Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that, a mouse covered a distance of 3/24 miles over a distance of 3 hours. Each hour, the mouse traveled the same distance. Distance traveled in 1 hour can be calculated by dividing 3/24 miles by 3. So,
Matt calculations shows that the distance is 3/8 hours. While dividing 3/24 by 3, he doesn't take reciprocal of 3 as a result he get 9 on numerator and 24 on denominator. Simplified fraction of 9/24 is 3/8. But the correct answer should be 1/24 hours.
Answer:
A. Positive
Step-by-step explanation:
They ask us about the relationship between reading and grades.
First you have to go to the first part of the statement that says:
"Dr. Yancy conducted a correlation study in which she found that the more time children in her study read at home the better they performed in school"
In this case they tell us that there is a positive correlation, that the more you read the better your performance in school is.
Performance is your grades, and home study can be reading, so the score is positive in the second half, too.
The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
0.0764
Explanation:
We will use a z-score to answer this. The formula for a z-score is
, where μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation. Using our information in this problem, we have
Using a z-table, we look up the z-score 1.43. The area under the curve to the left of, or less than, this value is 0.9236. This means the probability that the time is greater than this is 1-0.9236 = 0.0764.
D. The distribution for town A is positively skewed, but the
distribution for town B is symmetric.
