Aiden and his sister have 360 quarters together. If Aiden has twice as much as his sister, he has 180 quarters.
360/2 = 180

Aiden divides his quarters into 3 equal piles.
180/3 = 60

Aiden has 60 quarters in each of his 3 piles.

The time for this event for boys in secondary school is known to possess a normal distribution with a mean of 460 seconds and a
AlekseyPX

Answer:

The time that the boys need to beat in order to earn a certificate of recognition from the fitness association is 511.264 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the time for this event for boys in secondary school is known to possess a normal distribution with a mean of 460 seconds and a standard deviation of 40 seconds.

The fitness association wants to recognize the fastest 10% of the boys with certificates of recognition.

<u><em>Let X = time for this event for boys in secondary school</em></u>

SO, X ~ Normal(\mu=460,\sigma^{2} =40^{2})

The z-score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

                               Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean time = 460 seconds

            \sigma = standard deviation = 40 seconds

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

<u>Now, it is given that the fitness association wants to recognize the fastest 10% of the boys with certificates of recognition, which means;</u>

       P(X > x) = 0.10   {where x is the required time which boy need to beat}

       P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{x-460}{40} ) = 0.10

        P(Z > \frac{x-460}{40} ) = 0.10

<em>So, the critical value of x in the z table which represents the top 10% of the area is given as 1.2816, that is;</em>

<em>                   </em>      \frac{x-460}{40} =1.2816

                         {x-460}{} =1.2816\times 40

<em>                           </em>x = 460 + 51.264 = <u>511.264 seconds</u>

Hence, the time that the boys need to beat in order to earn a certificate of recognition from the fitness association is 511.264 seconds.

Can you help me with this​
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

12 only.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the question is asking for f(0), it is asking for the value of <em>y </em>when x = 0.

We see that there is only 1 intersection at x = 0, and the y value would equal 12.

Therefore, our answer is 12 only.

When the sum of \, 528 \, and three times a positive number is subtracted from the square of the number, the result is \, 120. F
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Let x be the unknown number. So, three times that number means 3x, and the square of the number is x^2

We have to sum 528 and three times the number, so we have 528+3x

Then, we have to subtract this number from x^2, so we have

x^2-(3x+528)

The result is 120, so the equation is

x^2 - 3x - 528 = 120 \iff x^2 - 3x - 648 = 0

This is a quadratic equation, i.e. an equation like ax^2+bx+c=0. These equation can be solved - assuming they have a solution - with the following formula

x_{1,2} = \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

If you plug the values from your equation, you have

x_{1,2} = \dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{9-4\cdot(-648)}}{2} = \dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{9+2592}}{2} = \dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{2601}}{2} = \dfrac{3\pm51}{2}

So, the two solutions would be

x = \dfrac{3+51}{2} = \dfrac{54}{2} = 27

x = \dfrac{3-51}{2} = \dfrac{-48}{2} = -24

But we know that x is positive, so we only accept the solution x = 27
