Answer:

Third quartile (Q₃) = 46.75 minutes.

Therefore, Option (c) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mean  (μ) = 40 minutes and S.D (σ) = 10 minutes

To find : Third quartile (Q₃) = ?

Sol: As the third quartile of normal distribution covers the 75% of the total area of the curve and first quartile covers the 25% of the total area of the curve. Then with the help of z score table, the value represented the third quartile of the normal distribution is:

Q₃ = μ + 0.675 σ

Now by substitution the value of mean and standard deviation,

Q₃ = 40 + 0.675 × (10)

Q₃ = 40 + 6.75

Q₃ = 46.75

Therefore, the third quartile (Q₃) = 46.75. So, option (c) is the correct answer.

Minimize Q=x^2+2y^2, where x+y=3
Studentka2010 [4]
<span>The first step you need to do is to rewrite
x+y=3
as y=3-x
</span><span>Now we can replace the y in the equation with our newfound value for y, which is
y=3-x.
So lets write it now like this
Q=x^2+2(3-y)^2
=x^2+18-12x+2x^2
=3x^2+18-12x
</span>Hope this helps

(6.0 x 10^5) x (3.0 x 10^4) = (6 x 3) x 10^(5 + 4) = 18 x 10^9 = 1.8 x 10^10
