Answer:
<em>.125 or 1/8</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is looking for the difference divided by the long ride. The long ride is 6 1/4 miles, so now we need to find the difference.
In order to do this, we take the larger distance and subtract the smaller distance.
We would take (Tip: Use decimals when you can. They are easier to work with ) 6.25 - 5.5 and we get .75 or 3/4 of a mile.
Now, we put .75 over 6.25 and simplify.
.125 or 1/8
Answer:
3/4 or .75
Step-by-step explanation:
find two sets of coordinates on the grid. I choose 60,40 and 20,10. then first you subtract the y coordinates so 40 -10 which is 30 next you subtract the x coordinates so 60-20 which is 40 so your fraction is 30/40 which simplifies to 3/4 which as a decimal is .75
The proportion is 0.4401.
We find z-scores that correspond with both ends of this interval. Z-scores are given using the formula:

For the lower end,

The proportion of scores to the left of this number is 0.2514.
For the higher end, the z-score is

The proportion of scores to the left of this number is 0.6915.
To find just the proportion of scores between these two, we subtract;
0.6915-0.2514 = 0.4401.
