Given that normally distributed data set has a mean of 55 and 99.7% of data fall between 47.5 and 62.5.

Let s be the standard deviation of data set.

Since 99.7% data fall within 3 standard deviations of mean, z-value for 47.5 and 62.5 has an absolute value of 3.

That is |z|=3

But z= \frac{x-mean}{standard deviation}

Let us plugin x=47.5 and mean =55 and equate it to 3.

That is |\frac{47.5-55}{s}|  = 3

             |\frac{-7.5}{s} | =3

Since x is always positive ( being standard deviation), |\frac{-7.5}{s} | = \frac{|-7.5|}{s} = \frac{7.5}{s}

Hence  \frac{7.5}{s}= 3

             s=\frac{7.5}{3}  = 2.5

We will get same value with 62.5 as well.

Hence standard deviation of data set is 2.5.

The length of a rectangle is 12 less than the width find the length and width of the rectangle if the area is 160 square meters
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

the width is 13.11meter and the length is 1.11meter

Step-by-step explanation:

let the width be x and the length be x-12

area = 160 = l×b = x×x-12

x×x-12 = 160

x^2 = 172

x= 13.11

thus, the width is 13.11 and the length is 1.11

denpristay [2]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

the difference is -5

  • nth=a+(n-1)d
  • a=253,n=49,d=5
  • 253+(49-1)×-5
  • 253+48×-5
  • 253+(-240)
  • 253-240=13

the 49th term is 13
