We need to 'standardise' the value of X = 14.4 by first calculating the z-score then look up on the z-table for the p-value (which is the probability)

The formula for z-score:
z = (X-μ) ÷ σ

Where
X = 14.4
μ = the average mean = 18
σ = the standard deviation = 1.2

Substitute these value into the formula

z-score = (14.4 - 18) ÷ 1..2 = -3

We are looking to find P(Z < -3)
The table attached conveniently gives us the value of P(Z < -3)  but if you only have the table that read p-value to the left of positive z, then the trick is to do:
1 - P(Z<3)

From the table
P(Z < -3) = 0.0013

The probability of the runners have times less than 14.4 secs is 0.0013 = 0.13%

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

280 mangoes

Step-by-step explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio, 7 + 11 = 18 parts

Divide the total by 18 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

720 ÷ 18 = 40 ← value of 1 part of the ratio , then

7 × 40 = 280 ← number of mangoes

Evaluate the function.<br> f(x) = –2x2 – 10.0<br> Find f(-5)<br> Answer:<br> Submit Answer
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

f(-5) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

f(x) = -2x² - 10x

f(-5) is x = -5

Step 2: Substitute and Evaluate

f(-5) = -2(-5)² - 10(-5)

f(-5) = -2(25) + 50

f(-5) = -50 + 50

f(-5) = 0
