 0 and 3y = 2x - 13

<h3>What is the linear system?</h3>

A Linear system is a system in which the degree of the variable in the equation is one. It may contain one, two, or more than two variables.

Write a system of equations with the solution (2, -3).

From a single point, an infinite number of lines pass through this point.

Let one line is passing through the origin. Then the equation of the line will be

\rm y  = \dfrac{-3}{2} (x)\\\\y = -1.5x

And the other line is perpendicular to the line which is passing through the origin and a point (2, -3).

\rm y = \dfrac{2}{3} x + c

Then this line also passes through a point (2, -3). Then the value of c will be

\rm -3 = \dfrac{2}{3} \times 2 + c\\\\c \ \  = -13

Then the equation of the line will be

3y = 2x -13
