The p-value for the z-distribution table is 0.4854.

What is  z-distribution?

A unique type of normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1 is known as the standard normal distribution, or z-distribution. By transforming the values of any normal distribution into z scores, it is possible to standardise it. Z scores provide the number of standard deviations from the mean that each value falls within.

Given that the z statistic to be 2.19 standard deviation above the population mean.

2.19 can be written as 2.1 + 0.09

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

As you know, each electron that's part of an atom has its own unique set of four quantum numbers that describes its position and spin.

This means that looking for the number of unique sets of quantum numbers is equivalent to looking for the number of electrons that can occupy the third energy level.

As you know, the number of orbitals you get per energy level is given by the equation

no. of orbitals

=

n

2

, where

n

- the principal quantum number, the ones that gives the energy level.

So, if you're dealing with the third energy level, you can say that it will contain a total of

no. of orbitals

=

3

2

=

9

distinct orbitals.

Now, each orbital can contain a maximum of

2

electrons of opposite spins. This means that the third energy level will contain a maximum number of

no. of electron

=

9

⋅

=

18 e

−

So, if each electron is described by an unique set of quantum numbers, you can conclude that

A total of 3 cups of vinegar goes into 27 total cups

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

1/4 cups of vinegar

2 cups of water

So, we have

Water : Vinegar = 2 : 1/4

Rewrite as

Water : Vinegar = 8 : 1

Multiply by 3

Water : Vinegar = 24 : 3

The sum of 24 and 3 is 27

Answer: To solve this problem, we need to set the two equations equal to each other and solve for the number of text messages that were sent by each person. We know that the cost of Jack's plan is c = 0.30t + 9 and the cost of Jill's plan is c = 0.60t. To find the number of text messages they each sent, we can set these two equations equal to each other and solve for t:

0.30t + 9 = 0.60t

0.30t = 0.60t - 9

0.30t = 0.60t - 9

-0.30t = -9

t = 30

Therefore, if Jack and Jill paid the same amount for their text plans, they each sent 30 text messages.

Answer:

X = 3, Y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x

y = -9x + 21

Bring Y and X on the same side (alone).

0 = -2x – y

-21 = -9x – y

Multiply the top equation by -1 so we can cancel out y later on (to make it easier to solve for x).

0 = 2x + y

-21 = -9x – y

Add the equations.

-21 = -7x

Divide by -7.

X = 3

Solve for Y and check.

Y = -2(3)

Y = -6

Use the other equation to make sure.

(-6) = -9(3) + 21

-6 = -27 + 21

hence :

∑x = 449

∑y = 477

∑x² = 29667

∑x⋅y = 31463

Substituting these values in the normal equations

7a+449b=477

449a+29667b=31463

Solving these two equations using Elimination method,

7a+449b=477

and 449a+29667b=31463

7a+449b=477→(1)

449a+29667b=31463→(2)

equation(1)×449

⇒3143a+201601b=214173

Substracting

⇒-6068b = -6068

⇒6068b = 6068

⇒b = 1

Putting b = 1 in equation (1), we have

7a+449(1) = 477

⇒7a = 477  - 449

⇒7a = 28 or a  = 4.

And if we solve for we got

And the answer for this case would be:

What is the Normal distribution and Z-score?

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".  

The solution to the problem

Let X be the random variable that represents the scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X ~ N (70, 9)

Where μ = 70, and σ = 9

For this case, the figure attached illustrates the situation for this case.

We know from the figure that the lower limit for D accumulates 9% or 0.09 of the area below and 0.91 or 91% of the area above.

we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

 P(X > a) = 0.91  (a)

 P(X < a) = 0.09 (b)

Both conditions are equivalent in this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see in the figure attached the z value that satisfies the condition with 0.09 of the area on the left and 0.91 of the area on the right it's z=-1.34. On this case P(Z<-1.34)=0.09 and P(z>-1.34)=0.91

If we use condition (b) from the previous we have this:

P(X < a) = P(X - μ)/σ < (a - μ)/σ) = 0.09

P(z < (a - μ)/σ) = 0.09

But we know which value of z satisfies the previous equation so then we can do this:

z = -1.34 <  (a - 70)/9

And if we solve for we got

a = 70 - 1.34 * 9 = 57.95 = 98

Hence, the value of height that separates the bottom 9% of data from the top 91% is 58.

The correct option that describes the vertical asymptote is; A: At x = negative 3, limit of f (x) as x approaches negative 3 minus = negative infinity and limit of f (x) as x approaches negative 3 plus = infinity, so there is a vertical asymptote

A vertical asymptote of a graph is defined as a vertical line x = a where the graph tends toward positive or negative infinity as the inputs approach a.

A vertical asymptote is a value of x for which the function is not defined, that is, it is a point which is outside the domain of a function;

In a graph, these vertical asymptotes are given by dashed vertical lines.

An example is a value of x for which the denominator of the function is 0, and the function approaches infinity for these values of x.

We are given the function;

f(x) = 8(x - 1)/(x² + 2x - 3)

Simplifying the denominator gives;

(x² + 2x - 3) = (x + 3)(x - 1)

Thus, our function is;

f(x) = 8(x - 1)/[(x + 3)(x - 1)]

(x - 1) will cancel out to give;

f(x) = 8/(x + 3)

where;

p = probability of "success"

n = number of trials, or the sample size

x = the number of "successes" in the probability we are trying to calculate.

A) We are told that 6 friends each buy one 12-ounce bottle of the soda at a local convenience store. Let X = the number who win a prize.

Probability of success; p = 1/5

Number of events; n = 6 which is the random variable being binomial random variable:

There are two types of accomplishments: successes and failures.

Candies are unrelated to one another.

There is a set number of buddies available.

In addition, the chance of success is fixed.

Because all of the requirements for a binomial distribution have been established, then it is a binomial probability distribution.

B) The formula for the mean here is;

μ = np

Plugging in the relevant values gives;

μ = 6(1/5) = 1.2

Formula for the standard deviation is;

σ = √(np(1 - p))

Thus;

σ = √(6 * 1/5)(1 - (1/5)))

σ = 0.6

C) The probability P(X ≥ 2) calculated with online binomial probability calculator gives;

P(X ≥ 2) = 0.34464

The height of the pile increasing when the pile is 16 feet high is 5/32 ft/min.

We are given dV/dt=10 cubic ft/min and we want to find dh/dt. Therefore, first we need to write a formula relating v and h.

V=pi*r^2*h/3  since d=h at any moment, we know that r=h/2 at any moment and if we substitute h/2 for r, we get

V=pi(h/2)^2*h/3 and if we simplify this,  we get

V=pi*(h^3)/12

Now we need to take the derivative of both sides with respect to t

dV/dt = pi * ( 3 * h^2 ) */12 * dh/dt

= pi * h^2 / 4 * dh/dt, substitute 40 for dV/dt and 16 for h and solve for dh/dt and we get

40 = pi * 16^2/4*dh/dt

dh/dt = 40 * 4 / ( 256 * pi )

= 40/(256*pi) ft/min,

= 10/64

= 5/32 ft/min

At least means less than or equal to.

Fewest means the smallest number of boxes.

12 3/4 +x ≥ 29 5/8

x ≥ 16 7/8

The fewest number of boxes would be almost ≅ 42 boxes

Part A:

Let x denote the amount of fudge at the shop.

Helena prepares 12 3/4 pounds of fudge containing nuts.

Mathematically, the total amount of fudge on Monday will be

12 3/4 +x

Of this amount of fudge  there are at least 29 5/8 pounds of fudge containing nuts at the fudge shop on Monday

12 3/4 +x ≥ 29 5/8

Part B:

The inequality can be solved

12 3/4 +x ≥ 29 5/8

x ≥ 29 5/8- 12 3/4

x ≥  29- 12     5/8- 3/4    

The whole numbers are subtracted and the fractions are solved separately to avoid long calculations.

x ≥  17  (5-6)/8

x ≥  17 - 1/8

x ≥  (136-1)/8

x ≥  (135)/8

x ≥  16 7/8

Part C :

To find the number of boxes we divide the equal number of pounds .

12 3/4 + 29 5/8

12 + 29   3/4 + 5/8

41  11/8

42 3/8

The fewest number of boxes would be almost ≅ 42 boxes
