Answer:

68 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical rule formula states that:

• 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ.

• 95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ.

• 99.7% of data falls within 3 standard deviations from the mean - between μ - 3σ and μ + 3σ.

Mean of 96 and a Standard deviation of 17

Applying , the first empirical rule for 1 standard deviation from the mean, we have:

μ - σ

96 - 17

= 79

μ + σ

96 + 17

= 113

Therefore, the percentage of IQ scores that are between 79 and 113 is 68%

Is 59 rational or irrational explain

saw5 [17]

59 is a rational number
59 is not a irrational number because simply a irrational number is basically
Pi ,E
Or any imperfect squares
A irrational number is a non repeating decimal and has different numbers in each space

Math Help Please

1) In order to solve the equation n/6 = -11.9, you must multiply by 6.

2) $-9m = -45 \\ \\ m = \frac{-45}{-9} \\ \\ m = \frac{45}{9} \\ \\ m = 5 \\ \\ Answer: \fbox {m = 5}$

3) $-14 = \frac{u}{8} \\ \\ -14 \times 8 = u \\ \\ -112 = u \\ \\ u = -112 \\ \\ Answer: \fbox {u = -112}$

4) $-117 = -9h \\ \\ \frac{-117}{-9} = h \\ \\ \frac{117}{9} = h \\ \\ 13 = h \\ \\ h = 13 \\ \\ Answer: \fbox {h = 13}$

5) $\frac{q}{19} = 5 \\ \\ q = 5 \times 19 \\ \\ q = 95 \\ \\ Answer: \fbox {q = 95}$

Algebra 2 Quadratics. Maximum Height of h(t) = -16t + 96t (with steps if possible)

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

max. height = 240

Step-by-step explanation:

Function should be h(t ) = - 16t² + 96t

find the zeros by solving h(t) = 0

- 16t² + 96t = 0 ( take out common factor - 16t )

- 16t(t - 6) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for t

- 16t = 0 ⇒ t = 0

t - 6 = 0 ⇒ t = 6

the maximum vertex is at the midpoint of the zeros

t = $\frac{0+6}{2}$ = 3

h(3) = (- 16 × 3) + (96 × 3) = - 48 + 288 = 240 ← max. height
