Nastasia [14]

Answer:

L = 25 m

Step-by-step explanation:

L = 4W - 3

perimeter = 2(L + W)

64 = 2(4W - 3 + W)

divide both sides by 2:

32 = 5W - 3

add 3 to each side:

5W = 35

divide both sides by 5:

W =7

L = 4(7) - 3 = 25

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Nicole's z-score:

ACT scores have a mean of about 21 with a standard deviation of about 5, which means that $\mu = 21, \sigma = 5$
