In the given question we can see that the information,Georgina ran a distance of 3/8 mile in 3 minutes is already provided.
So
In 3 minutes Georgina can run a distance of = 3/8 miles
Then In 1 minute Georgina can run a distance of = 3/(8 * 3) miles
= 3/24 miles
= 1/8 miles.
So it can be said now that in 1 minute the distance that Georgina can cover is 1/8 miles. If required it can be converted to decimal value as well.

First, you would divide the 3/8 by 3 to get how many miles in 1 minute.
3/8 by 3 is the same thing as 3/8 times 1/3. Which equals 1/8.

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

0.9452 = 94.52% probability that their mean length is less than 16.8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
