Answer:

The percentage is P(350 <  X  650 ) = 86.6\%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The population mean is  \mu  =  500

     The standard deviation is  \sigma  =  100

The  percent of people who write this exam obtain scores between 350 and 650    

    P(350 <  X  650 ) =  P(\frac{ 350 -  500}{ 100}

Generally  

               \frac{X -  \mu }{\sigma }  =  Z (The \  standardized \  value \ of  \  X )

   P(350 <  X  650 ) =  P(\frac{ 350 -  500}{ 100}

   P(350 <  X  650 ) =  P(-1.5

   P(350 <  X  650 ) =  P(Z < 1.5) -  P(Z <  -1.5)

From the z-table  P(Z <  -1.5 )  =  0.066807

   and P(Z < 1.5  ) =  0.93319

=>    P(350 <  X  650 ) =  0.93319 -  0.066807

=>  P(350 <  X  650 ) = 0.866

Therefore the percentage is  P(350 <  X  650 ) = 86.6\%

Canadian railcars show weight figures in both imperial and metric. Canadian railways also maintain exclusive use of imperial measurements to describe train length and height in feet and train masses in short tons.

Danielle worked three days last week for a total of 18.25 hours. She worked 6.5 hours on Monday and 5.75 hours on Wednesday. How
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

She worked for 6 hours on Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of hours worked by Danielle last week = 18.25 hours

She worked for three days, Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

Let she worked on Saturday = x hours

Therefore, total hours worked by Danielle in three days = 6.5 + 5.75 + x

And the equation will be,

6.5 + 5.75 + x = 18.25

12.25 + x = 18.25

x = 18.25 - 12.25

x = 6

Therefore, she worked for 6 hours on Saturday.
