At a particular chess club, it is quite common for a chess game to take over two hours to complete. Suppose that the lengths of

these games are normally distributed with a mean of 153 minutes and a standard deviation of 45 minutes. Games which last in the longest 1% of all contests are given special recognition on an "Endurance Board" for all club members to see. How long would a game need to last to qualify for the "Endurance Board?"

Answer:

A game would need to be at least 257.67 minutes long to qualify for the Endurance Board.

257.67 minutes = 257 minutes, 40 seconds = 4 hours, 17 minutes, 40 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Games that are given special recognition on the Endurance Board are the games that last in the longest 1% of all games.

If X is the random variable that represents the time a chess game takes before it is completed.

X is said to be normally distributed with

Mean = μ = 153 minutes

Standard deviation = σ = 45 minutes

Let games that last the longest 1% of the time last for a minimum of x' minutes.

P(X > x') = 1% = 0.01

P(X ≤ x') = 1 - P(X > x') = 1 - 0.01

P(X ≤ x') = 0.99

Indicating that such games are longer than 99% of all chess games.

This is a normal distribution problem

Let the z-score for these type of longest games with a minimum duration of x' minutes be z'.

P(X ≤ x') = P(z ≤ z') = 0.99

From the normal distribution table, z' = 2.326

z-score of any value is given as the value minus the mean divided by the standard deviation.

z = (x - μ)/σ

So,

z' = (x' - μ)/σ

2.326 = (x' - 153)/45

x' = (2.326×45) + 153

x' = 104.67 + 153 = 257.67 minutes = 257 minutes, 40 seconds.

Hope this Helps!!!

Find the remaining side of a 45° – 45° – 90° triangle if the shorter sides are 2/3 each .
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The length of the longer side is 2√2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A 45-45-90 triangle is a right-angled triangle.

In fact, since it has two angles equal, it is a right angled isosceles triangle. What we are saying is that two of its sides are equal.

Hence, we have two short sides which are the opposite and the adjacent and a longer side which is the hypotenuse

Thus, to find the length of the longer side, we employ Pythagoras’ theorem and it states that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides;

Mathematically, let’s call the longer side x

so x^2 = (2/3)^2 + (2/3)^2

x^2 = 4/9 + 4/9

x^2 = 8/9

x = √(8/9)

x = 2√2/3

How much carpet would you need in square feet to cover a floor with dimensions of 12 feet by 15 feet?
Alisiya [41]

Answer:8

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = Length x Width.

simple room measurement

Measure the length using the distance from one wall to the opposite wall.

Measure the width from wall to wall.

Add 2 to 4 inches to each side. This accounts for waste, doors and slanting walls. It’s easy to cut a little off for a perfect fit, but it’s impossible to add without creating unsightly seams.

Multiply the length times the width or enter those into the calculator above. This is your total square footage for that room.

Repeat this process for each room.

Referring to the figure, find the value of x
mestny [16]

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

All triangle angles add up to 180 so:

x + 5x + 72 = 180

6x + 72 = 180

6x = 180 - 72

6x = 108

x = 18

Theresa’s computer at home has 1 terabyte of storage. How many more bits of storage does her computer have than the combined bit
posledela

Answer:

Not enough information provided

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference between one terabyte and the storage available to the other mediums, we would need to know the storage available to those mediums.  They can all have potentially different amounts of storage space, so we have no way to answer that part of the question.

We can however find out how many bits her computer has.  There are two lines of thought  to follow though.  kilo, mega, giga etc each generally note a multiple of 1000 in common terms.  In computer tech though, the number 1024, or 2¹⁰, is often used instead.

Starting with the layman's powers of 10, a terabyte is a thousand gigabytes, which in turn is a thousand megabytes, which is a thousand kilobytes, which is a thousand bytes.

That means that a terabyte stores 1 × 10¹² bytes.  A byte however is eight bits, giving us 8 × 10¹² bits.

Using the nerdier powers of 2 then, a byte is eight bits, so we'll call that 2³.  We then go up by multiples of 2¹⁰.  With the same logic above, a terabyte is 2¹⁰ gigabytes, which is 2¹⁰ megabytes, which is 2¹⁰ kilobytes, which is 2¹⁰ bytes.  Adding the exponents up, then a terabyte would be 2⁴³ bits

So depending on whether you use the powers of ten or powers of 2 conventions, then a terabyte is either 8 × 10¹² bits, or 2⁴³ bits.

If you want to express the latter as a power of ten for proper scientific notation, then it would be 8.796093022208 × 10¹² - a rather useless way of expressing it, but just to cover all bases.

Find the domain of the function. (Enter your answer using interval notation.)
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

(-\infty,-9)\cup(-9,\infty)

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a rational function is all real numbers <em>except </em>for when the denominator equals 0.

So, to find the domain restrictions, set the denominator to 0 and solve for x.

We have the rational function:

s(y)=\frac{7y}{y+9}

Set the denominator to 0:

y+9=0

Subtract 9:

y\neq-9

So, the domain is all real numbers except for -9.

In other words, our domain is all values to the left of negative 9 and to the right of negative 9.

In interval notation, this is:

(-\infty,-9)\cup(-9,\infty)

And we're done :)
