According to records, the amount of precipitation in a certain city on a November day has a mean of 0.10 inches; with a standard deviation of 0.05m inches.

What is the probability that the mean daily precipitation will be 0.09 inches or less for a random sample of 40 November days (taken over many years)?

Probability that the mean daily precipitation will be 0.09 inches or less for a random sample of 40 November days is 0.103.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that according to records, the amount of precipitation in a certain city on a November day has a mean of 0.10 inches; with a standard deviation of 0.05 inches.

A random sample of 40 November days is taken(taken over many years).

Let $\bar X$ = sample mean daily precipitation

The z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean = 0.10 inches

$\sigma$ = population standard deviation = 0.05 inches

n = sample of days = 40

Now, the probability that the mean daily precipitation will be 0.09 inches or less is given by = P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 0.09 inches)

P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 0.09 inches) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ $\leq$ $\frac{0.09-0.10}{\frac{0.05}{\sqrt{40} } }$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -1.265) = 1 - P(Z < 1.265)

= 1 - 0.8971 = 0.1029

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.265 from the z table which will lie between x = 1.26 and x = 1.27 which has an area of 0.89617 and 0.89796 respectively.

Hence, the probability that the mean daily precipitation will be 0.09 inches or less for a random sample of 40 November days is 0.103.

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
