The first standard deviation covers about 68% of the distribution in a normal curve. (34% higher, 34% lower than the mean). the second standard deviation covers 28% (14% between 1st and 2nd SD above the mean, 14% between 1st and 2nd SD below the mean).  In our case
1 Standard deviation = 27 hours (we will approximate to 25 hours)
Mean = 2,000 

This means that 34% of the distribution is between 1975 and 2000 hours       (within 1 standard deviation below the mean)

2,000- 2,050 covers the range within 50 hours above the mean.
50 hours is roughly 2 standard deviations. The second standard deviation (standard deviation between 1 and 2) covers around 14% on each side of the distribution.
50 hours is roughly 2 standard deviations, which means we add 34% + 14% = 48%. 
The range of 1,975 - 2,050 hours covers 34% of the distribution below the mean and 48% of the distribution above the mean. 
This means that the probability that the light bulb will last somewhere within this range is 34% + 48% = 82%

The closest answer is 79%. The difference can be explained by the fact that, for simplicity, we approximated the standard deviation to be ~25 hours instead of the real standard deviation of 27 hours.

A prism with a base area of 8 cm² and a height of 6 cm is dilated by a factor of 5/4 .
Andrei [34K]
The volume of the original prism is calculated by multiplying the area of the base by the height,
                               volume = (8 cm²)(6 cm) = 48 cm³
By the word dilated we mean to say that the dimensions of the new prism is 5/4 times that of the original solid. If we let x be the volume of the new solid,
                           x / 48 cm³ = (5/4)³
The value of x from the equation above is equal to 93.75 cm³.

A random variable can be either discrete or continuous. It is discrete it can assume only a finite number of values, or a countable infinity of values at most.

It is continuous if it can assume values in an interval, or in general, an uncountable infinity of values.

That being said, we have:

Option A is a discrete random variable, because the number of heads in 5 throws can be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. So, we have finitely many possible values.

Option B is a discrete random variable, because the number you roll on a die is either1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. So, we have finitely many possible values.

Option C is a discrete random variable, because if there are n students in a class, the number of boys is an integer between 0 and n. So, we have finitely many possible values.

Option D is finally a continuous random variable, because the height of a 10-year-old can be any number (in a suitable range of course).

I am taking a quiz does anybody know this
Anettt [7]

Ralph would need 9 sheets of pink paper if he had 3 sheets of red paper.

The reason of this is because for every 1 piece of red paper there are 3 pieces of pink paper. So if you have 3 pieces of red paper you would do 3x3 which equals 9, and that's your answer.
