The probability that a randomly selected runner has a time less than or equal to 3 hours and 20 minutes is 0.16 or 16%.

<h3>What is normally distributed data?</h3>

Normally distributed data is the distribution of probability which is symmetric about the mean.

The mean of the data is the average value of the given data.

The standard deviation of the data is the half of the difference of the highest value and mean of the data set.

The times of the runners in a marathon are normally distributed, with

  • Mean of 3 hours and 50 minutes
  • Standard deviation of 30 minutes.

Refere the probabiliity table attached below. The probability of Z being inside the 1 Standard daviation of mean is 0.84.

The probability of runner selected with time less than or equal to 3 hours and 20 minutes,

P=1-0.84\\P=0.16

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected runner has a time less than or equal to 3 hours and 20 minutes is 0.16 or 16%.

Write the equation for a line perpendicular to y=-3x+18 that goes through the point (-12,6)
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

y=\frac{1}{3} x -14

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line you will find should be in the form y =mx+c , where m is the gradient and c is the y intercept.

The gradient of a line that is perpendicular to a line [of a known gradient] is the negative reciprocal of the gradient of the first. i.e. if a is the known gradient and the perpendicular gradient is b, ab = -1. Therefore the -3b=-1 and b= 1/3

you can now write y = mx +c as y = 1/3x +c

As you have been given a coordinate, you can input these values into y= 1/3x + c

-12 = 1/3(6) +c

-12 - 2 = c

c = -14

hence the equation of the line is y= 1/3x -14

IceJOKER [234]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (c)  f(x) is an even degree polynomial with a positive leading coefficient.

Step-by-step explanation:

The leading terms of the two functions are ...

  f(x): x² (even degree, positive coefficient: 1)

  g(x): x³ (odd degree, positive coefficient: 1)

Then it is true that ...

  f(x) is an even degree polynomial with a positive leading coefficient

The watch at Macys is $400. The store is having a sale and everything is 30% off. What is the final price of the watch?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The price of the watch is 280$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the original price is 400 dollers, and its on sale for 30%.

So we do 30% of 400 = 120$

finally we do, 400$ - 120$ = 280$

so the final price of the watch is 280$

hope this helps
