When converting English phrases into mathematical expressions/equations, we do things from left to right. That is why it's 4 - 20 instead of 20 - 4.

This rule is applied to division as well.

44 inches.

All you have to do is find out what 10% of 40 is then add it back to 40. In the case of finding 10% of something you just “chop” of the back number (or move the decimal place forward) so 10% of 40 is 4. The. 40+4=44.

You can also multiply fractions to find the percent of a number but that is not necessary in this case.

Answer:

The distance is 29.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To get this, we will need to add the height of the diving board above the ground plus the distance of the bottom of the pool below the ground

Mathematically, we can have this as:

12.4 + 16.9

= 29.3 feet

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Option a) 50% of output expected to be less than or equal to the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The output of a process is stable and normally distributed.

Mean = 23.5

We have to find the percentage of output expected to be less than or equal to the mean.

Mean of a normal distribution.

  • The mean of normal distribution divides the data into exactly two equal parts.
  • 50% of data lies to the right of the mean.
  • 50% of data lies to the right of the mean

Thus, by property of normal distribution 50% of output expected to be less than or equal to the mean.
