Answer: 95.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the time it takes people to read the book is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = the time it takes people to read the book.

µ = mean time

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 147 minutes

σ = 12 minutes

The probability that a person takes between 123 and 171 minutes to read the book is expressed as

P(123 ≤ x ≤ 171)

For x = 123,

z = (123 - 147)/12 = - 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.023

For x = 171,

z = (171 - 147)/12 = 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.98

Therefore,

P(123 ≤ x ≤ 171) = 0.98 - 0.023 = 0.957

The percentage of people that take between 123 and 171 minutes to read the book is

0.957 × 100 = 95.7%

olasank [31]

Answer:

Answer B: 1*10^2 times

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many times more massive is the whale relative o the polar bear, we just need to find the quotient of one over the other:

\frac{7*10^4}{7*10^2} = \frac{7*10^2*10^2}{7*10^2}=1*10^2 times

Therefore our answer agrees with the one shown as answer B.

Honestly, I'm trying my best to solve this but my Math XL is being so rude. ​

<h3>Answer:  19</h3>

==============================================================

Explanation:

T is the midpoint of PQ, which means T splits PQ into two equal parts. Those parts being PT and TQ.

Set them equal to each other and solve for x.

PT = TQ

3x+7 = 7x-9

3x-7x = -9-7

-4x = -16

x = -16/(-4)

x = 4

So,

PT = 3x+7 = 3*4+7 = 19

TQ = 7x-9 = 7*4-9 = 19

Both PT and TQ are 19 units long to help confirm the answer.

What means the same as 6 × 5? <br> A.6^5 <br> B.5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 <br> C.6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6
skelet666 [1.2K]

Here is your answer:

In order to find your answer we will have to solve each option separately to see which one equals 6 × 5.

  • 6^5 = 6\times6\times6\times6\times 6 <---- Not the answer
  • 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 25 <----- Not the answer
  • 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 35 <---- Your answer

Therefore your answer is option C "6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 ."

Hope this helps!
