In a certain year, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck California. In another year, a magnitude 5.8 quake struck Kansas. How many times as intense as the Kansas quake was the California quake?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The California quake was 1.34 times as intense as the Kansas quake.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many times as intense as Kansas (K) quake was the California (C) quake first, we need to find the ratio of intensity (I) between those earthquakes:

[tex] \frac{I_{C}}{I_{K}} = \frac{7.8}{5.8} = 1.34 [/tex]

Now, by multiplying the above number for the intensity of the Kansas quake we should have the intensity of the California quake:

[tex] I_{K} = 1.34*5.8 = 7.8 [/tex]

Therefore, the California quake was 1.34 times as intense as the Kansas quake.

I hope it helps you!

Suppose that mean retail price per gallon of regular grade gasoline is $3.45 with a standard deviation of $0.10 and that the retail

Lololo

%

b. What percentage of regular grade gasoline sells for between $3.35 and $3.65 per gallon (to 1 decimal)?

%

c. What percentage of regular grade gasoline sells for less than $3.55 per gallon (to 1 decimal)?

%

Answers

The percentage of regular grade gasoline sells for between $3.35 and $3.55 per gallon is 64%

The percentage of regular grade gasoline sells for between $3.35 and $3.65 per gallon is 81.5%

The percentage of regular grade gasoline sells for less than $3.55 per gallon is 84%

Given :

Mean retail price is $3.45

Standard deviation is 0.10

Empirical rule states that 99.7% of data is observed in normal distribution that lies within 3 standard deviations.

68% of data lies under 1 standard deviation

95% lies under 2 standard deviations

99.7% lies under 3 standard deviations

there are 3 standard deviations on the left and right of mean . The graph is attached below

Mean is 3.45. standard deviation is 0.1

3.45+0.1=3.55

3.45-0.1=3.35

So 3.35  and 3.55 lies under first standard deviation

The percentage between $3.35 and $3.55 is 68%

3.45 +0.1+0.1=3.65

3.35 lies on 1 standard deviation on left and 2 deviations on the right of mean

So , 34+34+13.5=81.5%

The percentage between $3.35 and $3.65 is 81.5%

For gasoline sells for less than 3.55 , there are 3 standard deviation on the left of mean and 1 standard deviation on the right

0.15+2.35+13.5+34+34=84%

A bakery sells taro, red bean and green tea pues. 65% of the pies are taro pies. 40% of the remaining pies are red bean pies. How many pies are there altogether?​

Answers

Answer: 1,800 pies in total

Step-by-step explanation:

A key detail missing is that there are 378 green tea pies.

Assuming the total number of pies is x.

65% of this is taro pies. This leaves 35% to be red bean pies and green tea pies.

If 40% of this remaining 35% are red bean pies, that means that 60% are green tea pies.

= 35% * 60%

= 21% of the total are green tea pies

There are 378 green tea pies and this is 21% of the total number of pies.

378 = 0.21 * x

x = 378 / 0.21

= 1,800 pies in total

Answer: 2%

Step-by-step explanation: Method 1

Express the ending population as a percentage of the starting population:  

127000 /129540= 1.02

1.02×100=  102%

Subtract the starting 100% to get the percent increase:

Suppose a normal distribution has a mean of 266 and a standard deviation of
12. What is P(x> 242)?
O A. 0.16
B. 0.475
C. 0.84
D. 0.975

Answers

0.975 is P(x ≥242) with a mean of 266 and standard deviation of 12

The required value of P(x> 242) = is 0.975 for normal distribution. Option D is correct.

The normal distribution has a mean of 266 and a standard deviation of

12. What is P(x> 242) is to determine.

Whata  is normal distribution?

Normal distributions can be altered to standard normal distributions by the formula:

Z = (X - μ)/σ

Where x is a value from the initial normal distribution, μ is the mean of the initial normal distribution, and σ is the standard deviation of the initial normal distribution. The standard normal distribution is periodically called the z distribution.

Now,
z = X - 266 /12
p(x > 242) = P [(X - 266)/12 ≥ (242 - 266)/12]
p(x > 242) = P [z ≥ -24/12]
p(x > 242) = P [z ≥ -2]
p(x > 242) = P [z ≤ 2]
p(x > 242) = 0.975  (from Z table).


Thus, the required value of P(x> 242) = is 0.975. Option D is correct.
