When Harper commutes to work, the amount of time it takes her to arrive is normally distributed with a mean of 24 minutes and a

standard deviation of 3 minutes. Using the empirical rule, determine the interval that represents the middle 95% of her commute times.

Answer:

\mu -2\sigma = 24-2*3= 18

\mu -2\sigma = 24+2*3= 30

So then we can conclude that we expect the middle 95% of the values within 18 and 30 minutes for this case

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the random variable X as the amount of time it takes her to arrive to work and we know that the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(\mu = 24, \sigma =3)

And we want to use the empirical rule to estimate the middle 95% of her commute times. And the empirical rule states that we have 68% of the values within one deviation from the mean, 95% of the values within two deviations from the mean and 99.7 % of the values within 3 deviations from the mean. And we can find the limits on this way:

\mu -2\sigma = 24-2*3= 18

\mu -2\sigma = 24+2*3= 30

So then we can conclude that we expect the middle 95% of the values within 18 and 30 minutes for this case

What is the difference? 5/3-1/2<br><br>A. 4<br>B. 7<br>C. 7/6<br>D. 7/0 = undefined
Fofino [41]
The answer is:  [C]:  " ⁷/₆ " .
____________________________________
  Note:
____________________________________
   (5/3) - (1/2) = ? ;
____________________________________
The LCD (lowest common denominator) of "2 and 3" is "6" ;

So we need to rewrite EACH fraction in the problem as a fraction with "6" in the denominator ;
____________________________
 (5/3) = (?/6) ?  ;  (6÷3=2) ;  (5/3) = (5*2)/(3*2) = 10/6 ;
____________________________
(1/2) = (?/6) ? ; (6÷2=3) ;  (1/2) = (1*3)/(2*3) = 3/6 ;
____________________________
Rewrite the problem:   "    (5/3) - (1/2) " ;  as:
____________________________
   10/6 - 3/6  ;
____________________________________________
    10/6 - 3/6 = (10 - 3) / 6 = (7/6) = 1 ⅙ .
____________________________________________
The answer is:  " ⁷/₆ " ;  or, write as:   " 1 ⅙ " ; which corresponds to: 
______________________________________________________
Answer choice:  [C]:  " ⁷/₆ " .

Please help me with this problem <br> Evaluate (-½·3)³
-Dominant- [34]

Answer: -27/8

Step-by-step explanation:

\left(-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:3\right)^3

\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \left(-a\right)^n=-a^n,\:\quad \mathrm{if\:}n\mathrm{\:is\:odd}

\left(-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:3\right)^3=-\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:3\right)^3

=-\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:3\right)^3

\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \left(a\cdot \:b\right)^n=a^nb^n

\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:3\right)^3=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3\cdot \:3^3

=-\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3\cdot \:3^3

=-\frac{1}{8}\cdot \:3^3

=-\frac{1}{8}\cdot \:27

=-\frac{27}{8}
