Bob and Doug are both 100-meter sprinters. Bob's sprint time is normally distributed with a mean of 10.00 seconds and Doug's spr

int time is also normally distributed, but with a mean of 9.90 seconds. Both have the same standard deviation in sprint time σ. Assuming that Bob and Doug have independent sprint times, and given that there is a .95 chance that Doug beats Bob in any given race, find σ.

Answer:

The standard deviation (σ) = 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is to find the standard deviation.

STEEP 1: FIND THE MEAN

(10+9.9) ÷ 2 = 9.95

STEP 2: SQUARE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPRINT TIME AND MEAN

10-9.95= 0.05

0.05^2 = 0.0025

9.9 - 9.95= -0.0025

-0.0025^2 = 0.0025

STEP 3: FIND THE VARIANCE

0.0025+0.0025= 0.005

0.005/2= 0.0025

STEP 4: FIND THE STANDARD DEVIATION (σ )

√variance

√0.0025 = 0.05

Therefore

σ = 0.05.

From the standard deviation, the percentage probability of the higher value to occurs is

0.05×100= 5%

That means Doug has 95%

And Bob has 5%

A bag of dog food says that it now contains 20% more. Originally, it came with 63 ounces of dog food. How much dog food does the
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

75.6 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one.

Given data

we are told that the original quantity of food is 63 ounces

and the increase is in food is by 20%

Step two:

let us find the increase in ounces

=20/100*63

=0.2*63

=12.6 ounces

Hence the amount of food in the bag now is

=12.6+63

=75.6 ounces

Answer:

Aria unui paralelogram =6\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Folosind formula:

Aria unui paralelogram = (baza x înălțimea)

                                       = (3√2 x 2)

                                        =6\sqrt{2}

bixtya [17]

Answer:

21, 28, 36

1 + 2 = 3

3 + 3 = 6

6 + 4 = 10

10 + 5 = 15

Next three terms,

15 + 6 = 21

21 + 7 = 28

28 + 8 = 36.
