Draw out a horizontal line. Place 0 at the center. Then place evenly spaced tick marks on either side of 0. Label the right side of tick marks as 1, 2, 3, ... moving from 0 and going to the right

Label the left side of tick marks -1, -2, -3, ... starting at 0 and moving left

The location -3 on the number line is exactly 3 units away from 0. We start at 0 and move to -3 by moving 3 spots to the left; or we start at -3 and move 3 units to the right to get to 0.

Therefore, the absolute value of -3 is 3
Absolute value on a number line is the distance a number is from 0
The distance is never negative

The times of the runners in a marathon are normally distributed, with a mean of 3 hours and 50 minutes and a standard deviation
balu736 [363]

Answer: 0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the run times provided are normally distributed ;

Mean(x) of distribution = 3 hours 50 minutes

Standard deviation(s) = 30 minutes

The probability that a randomly selected runner has a time less than or equal to 3 hours 20 minutes

3 hours 20 minutes = (3 hrs 50 mins - 30 mins):

This is equivalent to :

[mean(x) - 1 standard deviation]

z 1 standard deviation within the mean = 0.84

z, 1 standard deviation outside the mean equals:

P(1 - z value , 1standard deviation within the mean)

1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587

= 0.16
