statistician reported that the mean serve speed of a particular player was 99 miles per hour (mph) and the standard deviation of the serve speeds was 15 mph.
If nothing is known about the shape of the distribution, give an interval that will contain the speeds of at least eight-ninths of the player's serves.

a) 54 mph to 144 mph
b) 39 mph to 159 mph
c) 144 mph to 189 mph
d) 69 mph to 129 mph

Answer:

a) 54 mph to 144 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know the shape of the distribution, so we use Chebyshev's Theorem to solve this question. It states that:

At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

At least eight-ninths of the player's serves.

8/9 is approximately 89%

So

Mean: 99, standard deviation: 15

99 - 3*15 = 54

99 + 3*15 = 144

So the correct answer is:

a) 54 mph to 144 mph

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

\large\boxed{m\geq-98}

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{m}{-7}\leq14\\\\-\dfrac{m}{7}\leq14\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\\dfrac{m}{7}\geq-14\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 7}\\\\7\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{m}{7\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\geq(7)(-14)\\\\m\geq-98

Plastic Knives are sold in packs of 18 for 45p. Plastic Forks are sold in packs of 15 for 41p. Jace wants to buy the same number
Flauer [41]

Answer:

430p

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, we'll find the least common multiple for 15 and 18.

=> The least common multiple for 15 and 18 is 90

<u><em>Plastic Knives:</em></u>

Jace will buy 90 knives.  

=> Packets = 90/18 = 5 Packets

Money for 5 Packets = 5 * 45

=> 225p

<u><em>Plastic Forks:</em></u>

Jace will buy 90 forks also.

=> Packets = 90/15 = 6 Packets

Money fro 6 packets = 6 * 41

=> 205p

<u><em>Least Amount of Money Jace will spend</em></u> = 225p+205p

=> 430p

arsen [322]
2/5 is equivalent to 4/10 so at the end of February 4/10 was used up
And at the end of January, 3/10 was used
so 4/10 + 3/10 = 7/10

At the end of February, 7/10 of the wood was used
