Answer:
The z-score for this kernel is -2.3
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets revise how to find the z-score
- The rule the z-score is z = (x - μ)/σ , where
# x is the score
# μ is the mean
# σ is the standard deviation
* Lets solve the problem
- The popping-times of the kernels in a certain brand of microwave
popcorn are normally distributed
- The mean is 150 seconds
- The standard deviation is 10 seconds
- The first kernel pops is 127 seconds
- We want to find the z-score for this kernel
∵ z-score = (x - μ)/σ
∵ x = 127
∵ μ = 150
∵ σ = 10
∴ z-score = (127 - 150)/10 = -23/10 = -2.3
* The z-score for this kernel is -2.3
In a game of rock paper scissors, what are the chances that someone playing against a person playing only paper would win?
As for the answer, if you were to make a chart to show rock, paper, and scissors, you'd be able to see that there's a 2/3 chance of winning by choosing rock. With scissors, there's also a 2/3 chance to win. Now with paper, there's only a 1/3 chance to win. Knowing that the other person will only play paper, the best answers would be to choose either rock or scissors.
(there are, of course, flaws with this concept, because the opponent could be lying about playing only paper. More or less, it's a good design to show probability.)
Answer:
The answer is 18 feet squared
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 2 and three-fourths (2 3/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
11 * 1/4
1/4 = 0.25
0.25 * 11 = 2.75
.75 = 3/4
2.75 = 2 3/4
Answer:
4 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 16 ounces in a pound, so divide 64 by 16 to get the number of pounds. 64 ÷ 16 = 4 lbs
