The amount of gasoline sold each month to customers at Bob's Exxon station in downtown Navasota is a random variable. This rando

m variable can be described as having a normal distribution with mean 2500 gallons and a standard deviation of 200 gallons (and there is no seasonal variation in sales). Exxon will give Bob an all-expense paid trip to College Station, including a free dinner at Burger King, if his station pumps more than 2800 gallons in any one month.
What is the probability that Bob will win that wonderful trip on the basis of his gasoline sales this month?

Answer:

The probability that Bob will win that wonderful trip on the basis of his gasoline sales this month

P(X≥ 2800) = P(Z₁≥1.5) = 0.0768

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

Mean of the Population (μ) = 2500 gallons

Standard deviation of the population (σ) =200 gallons

Let 'X' be a random variable in Normal distribution

Given X = 2800

Z = \frac{x-mean}{S.D} = \frac{2800-2500}{200} = 1.5

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

The probability that Bob will win that wonderful trip on the basis of his gasoline sales this month

P(X≥ 2800) = P(Z₁≥1.5)

                  = 0.5 - A(Z₁)

                 =  0.5 - A(1.5)

                 =   0.5 -0.4232    ( from normal table)

                = 0.0768

<u><em>Conclusion</em></u>:-

The probability that Bob will win that wonderful trip on the basis of his gasoline sales this month

P(X≥ 2800) = P(Z₁≥1.5) = 0.0768

8. Is the following statement true or false? Justify your conclusion. If a and b are nonnegative real numbers and a + b =0, then
atroni [7]

Answer:

If a + b = 0 then a = 0 and b =0

a  | b | a + b (answer)

0 | 0 | 0

0 | 1  | 1

0 | 2 | 2

1  | 0 | 1

2 | 0 | 2

1  | 1  | 2

2 | 1  | 3

 

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the following conditions for the real numbers:

a\geq 0\\b\geq 0

Following the rules of these in-equations, it is possible to deduce:

a + b \geq 0

Then, if the proposed statement is:

a + b = 0

The conditions above shall comply the requirements established, but first, analyzing the statement:

If a \geq 0 and b \geq 0 then a + b \geq a, a + b \geq b and a + b \geq 0.

If a = 0 and b a non negative real number, then a + b \geq b, but because to a = 0, then a + b = b. Due to the commutative property of sums, the same behavior will be presented if b = 0 and a a non negative real number.

According to that, if  a + b = 0, then a = 0 and b = 0.

Tara is the editor of the school newspaper. She tries to devote about 1/2 of the paper to news, 1/3 to pictures, and the remaind
Klio2033 [76]
5/6 of the paper is devoted to news and pictures

first I made the fraction have equal denominators which was 6 by doing that I multiplyed the numerator and the denominator

1/2
1×3=3
2×3=6
therefore 1/2 being equivalent to 3/6


1/3
1×2=2
3×2=6
therefore 1/3 being equivalent to 2/6

now you would be able to add the numerators, so 2+3=5
therefore being 5/6 of the paper is devoted to news and pictures
