The 85th percentile is the cutoff time

such that

In other words, the 85th percentile refers to the time needed to belong to the top 15% of the distribution; more generally, the

percentile is the top

of the distribution.
Anyway, to find this value of

, transform

to a random variable

with the standard normal distribution using

where

is the mean of

and

is the standard deviation of

Here

is used to denote the z-score corresponding to the cutoff time

. Referring to a z-score table, you find that this occurs for

- :-) heyoo my name is cole
it’s 9 sq feet
use A=b•h/2
the base length is 6
the height is 3
6•3= 18 then divided by 2 is 9
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
butterfly = x minutes
breast = y minutes
total is 50 minutes
breast stroke = butterfly +20
Part A
x+y = 50
y = x+20
Part B
Substitute the second equation into the first
x+ (x+20) = 50
2x+20 = 50
2x+20-20 = 50-20
2x = 30
2x/2 = 30/2
x = 15
y = x+20
y = 20+15
y = 35 minutes
35 minutes on the breast stroke
Part C
45 minutes on the butterfly is not reasonable
We only have a total of 50 minutes
50-45 = 5
But he spend more time on the breast stroke ( 20 minutes more), but if he spend 45 minutes on the butterfly, he would have to spend less on the breast stroke.
