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%.

The function f(x) = −x^2 − 5x + 50 shows the relationship between the vertical distance of a diver from a pool's surface f(x), i
pychu [463]
Set the function to equal zero:

-x^2 - 5x + 50 = 0

To find the zeros, or solutions, to this problem, we will use the quadratic formula:

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Plug the values into the equation:

a = -1, b = -5, c = 50

x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{-5^2-4(-1)(50)}}{2(-1)}

x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+200}}{-2}

x=\frac{5\pm15}{-2}

Solve for both plus and minus:

\frac{5 + 15}{-2} = \frac{20}{-2} = -10

\frac{5 - 15}{-2} = \frac{-10}{-2} = 5

x = -10, x = 5

The question cannot use a negative value for x, as the diver cannot dive a negative distance from the board.

The answer is '<span>x = 5; the diver hits the water 5 feet away horizontally from the board', because x represents the horizontal distance away from the board.</span>

A 600-ft tall building is represented by a 30-in. tall model.
alexdok [17]

\huge\boxed{19\ \text{inches}}

First, find the scale factor by dividing the first building's real-life height by its model height.

\frac{600}{30}=\frac{60}{3}=20

Now, we'll write an equation to find the model height of the second building.

r=20m

Here is an equation where r represents the real-life height of a building, 20 represents the scale factor, and m represents the model height of the same building.

Fill in the information we already know.

380=20m

Divide both sides by 20.

\frac{380}{20} = \frac{20m}{20}

\large{\boxed{19}}=m

So, the model height of the second building is 19 inches.
