Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that X -  the distribution of heights of male pilots is approximately normal, with a mean of 72.6 inches and a standard deviation of 2.7 inches.

Height of male pilot = 74.2 inches

We have to find the percentile

X = 74.2

Corresponding Z score = 74.2-72.6 = 1.6

P(X<174.2) = P(Z<1.6) = 0.5-0.4452=0.0548=5.48%

i.e. only 5% are below him in height.

Thus the malepilot is in 5th percentile.

Step-by-step explanation:

An ant can crawl 3/4 of a yard in 1/2 minute. How long will it take for the ant to crawl 12 yards?​

Ant crawls 3/4 of a yard in = 1/2 min = 60/2 sec = 30 sec

Ant crawls 12 yards in = 12 * 30 = 360 sec = 360/60 = 6 minutes

A rectangular garden has a length that is 3 feet longer than its width. Let w represent the width of the garden in feet. The ent
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we're told that the length of the garden is 3 feet longer than its width. Mathematically, we would have

l = w + 3, where

l = length of the garden

w = width of the garden

Again we're told that this same garden has a walkway of about 2 foot wide. Mathematically we would have that as

W(w) = 2, where

W(w) = width of the garden.

That's all the parameters given in the question

Traveling at 45 miles per hour, how many minutes, rounded to the nearest whole number, does it take to drive 240 miles from Orla
IRINA_888 [86]
45 miles ... 1 hour ... 60 minutes
240 miles ... x hours ... x minutes = ?

If you would like to know how many minutes does it take to drive 240 miles from Orlando to Miami, you can calculate this using the following steps:

45 * x = 60 * 240
45 * x = 14400    /45
x = 14400 / 45
x = 320 minutes

Result: You will need 320 minutes to drive 240 miles.
