7 0

Answer:

15.87%

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing here is that we calculate the z-score which corresponds to 76

mathematically;

z-score = (x-mean)/SD

mean = 71 and SD = 5

plugging these values, we have;

z = (76-71)/5 = 5/5 = 1

Now, we want to firstly get the probability that we have a student shorter than 76 inches

The probability we want to calculate is P(z<1)

we can get this using the z-score table directly

That would be 0.15866

In percentage that is 15.866% which is 15.87% to the nearest tenth

Express 3cm: 3m in the ratio of its simplest form​
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

1cm:100cm

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to convert the ratio into the same unit (I chose cm). If there are 100cm in a metre, there will be 300cm in 3m.

That leaves you with the ratio 3cm:300cm. To simplify, divide both sides by three leaving you with 1cm:100cm
