The Precision Scientific Instrument Company manufactures thermometers that are supposed to give readings of o°C at the freezing point of water. Tests on a large sample of these thermometers reveal that at the freezing point of water, some give readings below O°C (denoted by negative numbers) and some give readings above O C (denoted by positive numbers). Assume that the mean reading is 0°C and the standard deviation of the readings is 1.00°C. Also assume that the frequency distribution of errors closely resembles the normal distribution. A thermometer is randomly selected and tested. A quality control analyst wants to examine thermometers that give readings in the bottom 4%. Find the temperature reading that separates the bottom 4% from the others. Round to two decimal places. A. -1.48B.-1.89 C. -1.63 D. -1.75

Answers

Answer 1

Solution :

It is given that the Precision Scientific Instrument company Manufactures thermometers that provide readings at 0 degree Celsius for the freezing point of water.

A quality control analyst examines the thermometers which provide readings in the bottom of 4%.

Using the standard normal table, we get

P(z < z) = 4%

P(z < z) = 0.04

See the probability of 0.04 in the standard normal corresponding to the z-value is = -1.75

Therefore,

P(z < -1.75) = 0.04

z = -1.75

So the temperature reading that separates the bottom of 4% from the other thermometers is - 1.75°C

Therefore correct option is (D). -1.75

I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST! A parabola opening up or down has vertex (0,3) and passes through (4,7). Write its equation in vertex form.

Answers

Ok...so we have this........

y = ax2 + 4      ....... and we need to find "a"

So we have

-1 = a(-10)2 + 4

-5 = a (100)

(-1/20) = a      .......  So we have ..........

y = (-1/20)(x- 0)2 + 4   or just  (-1/20)x2 + 4

Note that this parabola opens downward...That makes sense since the vertex is above the x axis and the parabola passes through a point below the x axis.

The Slow Ball Challenge: There will be 9 pitches, each at 60 mph. Diego estimates that he will hit each individual pitch 95% of the time. If Diego can hit all 9 pitches, he will win a total of $45; otherwise he will lose $10. The Fast Ball Challenge: There will be 4 pitches, each at 90 mph. Diego estimates that he will hit each individual pitch 60% of the time. If Diego can hit all 4 pitches, he will win a total of $80; otherwise he will lose $20. Show Proof of which challenge he should play and why?

Answers

Answer:

He should play the Slow Ball Challenge

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of pitches = 9 pitches

The speed of the 9 pitches = 60 mph

The percentage of the time Diego estimates he can each pitch = 95%

P = 0.95

The amount Diego will win if he can hit all 9 pitches = $45

The amount he will loose = $10

The Fast Ball challenge

The number of pitches =  4 pitches

The speed of the 4 pitches = 90 mph

The percentage of the time Diego estimates he can each pitch = 60%

The amount Diego will win if he can hit all 4 pitches = 60 %

The amount he will loose = $20

For the Slow Ball challenge, we have;

The probability that he hits all 9 pitches and wins the $45, is given by the binomial probability distribution as follows;

P(X) = ₙCₓ · Pˣ ·(1 - P)ⁿ⁻ˣ

Therefore, we get;

P(X) = ₉C₉ · P⁹ ·(1 - P)⁹⁻⁹ = 1 × 0.95⁹ ≈ 0.63025

The probability that he losses the $45 = 1 - P(X) ≈ 1 - 0.63 = 0.36975

The expected value = 0.63025 × 45 - 0.36975 × 10 ≈ 24.66375

The expected value ≈ 24.66375

For the Fast Ball challenge, we have;

The probability that he hits all 4 pitches and wins the $80, is given by the binomial probability distribution as follows;

P(X) = ₙCₓ · Pˣ ·(1 - P)ⁿ⁻ˣ

Therefore, we get;

P(X) = ₄C₄ · P⁴ ·(1 - P)⁴⁻⁴ = 1 × 0.6⁴ ≈ 0.1296

The probability that he losses the $80 stake = 1 - P(X) ≈ 1 - 0.1296 = 0.8704

The expected value = 0.1296 × 80 - 0.8704 × 20 ≈ -7.04

The expected value ≈ -7.04.

Given that the expected value for the Fast Ball Challenge is lesser than the expected value for the Slow Ball Challenge, Diego should play the Slow Ball Challenge.

Answers

Applying the Pythagorean theorem, we have ΔPQR ≅ ΔABC. then we would have: ∠ACB = ∠PRQ = 90°

What is the Pythagroean Theorem?

The pythagorean theorem states that the square of the longest side (hypotenuse) of a right triangle is always equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (legs) of the right triangle.

Since we know that ΔPQR is a right triangle, then:

x² + y² = PQ²

We are also given that x² + y² = z², so by substitution, we have:

z² = PQ², which makes both triangles have corresponding congruent sides. Therefore, ΔPQR ≅ ΔABC.

Using the corresponding parts of the congruent triangles, we can conclude that: ∠ACB = ∠PRQ = 90°.

Step-by-step explanation:

to round off to the nearest hundred thousand, look at thousand figure - If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero

to be rounded off to 500,000, it means that the thousand figure has to be between 50,000 - 99,000

What is tip would you give to your waiter if your bill was $56.50 and the tip is 20% of the bill

Answers

$11.30

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the 20% to an actual number that can be used in a calculation.

For percents, this is always done by simply dividing the percent (in this case 20%) by 100%.

So, the conversational term "20%" becomes 20% / 100% = 0.20 in terms of a real mathematical number.

Second, you need to find out what 20% of your $56.50 meal cost is. This is always done by multiplying 0.20 by $56.50, or

0.20 x $56.50 = $11.30

So, the amount of tip you are going to leave is $11.30.

This makes the total cost of your meal (to write on your charge slip or other payment)

$56.50 + $11.30 = $67.80.
