The children in my subdivision were bored one summer and decided to hold a competition to see who could run to the end of the st

reet in the shortest time. One hundred children participated, and the average finish time was 75 seconds. The SD was 20 seconds and the histogram of the times followed the normal curve. Estimate the percentage of children who finished the race in under 45 seconds.

Answer:

6.7% of children who finished the race in under 45 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 75 seconds

Standard Deviation, σ =  20 seconds

We are given that the distribution of time of completion is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(finished the race in under 45 seconds.)

P(x < 45)

P( x < 45) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{45 - 75}{20}) = P(z < -1.5)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x < 45) = 0.067 = 6.7\%

6.7% of children who finished the race in under 45 seconds.

What is the length of the segment connecting the points A(1,3) and B(6,5)?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>\sqrt{29}  \:  \:  \: or \:  \:  \:5.38 \:  \:  \: units</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the segment connecting two points can be found by using the formula

d =  \sqrt{ ({x1 - x2})^{2} +  ({y1 - y2})^{2}  }  \\

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

A(1,3) and B(6,5)

The length is

|AB|  =  \sqrt{ ({1 - 6})^{2} +  ({3 - 5})^{2}  }  \\  =  \sqrt{ ({ - 5})^{2}  + ( { - 2})^{2} }  \\  =  \sqrt{25 + 4}  \\  =  \sqrt{29}

We have the final answer as

\sqrt{29}  \:  \:  \: or \:  \:  \:5.38 \:  \:  \: units

Hope this helps you

11. This picture shows a table in the shape of a regular hexagon.
disa [49]

Answer:

Sum of interior angles = 720°

One interior angle = 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of interior angles = 180°(n-2)

Where n is the number of sides in a polygon

Therefore, one angle in a regular polygon will be (180°(n-2))÷n

Hence

Sum of interior angles= 180°(6-2)

= 720°

One interior angle = 720°÷6

= 120°

Talja [164]

Answer:

31 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To at least buy the Air-Pods she will need to work at least 31 hours. You can either round at the beginning or end, I'll demonstrate rounding at the end.  Divide $278.10 by $9.00, getting 30.9. You would have to round up to insure you have enough money, getting 31 hours
