a) Z = 2.57

This country emmits 2.57 standard deviations above the mean of the emissions of the countries of this group of nations.

b) Z = -3.1

This country emmits 3.1 standard deviations below the mean of the emissions of the countries of this group of nations.

c) Z = 0.19

This country emmits 0.19 standard deviations above the mean of the emissions of the countries of this group of nations.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 8.7, \sigma = 2.1$

a. One country's observation was 14.1. Find its z-score and interpret.

Here we have X = 14.1

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{14.1 - 8.7}{2.1}$

Z = 2.57

This country emmits 2.57 standard deviations above the mean of the emissions of the countries of this group of nations.

b. Another country's observation was 2.2. Find its z-score and interpret.

Here we have X = 2.2

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{2.2 - 8.7}{2.1}$

Z = -3.1

This country emmits 3.1 standard deviations below the mean of the emissions of the countries of this group of nations.

c. A third country's observation was 9.1. Find its z-score and interpret.

Here we have X = 9.1

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{9.1 - 8.7}{2.1}$

Z = 0.19

This country emmits 0.19 standard deviations above the mean of the emissions of the countries of this group of nations.

Answer from: Quest

(2x + 16) + (x) = 180

step-by-step explanation:

given,

abcd is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle

angle a is labeled x plus 16, (x + 16)

angle b is labeled x degrees, (x)

angle c is labeled 6x minus 4, (6x – 4)

angle d is labeled 2x plus 16, (2x + 16)

what equation can be used to solve for angle b?

we know that the sum of the opposite angles of a simple quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is 180 degrees.

angle b is opposite angle d

therefore, angle b + angle d = 180

(x) + (2x + 16) = 180

same as (2x + 16) + (x) = 180
