Answer:

boys = 705

girls = 783

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find the number of boys and girls in the school

the answer can be determined using simultaneous equation

x = boys

y = girls

y - x = 78  equation 1

y + x  = 1488 equation 2

subtract equation 1 from 2

2x = 1410

x = 1410/2 = 705

Substitute for x in equation 1

y - 705 = 78

y = 705 + 78 = 783

Assume that human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of 98.22 degrees Upper F 98.22°F and a standard deviati
Anna35 [415]

Answer: 0.00102%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of \mu=98^{\circ}Fand a standard deviation of s=0.61^{\circ}F

A hospital uses 100.6^{\circ}F as the lowest temperature considered to be a fever.

Let x be the random variable that represents the human body temperatures.

z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{s}

For x= 100.6, z=\dfrac{100.6-98}{0.61}=4.26229508197\approx4.26

Using normal distribution table for z-values for right-tailed area ,

P(x>100.6)=P(Z>4.26)=0.0000102=0.00102\%

Hence, the required probability = 0.00102%
