We have been given that the ages of students in a school are normally distributed with a mean of 15 years and a standard deviation of 2 years.

We are asked to find the percentage of students that are between 14 and 18 years old.

First of all, we will find z-score corresponding to 14 and 18 using z-score formula.

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

z=\frac{14-15}{2}

z=\frac{-1}{2}

z=-0.5

Similarly, we will find the z-score corresponding to 18.

z=\frac{18-15}{2}

z=\frac{3}{2}

z=1.5

Now we will find the probability of getting a z-score between -0.5 and 1.5 that is P(-0.5.

P(-0.5

Using normal distribution table, we will get:

P(-0.5

P(-0.5

Let us convert 0.62465 into percentage.

0.62465\times 100\%=62.465\%\approx 62.5\%

Therefore, approximately 62.5\% of the students are between 14 and 18 years old.

Someone please help me find x
a_sh-v [17]
So for a tangent and a secant, you multiply x^2 (since it’s a tangent you square it) and test that equal to 6(6+12) so now you have x^2=6(6+12). solve for X to get sqrt(108) or 10.4

the equation is — tan^2=outside x whole thing

remember to ADD the entire secant (so add 6 plus 12) don’t multiply them (6x12)

x^2=6(6+12)
x^2=6(18) OR x^2=36+72
x^2=108
x=sqrt(108) OR x=10.4
