Answer:

3 3/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion a mixed number 8 1/2

to a improper fraction: 8 1/2=8×2+1/2=16+1/2=17/2

To find a new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 3. Whole number 2 equally 2×3/3= 6/

3

b) Add the answer from previous step 6 to the numerator 2. New numerator is 6 + 2 = 8

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 8) over the denominator 3.

Two and two thirds is eight thirds

Divide: 17/2×8/3=17/2×3/8=17×3/2×8= 51/

16

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of 8/3 is 3/8) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. In the following intermediate step, it cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling.

In other words - seventeen halves divided by eight thirds = fifty-one sixteenths.

Assume that the readings at freezing on a batch of thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0°C and a standard devia
lesya692 [45]

Answer: P(x > - 0.23) = 0.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are assuming that the readings at freezing on a batch of thermometers are normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = the readings at freezing on a batch of thermometers.

µ = mean temperature reading

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 0°C

σ = 1.00°C

the probability of obtaining a reading less than -0.23°C is expressed as

P(x > - 0.23)

For x = - 0.23

z = (- 0.23 - 0)/1 = - 0.23

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.41
