Answer:

a)

Z = -1.58

Z = -1.58 means that a reading speed of 340 wpm is 1.58 standard deviations below the mean reading speed.

b)

Z = 0.67

Z = 0.67 means that a reading speed of 475 wpm is 0.67 standard deviations above the mean reading speed.

c)

Z = -0.25

Z = -0.25 means that a reading speed of 420 wpm is 0.25 standard deviations below the mean reading speed.

d)

Z = 2.92

Z = 2.92 means that a reading speed of 610 wpm is 2.92 standard deviations above the mean reading speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The z-score measures how many standard deviations a measure X is above or below the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 435, \sigma = 60

a. 340 wpm

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{340 - 435}{60}

Z = -1.58

Z = -1.58 means that a reading speed of 340 wpm is 1.58 standard deviations below the mean reading speed.

b. 475 wpm

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{475 - 435}{60}

Z = 0.67

Z = 0.67 means that a reading speed of 475 wpm is 0.67 standard deviations above the mean reading speed.

c. 420wpm

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{420 - 435}{60}

Z = -0.25

Z = -0.25 means that a reading speed of 420 wpm is 0.25 standard deviations below the mean reading speed.

d. 610wpm

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{610 - 435}{60}

Z = 2.92

Z = 2.92 means that a reading speed of 610 wpm is 2.92 standard deviations above the mean reading speed.

A company that manufactures toy trains is making a new boxcar. To fit on the track, the smallest dimension of the toy boxcar mus
pochemuha

Answer:

Length = 12 inches, height = 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to set up a proportion. 2/7, x/42.

Then, you cross multiply and get the setup of 84=7x

Finally, you divide 84 by 7 and get 12.

12 is the length, and there is no other answer that has 12 in the height. You could just do the same proportion to get 3, though.
