Answer:

95%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the empirical rule,

68% of the distribution falls within 0ne standard deviation of the mean.

95% percent falls within two standard deviations of the mean

99.7% falls within three standard deviations of the mean.

The red-light times are normally distributed with a mean time of 3 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.25

2.5=3-2(0.25)

3.5=3+2(0.25)

We can see that 2.5 is two standard deviations below the mean, and 3.5 is two standard deviations above the mean.

Hence the percentage of red lights that lasts between 2.5 and 3.5 is 95%

A school is building a rectangular soccer field that has an area of 6000 square yards .the soccer field.must be 40 yards longer
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The equation in standard form is:

x^2-40x-6000 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the field be x yards.

Now the width of the field is 40 yards less than the length of the field.

Thus, the width of the field would be (x-40) yards

Now, to calculate the area of the field, we simply multiply the length of the field by the width of the field.

Hence;

Since the shape is rectangular, the area is the product of the length and that of the width

x(x-40) =6,000

x^2 -40x = 6,000

x^2-40x-6000 = 0

Ken has a total of 74 notes. They are either $2 or $5 notes. He has 16 more pieces of $5 notes than $2 notes. Find the total val
Anton [14]

Answer:

$283

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

   x - for $2 notes

   x + 16 - for $5 notes

EQUATION:

  (x) + (x + 16) = 74

  2x = 74 - 16

  2x = 58

  x = 29

SUBSTITUTE

  x = 29 pieces of $2 notes

  x + 16 = 29 + 16 = 45 pieces of $5 notes

TOTAL VALUE IS:

   (29 x $2) + (45 x $5) = $283

1. A rectangular pyramid is intersected by a plane to create the frustum shown. If the height of the original pyramid is 14 m, w
oksian1 [2.3K]
The answer needs the volume of the original pyramid minus the small pyramid cut off.
Volume of pyramid = (area of base x height)/3
(12 x 6 x 14)/3 - (4 x 10 x 6)/3 = 256 m^3

The diagram is completely wrong so this problem is actually impossible to solve!
If you slice horizontally across a rectangular pyramid the ratios of the edges will remain constant.
The two rectangles are not the same shape! 12:6 is not the same ratio as 10:4

If the original pyramid in this question was sliced in half the top rectangle of the frustum would be 6 x 3.
In this diagram the height was reduced from 14m to 8m so the top 6m was removed.
If the base was 12 x 6 the top rectangle should be 6/14 smaller = 5.14m by 2.57m (not 10 x 4)

If you are brave you could point this out to your teacher
