Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  S= Total colleges

A = colleges are expensive.

B= colleges are  far from home( more than 200 miles away).

Given : n(S)= 20

n(A)=8

n(B)=8

n(A∩B) =2

Then, the number of  college that are not expensive and within 200 miles from home :-

n(A'\cap B')=n(S)-n(A\cup B)\\\\=20-(n(A)+n(B)-N(A\cap B))\ \ [\because\ n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-N(A\cap B)]\\\\=20-(8+8-2)\\\\=20-14=6

i.e.  the number of  college that are not expensive and within 200 miles from home=6

Hence, the number of possible selections are <u>6</u> .

<h2>Good morning,</h2>

<em><u>__________________</u></em>

<em><u>Answer</u></em>:

a+a+a = 3a.

4b-b = 3b.

3x²+x² = 4x².

<u><em>explanation</em></u>

a+a+a = 3a.

4b-b = b(4 - 1) = b × 3 = 3b.

3x²+x² = x²(3 + 1) = x² × 4 = 4x².

The burning time of a very large candle is normally distributed with mean of 2500 hours and standard deviation of 20 hours. Find
dezoksy [38]

Answer: C.-1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The burning time of a very large candle is normally distributed with mean(\mu) of 2500 hours and standard deviation(\sigma) of 20 hours.

Let X be a random variable that represent the burning time of a very large candle.

Formula: Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

For X = 2470

Z=\dfrac{2470-2500}{20}\\\\\Rightarrow\ Z=\dfrac{-30}{20}\\\\\Rightarrow\ Z=\dfrac{-3}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ Z=-1.5

So, the z-score they corresponds to a lifespan of 2470 hours. =-1.5

Hence, the correct option is C.-1.5.
