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%

Find the area of the shaded polygons:
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

6.5 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

There are MANY ways to do this problem, most of them involving breaking it into 3 or four shapes.  But this one is easier if you do most of it by taking out the squares and half squares.  

Squares - 3

Half squares - 4 (totals 2 squares)

Triangle - 1 - 1/2bh = 1/2x1x3 = 1.5

TOTAL = 3+2+1.5=6.5

Solve the expression 94-x-67-x
Leni [432]

I guess it is simplifying the expression:

{ \tt{94 - x - 67 - x}} \\  = { \tt{94 - 67 + ( - x - x)}} \\  = { \tt{27 - (x + x)}} \\  = { \tt{27 - 2x}}
