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%

Stells [14]
80+10x is the expression. To find the cost for 9 guests, simply plug in 9 for x. This becomes an equation reading 80+10(9)=170. The total cost for 9 guests is $170.00.

Answer:

  swap the middle two steps to put them in order

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps in order would be ...

  1. -11 -5z = 30z +24 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
  2. -11 = 35z +24 . . . . . . . . add 5z
  3. -35 = 35z . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 24
  4. -1 = z . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
