You read 2/5 of the remainder on Sunday. That means 3/5 of the remainder are unread (1- 2/5). It is given that 36 pages are unread. Therefore 3/5 of the remainder is equal to 36. Set up equation and solve for x which will be the remainder
3/5x=36
x=36(5/3)
x=60
Answer:
1 solution; (1,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Whenever two lines intersect, their solution is the point that the two share in common. Here, it's (1,4), so that is the answer.
It is possible to calculate mathematically the area under the normal curve between any two values of z.
However, tables/software have been developed to give the areas under the normal curve to the left of particular values of z. The function is the probability of Z<z, or P(Z<z).
The area between two values z1 and z2 (where z2>z1) is therefore
P(Z<z2)-P(Z<z1).
For example, to find the area between z1=1.5, z2=2.5
is
P(Z<2.5)-P(Z<1.5)
=0.99379-0.93319
=0.06060
(above values obtained by software, such as R)
For example, the value P(Z<2.5) can be calculated using
P(Z<2.5)=erf(2.5/sqrt(2))/2+1/2
where erf(x) is a mathematical function that does not have an explicit formula (calculated by summation of series, or tabulated).
There are 60 seconds in a minute.
There are 60 minutes in an hour.
This means that there'd be 600 minutes in 10 hours.
And if there are 60 seconds in a minute, there are 600 x 60 seconds in 600 minutes.
600 x 60 = 600 x 10 x 6 = 6000 x 6 = 36000
So we know that there are 36000 seconds in 10 hours.
