Answer:

16% of students will complete the exam in less than 60 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule(68-95-99.7) states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 70

Standard deviation = 10

What percentage of students will complete the exam in less than 60 minutes

60 = 70-10

So 60 is one standard deviation below the mean

By the Empirical Rule, 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean, that is, from 60 to 80 minutes. The other 100-68 = 32% is outside this interval. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, 16% of those are below 60 and 16% of those are above 80.

16% of students will complete the exam in less than 60 minutes

What is the equation for a line passing through (-2,3) and perpendicular to y= -1/2+1 ?
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

y=2x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

what is the equation for a line passing through (-2,3) and perpendicular to y= -1/2<em>x</em>+1 ?

Remember

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes are equal to -1)

The slope of the given line is m=-1/2

so

the opposite reciprocal is m=2

<em>Find the equation of the line in point slope form</em>

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=2\\point\ (-2,3)

substitute

y-3=2(x+2)

<em>Convert to slope intercept form</em>

y=mx+b

isolate the variable y

y-3=2x+4

y=2x+4+3

y=2x+7

Can anyone please help me with this? I don't know how to do it.
ycow [4]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to fill out the graph is to find the slope.

The slope is y = 2x + 1.

Insert the x values of the graph for x in the equation to find y.

y = 2(-6) + 1 = -12 + 1 = -11. (-6, -11).

y = 2(-2) + 1 = -4 + 1= -3. (-2, -3).

Then, for finding x, just insert y.

1 = 2x + 1. Subtract 1 from both sides to isolate x.

0 = 2x. x = 0. (0, 1).

y = 2(2) + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5. (2, 5)

3 = 2x + 1. Subtract 1 from both sides.

2 = 2x. x = 1. (1, 3).

The slope of this function is 2x. The y-intercept is 1. The x-intercept is -2.

Line CD contains points C(7, 4) and D(6, 1). Line JK is parallel to line CD. Which two points lie on line JK?
Andru [333]
From 6,1 to 7,4 
We can determine the slope of the line
rise/run
3/1=3

Now we know the slope of the line, a line parallel to it must obtain the same slope, therefore, I tried to see if the increase in y is three times the increase in x
I found the true pair to be A

(-4,1) and (-2,7)
