if the mean is 70 minutes, then 90 minutes is 2 standard deviations above 70. if you look at the bell curve i drew, the percent of exams that took over 90 minutes is 2.5% <span>

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.

A _[blank 1]_ is a number whose only factors are 1 and itself. If a number has other factors besides 1 and itself, it is called
kykrilka [37]

Numbers whose only factors are 1 and itself is known as prime numbers , numbers whose factors besides 1 and itself are composite numbers, we can use the sieve of Eratosthenes to determine whether the number is prime or composite.

Given a paragraph in which there are blanks:

A _____ is a number whose only factors are 1 and itself. If a number has  factors besides 1 and itself, it is called a _____. You can use divisibility rules or _______ to help you determine whether a number is prime or composite.

We are required to fill the blank with appropriate options.

We have to fill "prime numbers" in the first blank.

We have to fill "composite numbers" in the second blank.

We have to fill "the sieve of Eratosthenes" in the third blank.

Hence numbers whose only factors are 1 and itself is known as prime numbers , numbers whose factors besides 1 and itself are composite numbers, we can use the sieve of Eratosthenes to determine whether the number is prime or composite.

How much of a radioactive kind of silver will be left after 50 seconds in the half-life is 25 seconds and you start with 204gram
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

51 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

After 25 seconds  204 * 1/2 = 102 grams is left.

So after 50 seconds ( 2 * 25), 102 * 1/2 = 51 g are left.

The first five terms of a sequence are
Elena L [17]

Answer:

(a) 7 + 3( n - 1 )

(b) 1006

Step-by-step explanation:

ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE.

The number of term of an Arithmetic progression has the formular :

nth term = a + ( n - 1 ) d

a = 7

d = 10 - 7 = 3

nth term = 7 + ( n - 1 ) 3

= 7 + 3n - 3

= 7 + 3( n - 1 )

Therefore,

the nth term of the sequence

= 7 + 3( n - 1 )

(b) For the 1000th term

= 7 + 3 ( 1000-1 )

= 7 + ( 999 )

7 + 999 = 1006

Therefore,

the 1000th term = 1006
