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.

She spent 1/6 of it on snacks and 1/3 of it on a new book. She saves the rest. What fraction of the money did she save?
Doss [256]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>First step is that you need to have the same denominators so 1/3=2/6</em>

<em>If she spent 1/6 on snacks and 2/6 on a book which means she spent 3/6</em>

<em>so the fraction of what she saved is 3/6 or 1/2</em>

What is a simpler form of the expression? -3(-4y+3)+7y please explain, i don’t understand it.
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

19y - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the acronym PEMDAS. First, we need to calculate -3(-4y+3) by distributing. This is -3 * (-4y) + (-3) * 3 = 12y - 9 so the expression becomes 12y - 9 + 7y. Next, we need to combine like terms. 12y and +7y are like terms since they both have y so combining them gives us 12y + 7y = 19y. -9 stays by itself since there are no other constants so the final answer is 19y - 9.

This can be written as:

Range: {-4, 3, 5}
