Answer:

a) P(X

And we can find this probability using the normal standard distirbution or excel and we got:

P(z

b) P(7

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-2.5

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

a) less than 7 months.

Let X the random variable that represent the length of life of an instrument of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(12,2)  

Where \mu=12 and \sigma=2

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability using the normal standard distirbution or excel and we got:

P(z

b) between 7 and 12 months.

P(7

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-2.5

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-2.5

sergey [27]

Answer:

Let n be the number of questions you got right. Then

30-n equals the number of questions you got wrong.

So:

A) 20n-10(30-n)=180

30n-300=180

30n=480

n=16

30-n=14

B)You got <u>16</u> questions right and <u>14</u> questions wrong.

Elenna [48]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.
<span> 
it consists of a rectangle, dimensions  L = 4ft and W = 3ft = Ar = 4ft x 3ft = 12 ft^2

</span>then, you have one half of the area of the circle that has diameter  R = 3ft - radius will be r = 1.5ft the area of that half will be:

Ac = r^2 \pi/ 2
= (1.5 ft)^2 x 3.14 / 2
= 2.25 ft^2 x 3.4/2 
= 7.065 ft^2/ 2 
= 3.5325ft^2

A = Ar + Ac
A = 12ft^2 + 3.5325ft^2
A = 15.5325ft^2

<span>At the rate of $2 per square foot, the cost will be: 
$ 15.5325*2 = 31.07 </span>

Choose the function whose graph is given by:
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

D. y=\tan (x-\pi)+2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the graph of the transformed tangent function.

As, we can see that the graph is shifted 2 units upwards.

That is, the parent function is translated 2 units up.

So, the new function will be of the form, y=\tan (x)+2.

Thus, options A and C are not correct.

Moreover, 'If a function f(x) has period P, then the function cf(bx) will have period \frac{P}{|b|}.

Also, form the figure, we see that the period of the graphed function is \pi.

Since, y=\tan (x) have period \pi.

So, function in option B will have period \frac{\pi}{2}, which is not possible.

<em>Further, function in option D have period \pi.</em>

Thus, the equation of the graphed function is, y=\tan (x-\pi)+2.

The Great Lakes differ in both their areas (measured in square miles) and their depths. However these two dimensions do not keep
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The order of Great Lakes according to depth is (descending order): 1. Lake Superior 2. Lake Michigan 3.  Lake Ontario 4. Lake Huron 5. Lake Erie

Step-by-step explanation:

Lake Superior is by far the largest and deepest of the great Lakes. Lake Michigan is exceeded in depth only by Lake Superior, but it is exceeded in area by both Lakes Superior and Huron. Lake Ontario, which is the smallest in area, is deeper than both Lakes Huron and Erie. Lake Erie is larger than Lake Ontario but it is not only shallower than Huron; it is also shallower than Ontario. So, the order of Great Lakes according to depth is (descending order): 1. Lake Superior 2. Lake Michigan 3.  Lake Ontario 4. Lake Huron 5. Lake Erie

What are the lengths of sides KN and NM of the kite?<br> KN = <br> units<br> NM = <br> units
Natalka [10]
Y+10= 2y+5
10=y+5
5=y

Plug this in
(5)+10=15 for KN


2x+6=3x-1
6=x-1
7=x

Plug this value in
2(7)+6
14+6= 20 for NM
