For an intramural sports program at a particular college, the time to run one mile is recorded for 200 male students in the prog

ram. These times are approximately normal with mean 8 minutes and standard deviation 1 minute. For the same intramural sports program at the same college, the time to run one mile is recorded for 50 female students in the program. These times are approximately normal with mean 7.5 minutes and standard deviation 2 minutes. Devon participates in the intramural program for men. His best time to run the mile is 6.6 minutes. Kendall participates in the intramural program for women. Her best time to run the mile is 5.7 minutes. Who ran the mile faster relative to their gender?

Answer:

Devon has the lower z-score, so he ran the mile faster relative to his gender.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Who ran the mile faster relative to their gender?

The lower the percentile of time ran, the faster. So whoever has the lower z-score ran the mile faster.

Devon

His best time to run the mile is 6.6 minutes.

These times are approximately normal with mean 8 minutes and standard deviation 1 minute.

We have to find Z when X = 6.6, \mu = 8, \sigma = 1. So

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

Z = \frac{6.6 - 8}{1}

Z = -1.4

Kendall

Her best time to run the mile is 5.7 minutes.

These times are approximately normal with mean 7.5 minutes and standard deviation 2 minutes.

We have to find Z when X = 5.7, \mu = 7.5, \sigma = 2. So

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

Z = \frac{5.7 - 7.5}{2}

Z = -0.9

Devon has the lower z-score, so he ran the mile faster relative to his gender.

Assume the average cost of maintaining a dog is the same from month to month. After 55 months, the dog had cost you a total of $
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Originally, you will <em>pay</em> $95.75 for the dog.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Maintenance cost of dog after 55 months =  $5,468.50

Maintenance cost of dog  after 82 months = $8,053.75

To Find:

How much did you pay for the dog originally = ?

Solution:

It is stated that the maintenance cost is same from month to month

Now 82 - 55 =  27 months

For 27 we have paid

$8,053.75 - $5,468.50

$2585.25

But one month the amount paid will be

\frac{2585.25}{27}

<h3>=>95.75</h3>

Y = -2x - 5
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

A. One line

Step-by-step explanation:

Let rearrange the system of equations into explicit forms:

y = -2\cdot x - 5

6\cdot x + 3\cdot y = -15

3\cdot y = -6\cdot x - 15

y = -2\cdot x - 5

The second equation is identical to the first one, which means that there is just one line.

In a library, the ratio of maths books to science books is 3 : 2 and the ratio of science books to history books is 1 : 3. If th
trapecia [35]

Answer:

60 maths books

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let the following be:</u>

  • Maths books = m
  • Science books = s
  • History books = h

<u>And we have ratios and sum:</u>

  • m/s = 3/2
  • s/h = 1/3
  • m+s+h = 220

<u>From the ratios we get:</u>

  • m = 3s/2
  • h= 3s

<u>Considering the above in the sum of books:</u>

  • m+s+h = 220
  • 3s/2 + s + 3s = 220
  • 3s + 2s + 6s = 2*220
  • 11s = 440
  • s = 440/11
  • s = 40

<u>Number of maths books:</u>

  • m = 3s/2 = 3*40/2 = 60
