Answer:

The 90th percentile of the distribution is 6.512 ml.

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 6 milliliters (ml) and a standard deviation of 0.4 ml.

This means that \mu = 6, \sigma = 0.4

Find the dye amount that represents the 90th percentile (i.e. 90%) of the distribution.

This is X when Z has a p-value of 0.9, so X when Z = 1.28. Then

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

1.28 = \frac{X - 6}{0.4}

X - 6 = 1.28*0.4

X = 6.512

The 90th percentile of the distribution is 6.512 ml.

If a bucket holds 2 2/4 gallons of water. And the bucket is 5/8 full. how full is the bucket
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Multiply 2 2/4 by 5/8.

First, simplify 2 2/4 to 2 1/2.

Then, convert to improper form (5/2).

5/2 x 5/8 = 25/16

answer: 1 9/16 gallons of water

Line p has a slope of -7/8
Alik [6]

Answer:

The slope of line q is -\frac{7}{8}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that line p has a slope of -\frac{7}{8}, and that line p and line q are parallel. Parallel lines always have the same slope. Thus, the slope of line q must be -\frac{7}{8} as well.

. Here is an equation 2x + 9 = -15. Write three different equations that have the same solution as 2x + 9 = -15. Show or explain
Anettt [7]

Answer:

1. x-3=-15
2.2x=-24
3.2x-3=-27

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

2x+9=-15

To find three equations that have the same solution as the given equation we have to first solve the equation.

2x+9=-15
9-9=0
-15-9=-24
2x=-24
2x\div2=x
-24\div2=-12
x=-12

<u>Equation one:</u>
x-3=-15
-3+3=0
-15+3=-12
x=-12

<u>Equation two:
</u>2x=-24
2x\div2=x
-24\div2=-12
x=-12

<u>Equation three:</u>
2x-3=-27
-3+3=0
-27+3=-24
-24\div2=-12
x=-12

Hope this helps.
