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 2 numbers add to get 2 and multiply to 4
rusak2 [61]
Factor 4
4=1 times 4
2 times 2
they don't add to 2
set up equation
x+y=2
xy=4

first equation, subtract x from both sides
y=2-x
subsitute for y
x(2-x)=4
distribute
2x-x^2=4
add x^2
2x=x^2+4
subtract 2x
0=x^2-2x+4
use quadratic formula which is
if you have ax^2+bx+c=0 then
x=\frac{ -b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a} so

1x^2-2x+4=0
a=1
b=-2
c=4
x=\frac{ -(-2)+/-\sqrt{(-2)^{2}-4(1)(4)} }{2(1)}
x=\frac{ 2+/-\sqrt{4-16} }{2}
x=\frac{ 2+/-\sqrt{-12} }{2}
we have \sqrt{-12} and that doesn't give a real solution
therefor there are no real solutions
but if you want to solve fully
x=\frac{ 2+/-2\sqrt{-3} }{2}
i=\sqrt{-1}
x=\frac{ 2+/-2i\sqrt{3} }{2}
x=1+/-i\sqrt{3}
x=1-i\sqrt{3} or x=1+i\sqrt{3} (those are the 2 numbers)

The graph represents function 1, and the equation represents funtion 2:
horsena [70]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The rate of change of a linear equation is a constant that is the same that the slope

step 1

we have

The equation of the graph (function 1) is equal to

y=4

Is a horizontal line

The slope is equal to zero

so

The rate of change of function 1 is zero

step 2

The equation of the function 2 is

y=8x+12

This is a linear equation in slope intercept form

where

the slope is equal to m=8

so

The rate of change of function 2 is 8

therefore

The rate of change of function 2 is 8 more than the rate of change of function 1

A family is relocating from St. Louis, Missouri, to California. Due to an increasing inventory of houses in St. Louis, it is tak
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

a. Assume that the population has a normal distribution.

b. The 90% confidence interval of the mean sale time for all homes in the neighborhood is between 219.31 days and 240.69 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

We have to assume normality.

Question b:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.05 = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.645\frac{35}{\sqrt{29}} = 10.69

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 230 - 10.69 = 219.31 days.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 230 + 10.69 = 240.69 days.

The 90% confidence interval of the mean sale time for all homes in the neighborhood is between 219.31 days and 240.69 days.
