Answer:

a) 200 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference in the distance = 50 yards

Difference in speed = 8 - 6 = 2 y/s

Time to cover the gap is:

50/2 = 25 seconds

Sandra will run the distance:

25*8 = 200 yards

The total length of pencils A, B and C is 29 cm. Pencil a is 11 cm shorter then pencil B, and pencil B is twice as long a pencil

satela [25.4K]

The length of pencil A is 5 cm

Solution:

Let the length of pencil A be "x"

Let the length of pencil B be "y"

Let the length of pencil C be "z"

The total length of pencils A, B and C is 29 cm

Therefore,

length of pencil A + length of pencil B + length of pencil C = 29

x + y + z = 29 ------------ eqn 1

Pencil A is 11 cm shorter then pencil B

x = y - 11 ------- eqn 2

Pencil B is twice as long a pencil C

y = 2z

$z = \frac{y}{2}$ ------ eqn 3

Substitute eqn 2 and eqn 3 in eqn 1

$y - 11 + y + \frac{y}{2} = 29\\\\2y + \frac{y}{2} = 29 + 11\\\\\frac{4y+y}{2} = 40\\\\5y = 80\\\\y = 16$

Substitute y = 16 in eqn 2

x = 16 - 11

x = 5

Thus length of pencil A is 5 cm

. Exam scores for a large introductory statistics class follow an approximate normal distribution with an average score of 56 an

Andru [333]

Answer:

0.1% probability that the average score of a random sample of 20 students exceeds 59.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using 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.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 56, \sigma = 5, n = 20, s = \frac{5}{\sqrt{20}} = 1.12$
