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%.

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

-5/ (x^19 * y^12)

Step-by-step explanation:

-15x^-10 * y ^ -3 * x^-9 * y^-9/3 (It's writing it like this.)

15 and 3 have a GCF of 3.

-5x^-10 * y^-3 * x^-9 * y^-9/1

Reduce similar occurrences. *twice in a row*

-5x^(-10 + (-9)) * y^(-3 + (-9))/1

Remove extra signs *twice in a row*

-5x^(-10 - 9) * y^(-3 - 9)/1

Remove extraneous 1.

-5x^(-10 - 9) * y^(-3 - 9)

Add integers.

-5x^-19 * y^-12

Negative powers change multiplication to division.

-5 / (x^19 * y^12) is the final answer.

Even with that, the simplified answer wouldn't have negative exponents because of the negative powers rule.

A rectangle has a height to width ratio of 3:4.5. Give two examples of dimensions for rectangles that could be scaled versions o
OlgaM077 [116]

We have been given that a rectangle has a height to width ratio of 3:4.5.

Let h be height and w be width of rectangle.

We can set our given information in an equation as:

\frac{h}{w} =\frac{3}{4.5}

h=\frac{3}{4.5} *w

Now we will substitute h=1 in this equation.

1=\frac{3}{4.5} *w

3w=4.5

w=\frac{4.5}{3} =1.5

We can see that width of rectangle is 1.5 times height of rectangle.

Our one set of dimensions of rectangle will be: height=1 and width=1.5.

We can get many set of dimensions for our rectangle by multiplying both height and width of rectangle by same number.

Multiplying by 5 we will get our dimensions as: height 5 and width 7.5.  

Therefore, (1 and 1.5) and (5 and 7.5) dimensions for rectangle will be scaled version of our rectangle.

Helium decays to form lithium. 6 2 he → 6 3 li 0 -1 e this type of nuclear decay is called .
PSYCHO15rus [73]

To understand this question, we need some knowledge on radioactive decay. This type of nuclear decay is called a beta decay

<h3>Beta Decay</h3>

This is the process where a radioactive material is fired or naturally emits a beta particle which is equivalent to the lose of an electron and spontaneously becomes an entirely different element.

^6_2He \to ^6_3 Li + ^0_-_1e

The participating actors in this nuclear reaction are

  • helium
  • lithium
  • electron

This is the decay process of helium particle in which it became a lithium particle and emitted an electron in the process.
