Answer:

Option C) 2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The distribution of time to complete a standardized exam is approximately normal.

  • The empirical rule states that for a normal distribution,the data will fall within three standard deviations of the mean.
  • 68% of data falls within the first standard deviation from the mean that is \mu \pm \sigma
  • 95% fall within two standard deviations that is \mu \pm 2\sigma
  • 99.7% fall within three standard deviations that is \mu \pm 3\sigma

The students are given 90 minutes to complete the exam.

90 = 70 + 2(10) = \mu + 2\sigma

Around 95% of the students will fall in this interval \mu \pm 2\sigma.

Around 5% will not fall into this interval.

Thus, around 2.5% of the students will not be able to complete their test in 90 minutes.

We considered 2.5% only because the remaining 5% of students would lie on both sides of the mean. Our requirement was only to calculate students who would not be able to complete test even in 9- minutes so we divided this percentage by 2.

craig likes to collect records. last year he had 10 records in his collection. now he has 15 records. what is the percent increa
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

His collection increased in a 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 100% represents 10 records, what percentage would be for 12 records?

x = 12 100% / 10 = 120%

So, if we subtract 120% - 100%, it's gonna result in a difference of 20%, which means that 12 represents a 20% more, or his collection increased in a 20%.
