For an intramural sports program at a particular college, the time to run one mile is recorded for 200 male students in the prog

ram. These times are approximately normal with mean 8 minutes and standard deviation 1 minute. For the same intramural sports program at the same college, the time to run one mile is recorded for 50 female students in the program. These times are approximately normal with mean 7.5 minutes and standard deviation 2 minutes. Devon participates in the intramural program for men. His best time to run the mile is 6.6 minutes. Kendall participates in the intramural program for women. Her best time to run the mile is 5.7 minutes. Who ran the mile faster relative to their gender?

Answer:

Devon has the lower z-score, so he was faster relative to his gender.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z - score

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Who ran the mile faster relative to their gender?

Who runs in less time the mile is faster, so whoever has the lower z-score is faster relative to their gender.

Devon participates in the intramural program for men. His best time to run the mile is 6.6 minutes.

For men, these times are approximately normal with mean 8 minutes and standard deviation 1 minute.

So we have to find Z when X = 6.6, \mu = 8, \sigma = 1

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

Z = \frac{6.6 - 8}{1}

Z = -1.4

Kendall participates in the intramural program for women. Her best time to run the mile is 5.7 minutes.

For women, these times are approximately normal with mean 7.5 minutes and standard deviation 2 minutes.

So we have to find Z when X = 5.7, \mu = 7.5, \sigma = 2

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

Z = \frac{5.7 - 7.5}{2}

Z = -0.9

Devon has the lower z-score, so he was faster relative to his gender.

(x+3)(3x² - 5x - 10) multiply polynomial
brilliants [131]

Answer:

  • \boxed{\sf{3x^3+4x^2-25x-30}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\underline{\text{SOLUTION:}}

To isolate the term of x from one side of the equation, you must multiply by a polynomial.

\underline{\text{GIVEN:}}

:\Longrightarrow: \sf{(x+3)(3x^2 - 5x - 10)}

<u>You have to solve with parentheses first.</u>

:\Longrightarrow \sf{x\cdot \:3x^2+x\left(-5x\right)+x\left(-10\right)+3\cdot \:3x^2+3\left(-5x\right)+3\left(-10\right)}

<u>Solve.</u>

\sf{x*3x=3x^3}

x(-5x)=-5x²

\sf{x(-10)=-10x}

3*3x²=9x²

3(-5x)=-15x

3(-10)=-30

<u>Then, rewrite the problem down.</u>

\sf{3x^3-5x^2-10x+9x^2-15x-30}

<u>Combine like terms.</u>

\Longrightarrow: \sf{3x^3-5x^2+9x^2-10x-15x-30}

<u>Add/subtract the numbers from left to right.</u>

-5x²+9x²=4x²

\Longrightarrow: \sf{3x^3+4x^2-10x-15x-30}

<u>Solve.</u>

\sf{-10x-15x=-25x}

<u>Then rewrite the problem.</u>

\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{3x^3+4x^2-25x-30}}

  • <u>Therefore, the correct answer is 3x³+4x²-25x-30.</u>

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

The height, h, in feet of a gold ball above the ground after being hit into the air is given by the equation. H=-16t2+64t, where
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

4 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : H = -16t^{2} +64t

To Find: How many seconds does it take for the golf ball to hit the ground?

Solution :

Since we are given an equation : H = -16t^{2} +64t

Where H denotes height

t denotes the number of seconds elapsed since the ball was hit.

When he golf ball to hit the ground at that time the height becomes 0

So, put H = 0 in the equation

H = - 16t^{2} +64t

0 = - 16t^{2} +64t

16t^{2} = 64t

16t = 64

t =\frac{64}{16}

t =4

Thus it take 4 seconds for the golf ball to hit the ground
