Answer:

The minimum percentage of the commuters in the city has a commute time within 2 standard deviations of the mean is 75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have no information about the shape of the distribution, so we use Chebyshev's Theorem to solve this question.

Chebyshev Theorem

At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

An in general terms, the percentage of measures within k standard deviations of the mean is given by 100(1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}}).

Applying the Theorem

The minimum percentage of the commuters in the city has a commute time within 2 standard deviations of the mean is 75%.

A flea weighs 8 decigrams, and an ant weighs 3 milligrams. How much more does a flea weigh than an ant?
Tasya [4]
It should be 7.97 decigrams, since you want to convert 3 milligrams to decigrams (0.03), it is asking "How much more" which means you subtract.  8 subtracted from 0.03 is 7.97.

Hope this helps :)

Morgan uses 1/4 of her supply of raisins to make trail mix and 3/8 of her supply of raisins to make cookies. If morgan uses 5 po
arlik [135]

First, we need to find the total fraction of her raisins she used:

1/4 + 3/8 = 2/8 + 3/8

She used 5/8 of her supply.

Knowing this:

5/8x = 5

We multiply by 8 (the LCD)

5x = 40

x = 8

Her supply was 8 pounds, and after making the food, she now has 3 pounds
