Answer:

0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Length = 5 units
  • Number of broken sticks= 3
  • Equal lengths =  5 units/3

<u>See the picture attached for reference.</u>

As you see the best points are the green areas which covers 2 out of 5 zones.

<u>Since it is same for both broken points, the probability of  this is:</u>

  • 2/5*2/5 = 4/ 25 = 0.16

<u>Answer is</u> 0.16

PtichkaEL [24]
Eric is incorrect because since the numbers he rounded 28 and 48 to are greater than 28 and 48 the answer to 28*48 will be less than the answer to 30*50 was.


30*50 = 1500


28*48 = 1344


Hope that helps!! :D

You take a national test in which the mean score is 300 and the standard deviation is 60. You earn a 380.
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

z-score

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the mean and standard deviation of a national test (whole population) it is fair to assume a large population size, and the use of the z-score would be more appropriate, since the z-score is used for the standardization of population data, while the t-score is recommended for samples or small populations.
