-x(3x-10)=8
-3x^2+10x=8 (DISTRIBUTE)
-3x^2+10x-8=0 (BALANCE TO ZERO)
(-3x+4)(x-2)=0  (FACTOR)
(-x+4/3)(x-2)=0 (SIMPLIFY)
{x=2 OR x= 4/3}

The distances male long jumpers for State College jump are approximately normal with a mean of 263 inches and a standard deviati
Effectus [21]

Answer:

His jump was of 272.45 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

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 the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 263, \sigma = 14

75th percentile

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.75. So X when Z = 0.675

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

0.675 = \frac{X - 263}{14}

X - 263 = 14*0.675

X = 272.45

His jump was of 272.45 inches
