Hey there!
When we put a number in scientific notation, we want the first number to be at least 1 and less than 10. There must be a digit from 1-9 in the ones place.
With the number 0.000015, we can move the decimal place 5 places to the right and we have 1.5, which is more than one and less than ten.
Because we moved the decimal place 5 places to the right, 1.5 is multiplied by 10 to the power of -5.
The 5 is the number of places the decimal is moved, and the negative sign is because we moved it to the right.
10^(-5) is the same as 0.00001, just for context.
So, 0.000015 meters in scientific notation is 1.5 x 10^(5) meters.
Hope this helps!
Answer: 0.965
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Water use in the summer is normally distributed with


Let X be the random variable that represents the quantity of water required on a particular day.
Z-score : 

Now, the probability that a day requires more water than is stored in city reservoirs is given by:-

We can see that on comparing the above value to the given P(X > 350)= 1 - P(Z < b) , we get the value of b is 0.965.
Do you know how to do it on your calculator?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The basic cost of the Snout is 45.99
15% of that amount = 45.99*15/100 = <u> 6.90</u>
Total Cost 52.89
You could figure out the total cost a slightly different way.
You could set up
Cost = snout (1 + 15%)
Cost = snout(1 + 15/100)
Cost = snout( 1 + 0.15)
Cost = 45.99(1.15)
Cost = 52.89
Answer: Choice B
12.5 < x < 18.9
================================================
Explanation:
We have a triangle with these side lengths:
- a = 10
- b = 16
- c = x = unknown
Let's assume that b = 16 is the largest side of this triangle.
By the converse of the pythagorean theorem, we need
to be true in order for an acute triangle to happen.
So,

Now let's consider the possibility that the missing side x is actually the longest side.
Using the same theorem as before, we would say,

We found that x > 12.5 and x < 18.9
This is the same as saying 12.5 < x and x < 18.9
Put together, they form the approximate answer of 12.5 < x < 18.9
