The body temperatures of adults are normally distributed with a mean of 98.6degrees° F and a standard deviation of 0.60degrees°

Schach [20]

Answer:

97.72% probability that their mean body temperature is greater than 98.4degrees° F.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 98.6, \sigma = 0.6, n = 36, s = \frac{0.6}{\sqrt{36}} = 0.1$

If 36 adults are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean body temperature is greater than 98.4degrees° F.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 98.4. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{98.4 - 98.6}{0.1}$

$Z = -2$

$Z = -2$ has a pvalue of 0.0228

1 - 0.0228 = 0.9772

97.72% probability that their mean body temperature is greater than 98.4degrees° F.

Esteban is reading a book with 16 pages. He has read 9 pages so far. How many pages does Esteban have left to read? Write two eq

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

7 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the total number of pages in the book are 16

The number of pages esteban already read are 9

Let the number of pages left out to read be x

Total number of pages = number of pages read + number of pages to be read

16=9+x

x=16-9

x=7 pages

Therefore There are 7 pages left out to be read.

The average American spent $8,508 on health care in 2011. The cost of health care is projected to rise about 5.8% per year for t

klio [65]

<h3>The projected amount the average American spent on health care in 2014 is $ 10075.91</h3>

Solution:

Given that,

The average American spent $8,508 on health care in 2011

The cost of health care is projected to rise about 5.8% per year for the years 2012-2022

The increasing function is given as:

$y = a(1+r)^t$

Where,

y is future value

a is initial value

r is growth rate in decimal

t is number of years

From given,

a = 8508

$r = 5.8 \% = \frac{5.8}{100} = 0.058$

t = 2011 to 2014 = 3 years

Substituting the values, we get,

$y = 8508(1 + 0.058)^3\\\\y = 8508(1.058)^3\\\\y = 8508 \times 1.1842\\\\y = 10075.914 \approx 10075.91$

Thus the projected amount the average American spent on health care in 2014 is $ 10075.91

Carl has a square table cloth with a total of 150 square feet. Which measurement is closest to the length of one side of the tab

Amanda [17]

Answer:

It will cost $190.75 to paint the whole fence.

Step-by-step explanation:

109 * 7 = 763 because Length x Width = Area

0.25 * 763 = 190.75
