The blood platelet counts of a group of women have a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 247.9 and a standard deviation of

64.7. ​(All units are 1000 ​cells/μ​L.) Using the empirical​ rule, find each approximate percentage below. a. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3​? b. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 53.8 and 442.0​?

Answer:

A) Approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3 = 95%

B) approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 53.8 and 442.0 = 99.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

mean;μ = 247.9

standard deviation;σ = 64.7

A) We want to find the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3.

Now, from the image attached, we can see that from the empirical curve, the probability of 1 standard deviation from the mean is (34% + 34%) = 68 %.

While probability of 2 standard deviations from the mean is (13.5% + 34% + 34% + 13.5%) = 95%

Thus, approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3 = 95%

B) Now, we want to find the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 53.8 and 442.0.

53.8 and 442.0 represents 3 standard deviations from the mean.

Let's confirm that.

Since mean;μ = 247.9

standard deviation;σ = 64.7 ;

μ = 247.9

σ = 64.7

μ + 3σ = 247.9 + 3(64.7) = 442

Also;

μ - 3σ = 247.9 - 3(64.7) = 53.8

Again from the empirical curve attached, we cans that at 3 standard deviations from the mean, we have a percentage probability of;

(2.35% + 13.5% + 34% + 34% + 13.5% + 2.35%) = 99.7%

Can someone please help me?​
uysha [10]

Answer:

15.5 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the time the driver activated the brakes until he stopped, he travelled 76 - 14 = 62 meters.

During this time the car slowed  down from 8 m/s to 0 m/s.

Assuming the deceleration was constant during this time we can apply one of the equations of motion for constant  acceleration:

s = (u + v)t / 2   where u = initial velocity, v = final velocity, s = distance and t = the time, so:-

62 = (8 + 0)t/ 2

62 = 8t/2

4t = 62

t = 15.5 seconds.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

39.66

Step-by-step explanation:

If the divisor is not a whole number, move decimal point to right to make it a whole number and move decimal point in dividend the same number of places.

Divide like you usually do

Put decimal point directly above decimal point in the dividend.

Check your answer.
