At Burnt Mesa Pueblo, archaeological studies have used the method of tree-ring dating in an effort to determine when prehistoric

people lived in the pueblo. Wood from several excavations gave a mean of (year) 1256 with a standard deviation of 41 years. The distribution of dates was more or less mound-shaped and symmetrical about the mean. Use the empirical rule to estimate the following.
(a) a range of years centered about the mean in which about 68% of the data (tree-ring dates) will be found
between and A.D.
(b) a range of years centered about the mean in which about 95% of the data (tree-ring dates) will be found
between and A.D.
(c) a range of years centered about the mean in which almost all the data (tree-ring dates) will be found
between and A.D.

Answer:

a) (1215, 1297)

b) (1174,  1338)

c) (1133, 1379)      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 1256

Standard Deviation, σ = 41

Empirical Rule:

  • Also known as 68-95-99.7 rule.
  • It states that almost all the data lies within three standard deviation for a normal data.
  • About 68% of data lies within 1 standard deviation of mean.
  • About 95% of data lies within two standard deviation of mean.
  • About 99.7% of data lies within 3 standard deviation of mean.

a) range of years centered about the mean in which about 68% of the data lies

\mu \pm 1(\sigma)\\=1256 \pm 41\\=(1215, 1297)

68% of data will be found between 1215 years and 1297 years.

b) range of years centered about the mean in which about 95% of the data lies

\mu \pm 2(\sigma)\\=1256 \pm 2(41)\\=1256 \pm 82\\=(1174, 1338)

95% of data will be found between 1174 years and 1338 years.

c) range of years centered about the mean in which about all of the data lies

\mu \pm 3(\sigma)\\=1256 \pm 3(41)\\=1256 \pm 123\\=(1133, 1379)

All of data will be found between 1133 years and 1379 years.

25 POINTS!!! The equation y=470x represents the relationship between x, the time that a plane flies in hours, and y, the distanc
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For plane A,

Equation that represents the relationship between time 'x' and distance 'y' is,

y = 470x

By comparing this equation with the slope-intercept form of the equation,

y = mx + b

m = slope = 470

b = 0

Here, slope represents the speed of plane A.

Therefore, speed of plane A = 470 mi per hour

For plane B,

From the given table,

Slope of the graph = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

                                = \frac{960-480}{2-1}

                                = 480

Speed of plane B = 480 miles per hour

Since, speed of plane B is more than plane A,

Plane B is flying faster.

John is driving to his office to attend a meeting. In the first 10 minutes, he covers a distance of 1 mile every minute. Then he
Georgia [21]

Answer:

The total distance cover by John is 15 min to reach his office .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as ;

In the first 10 minutes , the distance cover is 1 miles every minutes

So, for 10 minutes , total distance cover by John = 10 × 1 = 10 miles

Again ,

John cover distance of 0.5 miles for every minutes , he travel for next 10 min

So, for next 10 min, total distance cover by John = 10 × 0.5 = 5 miles

So, The total distance cover by john = 10 miles + 5 miles = 15 miles

Hence The total distance cover by John is 15 min to reach his office . Answer
