95% of red lights last between 2.5 and 3.5 minutes.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

In this case,

  • The mean M is 3 and
  • The standard deviation SD is given as 0.25

Assume the bell shaped graph of normal distribution,

The center of the graph is mean which is 3 minutes.

We move one space to the right side of mean ⇒ M + SD

⇒ 3+0.25 = 3.25 minutes.

Again we move one more space to the right of mean ⇒ M + 2SD

⇒ 3 + (0.25×2) = 3.5 minutes.

Similarly,

Move one space to the left side of mean ⇒ M - SD

⇒ 3-0.25 = 2.75 minutes.

Again we move one more space to the left of mean ⇒ M - 2SD

⇒ 3 - (0.25×2) =2.5 minutes.

The questions asks to approximately what percent of red lights last between 2.5 and 3.5 minutes.

Notice 2.5 and 3.5 fall within 2 standard deviations, and that 95% of the data is within 2 standard deviations. (Refer to bell-shaped graph)

Therefore, the percent of  red lights that last between 2.5 and 3.5 minutes is 95%

A rhombus has its diagonals 7cm and 6 cm whats its area
ipn [44]

\large\frak{ Given :}

  • Diagonal of a rhombus = 7 cm and 6 cm

\large\frak{Find:}

  • Area of a rhombus

\large\frak{Explanation :}

\small\tt Area = \frac{1}{2}× d¹ × d²

<u>Where,</u>

  • d¹ = length of diagonal 1
  • d² = length of diagonal 2

\implies \small\tt{ \frac{1}{2}  \times 7 \times 6}

\implies\small\tt{ \frac{1}{2} \times 42 }

\implies \small\tt{Area = 21  {cm}^{2}  }

Find the area of the rectangle below multiplying its length and width (5x-4)(2x-5)
Serhud [2]
Use the FOIL method to multiply these terms.  Multiply the first, outside, inside, and last terms:


(5x - 4)(2x - 5)

(5x)(2x) + (5x)(-5) + (-4)(2x) + (-4)(-5)

10x² - 25x - 8x + 20

10x² - 33x + 20


The area of the rectangle should be 10x² - 33x + 20.

Which inequality is true for all real numbers? check all that apply.
skad [1K]

Answer:

<h2>3. If a ≥ b, then a + c ≥ b + c </h2><h2>4. If c > d, then a– c < a – d</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequalities 3 and 4 are the right ones, because they are actually properties of inequalities.

The other choices aren't correct. For example, the first choice: a – b < a + b, it's not true, because you must apply the same change at each side of the inequality, otherwise you'll ruin the expression.

Choices 2 and 5 are also false.

Therefore, the right answers are 3 and 4.
