Answer:

Porcentage of students score below 62 is close to 0,08%

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule

68-95-99.7

establishes:

The intervals:

[ μ₀ - 0,5σ ,  μ₀ + 0,5σ] contains 68.3 % of all the values of the population

[ μ₀ - σ ,  μ₀ + σ]   contains 95.4 % of all the values of the population

[ μ₀ - 1,5σ ,  μ₀ + 1,5σ] contains 99.7 % of all the values of the population

In our case such intervals become

[ μ₀ - 0,5σ ,  μ₀ + 0,5σ]   ⇒  [ 78 - (0,5)*8 , 78 + (0,5)*8 ]  ⇒[ 74 , 82]

[ μ₀ - σ ,  μ₀ + σ]  ⇒ [ 78 - 8 , 78 +8 ]   ⇒  [ 70 , 86 ]

[ μ₀ - 1,5σ ,  μ₀ + 1,5 σ]  ⇒ [ 78 - 12 , 78 + 12 ]  ⇒ [ 66 , 90 ]

Therefore the last interval

[ μ₀ - 1,5σ ,  μ₀ + 1,5 σ]    ⇒  [ 66 , 90 ]

has as lower limit 66 and contains 99.7 % of population, according to that the porcentage of students score below 62 is very small, minor than 0,15 %

100 - 99,7  = 0,3 %

Only 0,3 % of population is out of   μ₀ ± 1,5 σ, and by symmetry 0,3 /2 = 0,15 % is below the lower limit, 62 is even far from 66 so we can estimate, that the porcentage of students score below 62 is under 0,08 %

What type of triangle is a 9.9 cm, 9 cm, 0.99 cm
Masja [62]
It would be an isosceles triangle. Since there are two sides of the triangle that are congruent, it would be isosceles.

Isosceles has two congruent sides, scalene has none, and equilateral has three.  

(A good tip to do is this: count the number of syllables in each word. Then take away two. That's how many sides that triangle has.)

Ex: i-so-sce-les has four syllables. Take away two, you get two. Therefore, an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides.

Hope that helps!

What is the value of p
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the correct answer selected: 2.

The reason for this is that when there are exponents inside <em>and </em>outside of the parenthesis like this, they are multiplied.

2 times 2 is 4. That's why (8^2)^2 = 8^4
