Answer:

477

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of trials (n) = 500

Mean (m) = 0

Standard deviation (s) = 1

how many readings fall within +/- 2.000 deg F of the mean value

Mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1

P(-2 ≤ x ≤ 2)

Using the Z probability calculator :

P(x ≤ 2) = 0.97725 ;

P(x ≤ - 2) = 0.02275

Hence :

P(x ≤ 2) - P(x ≤ - 2) = 0.97725 - 0.02275 = 0.9545

Hence, number of readings in 500 trials:

0.9545 * 500 = 477.25

= 477 values

Which measure is the largest? 1.2 km, 120,600 cm, 1,220,000 mm, 120 meters
Margarita [4]
The first thing you should know to answer this question is the following conversions:
 1Km = 1000m
 1m = 1000mm
 1Km = 1000000mm
 1m = 100cm
 By making the conversions to the same unit, we can know what measure is greater:
 1.2Km = 1200m
 120600cm = 1206.00m
 1220000mm = 1220m
 120m = 120m
 Answer
 The biggest measure is
 1220000mm = 1220m

Find the interest for each loan. $252 at 8% for 2 years: ________ $400 at 2% for 6 months:________ $5,000 at 3.5% for 1 year:___
prisoha [69]
Hi there! I can help you! Okay. So to find the amount of interest, we have to do the formula prt. That means multiply the principal, which is the initial amount of money, the rate, which is the interest rate, and the amount of time, which is usually in years. With that being said, here is how the answers turn out.

$252, 8% for 2 years: $40.32
$400, 2% for 6 months: $4
$5,000, 3.5% for 1 year: $175
$6,240, 10% for 9 months: $468

For the months, we just convert those numbers into decimal. 6 months is 1/2 a year, so it would be 0.5 and 9 months is 3/4 of a year, so that decimal would be 0.75. All you have to do is multiply the amount of money by percentage (you can do it by decimal form) by amount of time, and you’ll be good.

If the instructions for a problem ask you to use the smallest possible domain to completely graph two periods of y = 5 + 3 cos 2
erica [24]
Hello,

y=5+3*cos (2(x-π/3))

The function is periodic with periode=2π.


-1<=cos (2(x-π/3))<=1
==>-1*3<=3*cos (2(x-π/3))<=3*1
==>5-3<=5+3cos(2(x-π/3))<=5+3
==>2<= y<=8
