Answer:

​σ = 2 (option a)

Step-by-step explanation:

You would want the smallest standard deviation possible.

Think of it like this: if everyone, other than you, got only 50, 51, 52, 53 then you would be the ultimate highest position in the class.

As opposed to being an average position if the scores were about                      49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60 ---your score would not put you in the highest position in the class distribution.

So, a standard deviation of ​σ = 2 would give you the highest position in the class distribution.

A student needed to prepare 500mL of 1X TAE buffer to run a QC gel. The stock solution in the lab is 5X TAE. What volumes of sto
Xelga [282]

Answer:

you need 100ml of 5X TAE and 400ml of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use a rule of three:

C_1V_1=C_2V_2

where:

\left \{ {{C_1= 5X} \atop {C_2=1X}} \right.

and

\left \{ {{V_1 = V_{TAE}} \atop {V_2=500ml}} \right.

Therefore:

V_{TAE} = \frac{V_2*C_2}{C_1}

V_{TAE} = 100ml

Then just rest the TAE volume to the final Volume and you get the amount of water that you need to reduce the concentration.

PLEASEE HEEELP! In the normal distribution, 68% of the data lies within 1 standard deviation A: __/6 of the mean, 95% of the dat
Lena [83]

Answer:

a) 2.5% b) 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

1300 is two standard deviations higher than the mean. Since 95% of the data is covered within two standard deviations to the left and right of the mean, 5% is not covered. So, we have 2.5% leftover on the left side of the curve, under 900, and 2.5% leftover on the right side of the graph that is above 1300.

The mean is 1100, so anything above or below the mean is exactly 50% in a normal distribution.

20. The surface areas of two similar solids are 216 m² and 1014 m². The volume of the larger one is 2197 m³. What is the volume
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

  216 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of linear dimensions is the square root of the ratio of area dimensions.

  s = √(216/1014) = √(36/169) = 6/13

Then the ratio of volume dimensions is the cube of that. The smaller volume is ...

  v = (6/13)³·2197 m³ = 216/2197·2197 m³ = 216 m³

The volume of the smaller solid is 216 m³.

A preschool teacher has 17.5 feet of yarn for her students to make necklaces to raise money for a local animal shelter each neck
Scorpion4ik [409]
17.5x12=210
210 divided by 14=15
15x2.50=37.5
37.5
17.5 is feet so you need to divide by 12 for inches which gets 210 and you need each necklace to be 14 inches so you need to divide 210 by 14 which is 15 each necklace costs 2.50 so you multiply 2.50x15
You get 37.5
