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

Explain how multiplying playing with 6 is like multiplying with 3
mote1985 [20]
6 is only the double of 3
3×2=6

Any number that's multiplied by 6 will be the double of any number multiplied by 3, or vice versa, any number multiplied by 3 will be half of any number multiplied by 6. This is because 6 is a multiple of 3.

Take for example:
850×6=5100 ⇔ 850×(3×2)=5100

Which of the following numbers has a value between 1.4 and 1 4/5? a. 1.34 b. 170%
Lyrx [107]
Here, numbers are: 1.4 and 1 4/5 = 9//5 = 1.8
Now, you need to know, which number is between 1.4 and 1.8

1.34 is lower than 1.4 So, it can't
170% = 170/100 = 1.7

So, 170% is that number between 1.4 and 1 4/5

Hope this helps!
