If students’ scores were normally distributed and the mean was 200 with a standard deviation of 40, then what is the probability
, in percentages, that it is below 240?
1 answer:
Answer:
84%
Step-by-step explanation:
The empirical rule tells you that 68% of the standard normal distribution is within 1 standard deviation of the mean. The distribution is symmetrical, so the amount in the lower tail is (1 -68%)/2 = 16%.
Since the number you're interested in, 240, is one standard deviation above the mean (200 +40), the percentage of interest is the sum of the area of the central part of the distribution along with the lower tail:
68% + 16% = 84%.

Solution:
Given ABC is a right triangle.
AC is the hypotenuse and BD is the altitude.
AB and BC are legs of the triangle ABC.
AC = 16 and DC = 5
