2x + a = b Subtract a from both sides

2x = b - a Divide both sides by 2

x = $\frac{b - a}{2}$

Answer:

34.714 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>According to the question we have:</u>

Formula h = - 16t + s
h = 0
s = 555.427 ft
t = ?

<u>Substitute the given values and solve for t:</u>

0 = - 16t + 555.427
16t = 555.427
t = 555.427/16
t = 34.714

Each contestant in the Hunger Games must be trained to compete. Suppose that the time it takes to train a contestant has mean 5

LiRa [457]

Answer:

11.51% probability that it will take less than 450 days to train all the contestants.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
