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%

Find the range of the function:
-BARSIC- [3]
F(x) = x + 2
when x = 1, f(1) = 1 + 2 = 3
Therefore range for x ≠ 1 is y ≠ 3.

The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 4 inches more than twice the length of the shorter leg. the length of the hy
Serjik [45]

The Pythagorean's Theorem for our situation would look like this:

shortleg^2+longleg^2=hypotenuse^2

So let's call the short leg s, the long leg l and the hypotenuse h. It appears that all our measurements are based on the measurement of the short leg. The long leg is 4 more than twice the short leg, so that expression is l=2s+4; the hypotenuse measure is 6 more than twice the short leg, so that expression is h=2s+6. And the short leg is just s. Now we can rewrite our formula accordingly:

s^2+(2s+4)^2=(2s+6)^2

And of course we have to expand. Doing that will leave us with

s^2+4s^2+8s+8s+16=4s^2+12s+12s+36

Combining like terms we have

5s^2+16s+16=4s^2+24s+36

Our job now is to get everything on one side of the equals sign and solve for s

s^2-8s-20=0

That is now a second degree polynomial, a quadratic to be exact, and it can be factored several different ways. The easiest is to figure what 2 numbers add to be -8 and multiply to be -20. Those numbers would be 10 and -2. Since we are figuring out the length of the sides, AND we know that the two things in math that will never EVER be negative are time and distance/length, -2 is not an option. That means that the short side, s, measures 10. The longer side, 2s+4, measures 2(10)+4 which is 24, and the hypotenuse, 2s+6, measures 2(10)+6 which is 26. So there you go!

A road sign has the shape of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 48 inches. What is the height of the sign? The road s
Ivenika [448]

The height of the equilateral triangle is 41. 6 inches. Option C

<h3>How to determine the height</h3>

The formula for finding the height of an equilateral triangle is given as;

h = (a√3)/2

we have a = 48 inches

Let's substitute the value

Height, h = \frac{48\sqrt{3} }{2}

Height = \frac{48 * 1. 732}{2}

Height = \frac{83. 14}{2}

Height = 41. 6 Inches

Thus, the height of the equilateral triangle is 41. 6 inches. Option C
