Answer:

68,3 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Empirical rule establishes:

In a normal distribution with mean μ and standard deviation σ we have a  relation between values of the distribution and intervals describes as follows:

( μ ± σ )  contains  68.3 % of all values of the distribution

( μ ± 2σ )  contains 95,4 %       and

( μ ± 3σ )  contains 99.7 %

In our particular case we have that

( μ ± σ )   ⇒    (  70  ±  5 )   ⇒   ( 65 , 75 )

( μ ± 2σ ) ⇒    ( 70   ±  10 ) ⇒   ( 60 , 80 )     and

( μ ± 3σ ) ⇒    ( 70  ±  15  )  ⇒   ( 55 , 85

As we can clearly see 68,3 % of values fall between values going from 65 up to 75 inches

The distance between town X and town Y is 124 kilometres and a car uses 25 litres of petrol to make the journey. after the engin
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

49 litres of petrol are needed to travel from town X to town Y and back.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, first off, the variable X and Y, as well as the distance given (124 km) aren't important pieces of information in this equation. They're only there to throw you off and confuse you.

25L of <em>p</em> (petrol) to make the entire journey. After the engine has been tuned, it requires 2% less <em>p</em> than before it was tuned.

2%/100 = 0.02

0.02 * 25L = 0.5L

25L - 0.5L = 24.5L

Now, don't forget, at the end of the word problem we're asked how many litres of <em>p</em> would be required to travel from <em>x</em> to <em>y</em> <em><u>AND BACK</u></em>. So it's not only 24.5L, it's double that (24.5 * 2 = 49L)

Good luck!!

Which trigonometric functions are equivalent to sin (theta)? Select all that apply.(2 correct answers)
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

sin(θ) = sin(θ + 2π) = -sin(-θ)

b and d

This can be shown by substituting a value for θ

sin(π ÷ 3) = 1/2

sin(π ÷ 3 + 2π) = 1/2

-sin(π ÷ 3) = -1/2

-sin(-π ÷ 3) = 1/2

sin(π ÷ 3 + π ÷ 2) = √3/2
