Answer:

6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the route length be r.  The distance the cyclist has already covered is then (5/7)r + 40.  This plus 0.75r - 118 must = r, the length of the entire route.

Then:

(5/7)r + 40 + (3/4)r - 118 = r

The LCD of the fractions 5/7 and 3/4 is 28.  We thus have:

(20/28)r + 40 + (21/28)r - 118 = r, or

(41/28)r - 78 = (28/28)r

Combining the r terms, we get 13r = 78, and so r = 78/13 = 6.

The cyclist's bike route is 6 miles long.

A set average city temperatures in August are normally distributed with a mean of 21.25 degrees Celsius and a standard deviation
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The proportion of temperatures that lie within the given limits are 10.24%

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- Let X be a random variable that denotes the average city temperatures in the month of August.

- The random variable X is normally distributed with parameters:

                           mean ( u ) = 21.25

                           standard deviation ( σ ) = 2

- Express the distribution of X:

                           X ~ Norm ( u , σ^2 )

                           X ~ Norm ( 21.25 , 2^2 )

- We are to evaluate the proportion of set of temperatures in the month of august that lies between 23.71 degrees Celsius and 26.17 degrees Celsius :

                           P ( 23.71 < X < 26.17 )

- We will standardize our limits i.e compute the Z-score values:

                          P (  (x1 - u) / σ < Z < (x2 - u) / σ )

                          P (  (23.71 - 21.25) / 2 < Z < (26.17 - 21.25) / 2  )

                          P ( 1.23 < Z < 2.46 ).

- Now use the standard normal distribution tables:

                          P ( 1.23 < Z < 2.46 ) = 0.1024

- The proportion of temperatures that lie within the given limits are 10.24%
