Show all your work. Indicate clearly the methods you use, because you will be scored on the correctness of your methods as well

as on the accuracy and completeness of your results and explanations. Kathy and her brother Clay recently ran in a local marathon. The distribution of finishing time for women was approximately normal with mean 259 minutes and standard deviation 32 minutes. The distribution of finishing time for men was approximately normal with mean 242 minutes and standard deviation 29 minutes. The finishing time for Clay was 289 minutes. Calculate and interpret the standardized score for Clayâs marathon time. Show your work.

Answer:

Clay's finishing time is 1.68 standard deviation above the mean finishing time for men.

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, a standardized score is the number of standard deviations an observation or data point is from the mean.

Let us consider a random variable, X that follows a normal distribution, N (<em>µ</em>, <em>σ</em>²).

Then <em>Z</em> is a standard normal variate with mean, E (Z) = 0 and Var (Z) = 1. That is,

Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\sim N(0, 1)

This, <em>z</em>-score is known as the standardized score.

It is provided that the distribution of finishing time for men (say, <em>X</em>) was approximately normal with mean <em>µ</em> = 242 minutes and standard deviation <em>σ = </em>29 minutes.

The finishing time for Clay was <em>x</em> = 289 minutes.

Compute Clay's <em>z</em>-score as follows:

Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

   =\frac{289-242}{29}\\\\=1.67857143\\\\\approx 1.68

Thus, Clay's standardized score is 1.68.

That is, Clay's finishing time is 1.68 standard deviation above the mean finishing time for men.

22. One kilometer is approximately 0.62 mile. What fraction represents this length?
bixtya [17]

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

One kilometer is \frac{31}{50} miles

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u>To convert a decimal to a fraction:</u>

1- Write the decimal as a fraction whose denominator is 1

2- Multiply both numerator and denominator by multiples of 10 to eliminate the decimal point

3- Simplify the fraction you have

<u>Now, for the given problem:</u>

<u>The given decimal is 0.62, following the above steps:</u>

<u>Step 1: </u>

0.62 = \frac{0.62}{1}

<u>Step 2:</u>

We have two digits after the decimal point, so to eliminate the decimal point, we will multiply the numerator and the denominator by 100

0.62 = \frac{0.62}{1} * \frac{100}{100} = \frac{62}{100}

<u>Step 3:</u>

We can note that, in the fraction obtained from step 2, both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 2, so we simplify as follows:

\frac{62}{100} = \frac{62/2}{100/2} =\frac{31}{50}

Hope this helps :)

190 = 200^b, make b the subject​
MArishka [77]

Answer:

b = \frac{ln190}{ln200}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of logarithms

log x^{n} ⇔ nlogx

Given

190 = 200^{b} ( take the natural log ln of both sides )

ln190 = ln200^{b} = bln200 ( divide both sides by ln200 )

\frac{ln190}{ln200} = b
