Before the driver applies the brakes ( with the reaction time ):
d 1 = v0 · t = 20 m/s · 0.53 s = 10.6 m
After that: 
v = v0 - a · t1  
0 = 20 m/s - 7 · t1
7 · t1 = 20
t1 = 2.86 s
d 2 = v 0 · t1 - a · t1² / 2
d 2 = 20 m/s · 2.86 s - 7 m/s² · (2.86 s)²/2 = 57.2 m - 28.6 m = 28.6 m
d = d 1 + d 2 = 10.6 m + 28.6 m = 39.2 m
Answer: the stopping distance of a car is 39.2 m.

The weight of oranges growing in an orchard is normally distributed with a mean weight of 3.5 oz. and a standard deviation of 0.
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

(3 oz ; 4oz)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean = 3.5 oz

Standard deviation = 0.5 oz

According to the empirical rule ; 68% is 1 standard deviation from the mean.

Hence, the interval that would represent the middle 68% will be:

(3.5 oz - 0.5 oz) ; (3.5 oz + 0.5oz)

(3 oz ; 4oz)
