Answer:

77.88 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean (m) = 70

Standard deviation (s) = 10

For 80% of student to complete the exam. In the given time

Using the formula :

Zscore = (X - mean) / standard deviation

80th percentile = 80/100 = 0.8 has a Zscore = 0.7881

0.7881 = (X - 70) /10

0.7881 * 10 = X - 70

7.881 = X - 70

7.881 + 70 = X

77.881 = X

Hence, 77.88 minutes should be given

You install 404 feet of fencing along the perimeter of a rectangular yard.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The length of the yard is 102

Step-by-step explanation:

If the width of the yard is 100 feet, and it's a rectangular, that means the other side of the rectangle is also equal to 100 feet. So so far we have 200 feet of the yard covered. Then we do 404-200=204. So the combined length of both the sides is 204. Since they both equal the same length, we can then do 204/2 to get 102. So one side length is 102 and the L, W, L, W of the rectangle is 102, 100, 102, 100. In other words, the rectangle is 102 by 100.
