Answer:

a. 68%

b. 99.7%                

Step-by-step explanation:

Bell-shaped distribution means Normal distribution.

For finding the percentage first we have to calculate the value of: \frac{x-\bar x}{\sigma}

If its value is ±1, then using empirical formula percentage = 68%

If its value is ±2, then using empirical formula percentage = 95%

and, If its value is ±3, then using empirical formula percentage = 99.7%

a. \frac{165 - 173}{8} = -1 \ \ and \ \ \frac{181 - 173}{8} = 1

Thus, 68% of data lie within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

b. \frac{149 - 173}{8} = -3 \ \ and \ \ \frac{197 - 173}{8} = 3

Thus, 99.7% of data lie within 3 standard deviation of the mean.

I have a similar problem here with a slightly different given. 

Heights of men on a baseball team have a bell shaped distrubtion with a mean of 172cm and a standard deviation of 7cm. Using that is the empirical rule, what is the approximate percentage of the men between the following values? 
a) 165 cm and 179cm 
<span>b) 151cm and 193cm
</span>
The solution is:

 <span>a. (165-172)/7 = -1, (179-172)/7 = 1, % by empirical rule = 68% 

b. (151-172)/7 = -3, (193-172)/7 = 3, % by empirical rule = 99.7%
</span>
I hope that by examining the solution for this problem, it could help you  answer your problem on your own.

two bike riders ride around in a circular path. The first rider completes one round in 15 minutes and the second rider completes
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Rider 1 does one round in 15 min, and will complete another in each consecutive multiple of 15 min

Rider 2 does one round in 18 min, and will complete another in each consecutive multiple of 18 min

Assuming that they start together, they will complete another round together in a time that is both multiples of 15min and 18 min.

Then we need to find the smallest common multiple between 15 and 18.

To smallest common multiple between two numbers, a and b, is equal to:

a*b/(greatest common factor between a and b).

Now, the greatest common factor between 15 and 18 can be found if we write those numbers as a product of prime numbers, such as:

15 = 3*5

18 = 2*3*3

The greatest common factor is 3.

Then the smallest common multiple will be:

(15*18)/3 = 90

This means that after 90 mins, they will meet again at the starting place.

You have some money in your wallet. You don't know the exact amount, but you think you have 60 dollars give or take 15 dollars.
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The least amount is 75 dollars.

The biggest amount is 125 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value function will help us determine a  range of possible values since we do not know the exact amount of money.

Defining the function.

Let x be the exact amount of money in my pocket, we can define the equation

And we know that the difference between the exact amount of money with 100 dollars must be either 25 dollars more than what we estimated, or 25 dollars less than the estimation.  So we can write:

We have a difference inside an absolute value, since we know the difference must be either +25 or -25.

Solving for x

Using the definition of absolute value we have

So if the inside of the absolute value is positive we have the first line of the piece-wise function, that is

Solving for x give us

If the inside of the absolute value is negative we have to use the second line of the piece-wise function definition

Solving for x give us

So the least amount of money in my pocket is 75 dollars and the biggest amount is 125 dollars.
