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

Now, solve this problem. 106% of $ _______ = $7.95 
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

106% of $x = $7.95

In other words,

\[\frac{106}{100}\] of $x = 7.95

Multiplying both sides of the equation by \[\frac{100}{106}\]

\[\frac{106}{100} * \frac{100}{106}\] of x = 7.95 * [\frac{100}{106}]

=> x = [\frac{750}{100}]

=> x = [\frac{7.50}{1}]

=> x = 7.5

Validation: 106% of 7.5 = 7.95

which of the diagram below represents the contrapositive of the statement if it is an equilateral triangle,then it is an isoscel
GalinKa [24]

Answer:Contrapositive of a Statement , if A then B, states that, if not B ,then not A.

In the statement given:

A= A triangle is Equilateral

B=then the triangle is Isosceles.

So,→→Contrapositive of the statement, If A, then B will be ,not B,then Not A

Not B= The triangle is not Isosceles

Then ,Not A= the triangle is not equilateral.

→→Figure A, matches with "Contrapositive of the statement “if it is an equilateral triangle, then it is an isosceles triangle”

A manufacturer is designing a flashlight. For the flashlight to emit a focused beam, the bulb needs to be on the central axis of
aalyn [17]
From the problem, the vertex = (0, 0) and the focus = (0, 3)
From the attached graphic, the equation can be expressed as:
(x -h)^2 = 4p (y -k)
where (h, k) are the (x, y) values of the vertex (0, 0)
The "p" value is the difference between the "y" value of the focus and the "y" value of the vertex.
p = 3 -0
p = 3
So, we form the equation
(x -0)^2 = 4 * 3 (y -0)
x^2 = 12y
To put this in proper quadratic equation form, we divide both sides by 12
y = x^2 / 12

Pietro made 18 baskets during a basketball game.The number of 3 pointers are 3 more than half of the 2 point shots.how many type
blagie [28]

Total points is 23

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Total number of baskets = 18

Let the number of 2 pointer shots be x

Let the number of 3 pointer shots be y

According to the question:

y = \frac{x}{2} + 3                  -1

The equation can be formed as:

\frac{x}{2} + 3 + x = 18

On solving this equation further we get:

\frac{x+6+2x}{2} = 18\\\\9x = 36\\\\x = 4

Putting the value of x = 4 in equation 1

y = \frac{x}{2}+3\\ \\y = \frac{4}{2} + 3\\\\y = 5

Points for 2 pointer shots = 4 X 2

                                        = 8

Points for 3 pointer shots = 5 X 3

                                        = 15

Total points = 8 + 15

                  = 23

Therefore, total points is 23
