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%

You download 12 news songs to your phone. Then you delete 5 old songs.Write each amount as an integer.
Gennadij [26K]
Hey there! :D

When you have a value, it is usually positive.

For example, if I have 5 chocolate bars, then I have +5 chocolate bars. 

When you take away a value, it is usually negative.

For example, I have 3 chocolate bars away, then I would have 3 fewer chocolate bars. (-3) 

Integers are negative or positive whole numbers.

12 songs= 12 <== the integer

Delete 5 old songs= -5 <=== the integer

I hope this helps!

The owner of a toy store received a shipment of 1,552 party favors. The party favors came in 28 boxes. The same number of party
Svetradugi [14.3K]

let 


x = the number of party favors in each of the 27 boxes

y = the number of party favors in the last box


the total number of party favors is 1,552


27x + y = 1,552


since 1552 = 57*27 + 13


if we assume that y<x we conclude that there are 57 party favors in each of the 27 boxes and 13 party favors in the last box.
