Answer:

14.89% or 0.1489

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the z-score for both 70 and 80 minutes and their corresponding percentile.

z= \frac{X - \mu }{SD} \\SD=\sqrt{V} =\sqrt{12}\\\mu =75\\z= \frac{X - 75}{\sqrt{12}}\\\\

For X = 70 minutes:

z= \frac{70 - 75}{\sqrt{12}}\\z=-1.4434

This z-score is equivalent to the 7.445 th percentile, so the probability of a student finishing this exam in less than 70 minutes is 7.445%

or X = 80 minutes:

z= \frac{80 - 75}{\sqrt{12}}\\z=1.4434

This z-score is equivalent to the 92.555 th percentile, so the probability of a student finishing this exam in more than 80 minutes is 100- 92.555 = 7.445%

Therefore, the probability (P) of a student finishing this exam in less than 70 minutes or more than 80 minutes is:

P = 7.445% + 7.445% = 14.89%

Answer:

<em>V = 18.75</em>

<em>Method: First find the area of the pyramid on top, then find the area of the rectangular prism below.</em>

V of the pyramid = 3.75 ft³

V of the rectangular prism = 15 ft³

3.75 + 15 = 18.75

Hope this helped!!  :)

Answer:

  1666

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers of currency units are proportional.

  RMB/USD = 1/0.15 = x/250

  x = 250/0.15 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 250

  x ≈ 1666

1666 RMB can be purchased with $250 US.

Determime the intercepts of the line that passes through the following points. (-6,5);(-3,3);(0,1)
butalik [34]

well for a line, to get its slope all we need is two points, so let's use (-6, 5) and (0, 1), and get the equation of it.


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})\qquad&#10;(\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1})&#10;\\\\\\&#10;slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{1-5}{0-(-6)}\implies \cfrac{1-5}{0+6}\implies -\cfrac{5}{6}


\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll}&#10;\cline{1-1}&#10;\textit{point-slope form}\\&#10;\cline{1-1}&#10;\\&#10;y-y_1=m(x-x_1)&#10;\\\\&#10;\cline{1-1}&#10;\end{array}\implies y-5=-\cfrac{5}{6}[x-(-6)]\implies y-5=-\cfrac{5}{6}(x+6)&#10;\\\\[-0.35em]&#10;\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\&#10;\textit{to get the x-intercept, we set y = 0, solve for \underline{x}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;0-5=-\cfrac{5}{6}(x+6)\implies -30=5x+30\implies -60=5x&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{-60}{5}=x\implies -12=x~\hfill \boxed{\stackrel{x-intercept}{(-12,0)}}


now, where's the y-intercept of that line?  well, to get the y-intercept, we set x = 0 and solve for "y"....hmmmm wait a second, notice (0, 1), x = 0, y = 1, that's the y-intercept already.
