Answer:

Mean = \mu = 1140

Standard deviation = \sigma = 80

Find the probabilities for the average length of life of the selected batteries.

A)The average is between 1128 and 1140.

We are supposed to fidn P(1128<x<1140)

Formula : Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

At x = 1128

Z=\frac{1128-1140}{80}

Z=-0.15

Refer the z table for p value

P(x<1128)=0.4404

At x = 1140

Z=\frac{1140-1140}{80}

Z=0

Refer the z table for p value

P(x<1140)=0.5

So,P(1128<x<1140)=P(x<1140)-P(x<1128)=0.5-0.4404=0.0596

Hence the probabilities for the average length of life of the selected batteries  is between 1128 and 1140 is 0.0596

B)The average is greater than 1152.

P(x>1152)

At x = 1128

Z=\frac{1152-1140}{80}

Z=0.15

Refer the z table for p value

P(x<1152)=0.5596

So,P(x>1152)=1-P(x<1152)=1-0.5596=0.4404

Hence the probabilities for the average length of life of the selected batteries is greater than 1152 is 0.4404

C) The average is less than 940.

P(x<940)

At x = 940

Z=\frac{940-1140}{80}

Z=-2.5

Refer the z table for p value

P(x<940)=0.5596

Hence the probabilities for the average length of life of the selected batteries is less than 940 is 0.5596

Doug sold 125 sandwiches to raise money for his boy scout troop. 80% of those sandwiches were sold in his neighborhood. How many
grigory [225]

Answer:

Doug sold 100 sandwiches in his neighborhood.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for percentage you have to first find the percentage's decimal. To find this you have to the move the decimal point up to places. This makes 80 into 0.8. After you do this you will mutiply that but the total amount. So 125 times 0.8. Once you do this you should get 100. This means that Doug sold 100 sandwiches in his neighborhood.

A seagull was flying about sea level looking to catch a fish below sea level. The elevation above sea level was 125 1/2 feet. He
frez [133]

Answer:

The seagull's position halfway is 85.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The seagull is at 125 1/2 feet above the sea level.

The fish is at 45 1/2 feet below the sea level.

The distance between the seagull and fish = seagull's distance above the sea level + fish's distance below the sea level

                                                  = 125 1/2 + 45 1/2

                                                  = \frac{251}{2} + \frac{91}{2}

                                                  = \frac{342}{2}

                                                  = 171

The distance between the seagull and fish is 171 feet.

Since the seagull stops halfway, then;

seagull's position = \frac{171}{2}

                             = 85.5

The seagull's position halfway is 85.5 feet.

What’s the answer pleazzzzz helplllllll 9m^2-4m-6 by 3m
dlinn [17]

Answer

D. 3m - 4/3 -2/m


<u>Explanation</u>

(9m²-4m-6) ÷ 3m  = 9m²/3m - 4m/3m - 6/3m

Carry out the division, each term is divided by 3m.

9m²/3m = 3m

- 4m/3m = -4/3

- 6/3m = - 2/m

Finally you will get,

<em>3m - 4/3 -2/m</em>
