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.

Suppose that poaching reduces the population of an endangered animal by
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

38.26 years.

Step-by-step explanation:  

We have been given that the population of an endangered animal by  reduces 8​% per year. the current population of the animal is  1700. When the population of this animal falls below  70​, its extinction is inevitable.  

Let us write the model for population of this animal (y) after x years.

Since we know that an exponential decay function is in form: y=a*(1-r)^x, where,

a= Initial value.

r = Rate in decimal form.

Let us convert our given rate in decimal form.

8\%=\frac{8}{100}=0.08

Upon substituting a= 1700 and r = 0.08 in exponential function, we will get the model of animal population as:

y=1700*(1-0.08)^x

y=1700*(0.92)^x

Let us find, when the animal population will face extinction by substituting y=70 in our function.

70=1700*(0.92)^x  

\frac{70}{1700}=\frac{1700*(0.92)^x}{1700}

0.0411764705882353=0.92^x  

Let us take natural log of both sides of our equation.

ln(0.0411764705882353)=ln(0.92^x)

ln(0.0411764705882353)=x*ln(0.92)

-3.1898882879949483163=x*-0.0833816089390511

x=\frac{-3.1898882879949483163}{-0.0833816089390511}

x=38.2564971890460849445284\approx 38.26

Therefore, the population of the animal will face extinction after 38.26 years.

There are flags planted along a forest. There
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

15 times there will be a blue and purple flag in the same spot

Step-by-step explanation:

300 miles / 10 miles = 30 blue flags in total

300 miles / 20 miles = 15 purple flags in total

There will be at least one blue flag for every purple flag. Since there is 15 purple flags in total, there will be 15 times this can occur.

I have attatched a demonstration of my thoughts to this post.
