Answer:

If the task is performed in less than or equal to 130.8 seconds, then, the individuals qualify for advanced training.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 150 sec

Standard Deviation, σ = 15 sec

We are given that the distribution of time taken is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.10

P(X < x)  

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 150}{15})=0.10  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

\displaystyle\frac{x - 150}{15} = -1.282\\x = 130.8  

Thus, if the task is performed in less than or equal to 130.8 seconds, then, the individuals qualify for advanced training.

Given three positive integers a, b and c such that a² + b² - c² = 1. Let the number of triangles formed with sides a, b and c wi
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Count pairs (a, b) whose sum of squares is N (a^2 + b^2 = N)

Given a number N, the task is to count all ‘a’ and ‘b’ that satisfy the condition a^2 + b^2 = N.

Note:- (a, b) and (b, a) are to be considered as two different pairs and (a, a) is also valid and to be considered only one time.

Examples:

Input: N = 10

Output: 2

1^2 + 3^2 = 9

3^2 + 1^2 = 9

Input: N = 8

Output: 1

2^2 + 2^2 = 8

3y-12x=24 and goes through point (2,-6) . write your answer in y=mx+b
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

y= 4x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 12x to both sides.

3y=24+12x

The equation is in standard form.

3y=12x+24

Divide both sides by 3.

3

3y

​

=

3

12x+24

​

Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.

y=

3

12x+24

​

Divide 24+12x by 3.

y=4x+8
