Given:
1/2 loaf of bread
3 friends

1/2 ÷ 3 ⇒ 1/2 * 1/3 = 1*1 / 2*3 = 1/6

In dividing fractions, get the reciprocal of the divisor and multiply it to the dividend

If you get a sneak peak at the salary list of your job and realize you are in the lowest bracket, which is the lowest 1%, what i
hoa [83]

Answer:

z=-2.33

And if we solve for a we got

a=48000 -2.33*5500=35185

And for this case the answer would be 35185 the lowest 1% for the salary

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the salary, and for this case we can assume that the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(48000,5500)  

Where \mu=48000 and \sigma=5500

And we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.99   (a)

P(X   (b)

We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.01 of the area on the left and 0.99 of the area on the right it's z=-2.33. On this case P(Z<-2.33)=0.01 and P(z>-2.33)=0.99

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=-2.33

And if we solve for a we got

a=48000 -2.33*5500=35185

And for this case the answer would be 35185 the lowest 1% for the salary

The lengths of bolts in a batch are distributed normally with a mean of 3 cm and a standard
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

0.8413 = 84.13% probability that a bolt has a length greater than 2.96 cm.

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 3 cm and a standard deviation of 0.04 cm.

This means that \mu = 3, \sigma = 0.04

What is the probability that a bolt has a length greater than 2.96 cm?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 2.96. So

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

Z = \frac{2.96 - 3}{0.04}

Z = -1

Z = -1 has a p-value of 0.1587.

1 - 0.1587 = 0.8413

0.8413 = 84.13% probability that a bolt has a length greater than 2.96 cm.

Wastewater is filling barrels at the rate of 11 quarts per hour. The recycling facility picks up 120 full barrels on each trip,
Tpy6a [65]
11×24=quarts per day. That's 264.
264/12=full barrels per day. That's 22.
120/22=frequency of pick ups. That's 5.45. So the barrels get picked up every 5 and a half days.
