This is a classic question on Speed, time, & distance.

1. When time traveled in each segment is constant, then average speed is simple mean of speeds.

2. When distance traveled in each segment is constant, then average speed is reciprocal of simple mean of reciprocal of speeds. It is basically called Harmonic mean.

So this question falls in the category of 2.

=> So, average speed = Reciprocal of mean of reciprocals of 40 & 50.

=> Average speed = Reciprocal of mean of 1/40 & 1/50.

<span>=> Average speed = Reciprocal of (1/40 + 1/50)/2 = Reciprocal of (5+4)/400 = 44 4/9 .
Hope this helps</span>

A new extended-life light bulb has an average life of 750 hours, with a standard deviation of 50 hours. If the life of these lig
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

99.7% of the distribution will be between 600 hours and 900 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 750

Standard deviation = 50

What percent of the distribution will be between 600 hours and 900 hours?

600 = 750 - 3*50

600 is 3 standard deviations below the mean

900 = 750 + 3*50

900 is 3 standard deviations above the mean

By the Empirical Rule, 99.7% of the distribution will be between 600 hours and 900 hours.
