The speed of nitrogen molecules in the atmosphere (at 20ºC) follows a normal distribution with a mean speed of 500 meters/second

and a standard deviation of 50 meters/second. Which conclusion does this information best support?
A. 84% of the molecules have speeds between 450 meters/second and 550 meters/second.

B. 68% of the molecules have speeds between 450 meters/second and 550 meters/second.

C. 50% of the molecules have speeds between 450 meters/second and 550 meters/second.

D. 34% of the molecules have speeds greater than 550 meters/second.

Answer:

B. 68% of the molecules have speeds between 450 meters/second and 550 meters/second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is a standard deviation of 50 meters per second, and the mean speed is 500 meters per second, the speeds would range between 500 - 50 meters per second and 500 + 50 meters per second, which would be a range of 450 to 550 meters per second.

If you remember the Empirical Rule (68-95-99), things that are one standard deviation from the mean are within 68% of the data. Two standard deviations would include 95% of the data. Three standard deviations would include 99% of the data. Since this question just covers one standard deviation, 68% of the molecules have speeds between 450 meters per second and 550 meters per second.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

2/3 min

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write these as equations

so 8-2.5x=5-0.5x

We isolate x by subtracting both sides by 5

3-2.5x=0.5x

add 2.5x to both sides

3=2x

divide both sides by 2

x=2/3min

Your answer would be -3/4n+3/8 because 1/4•-3/1n would be -3/4n and then 1/4•3/2 would be 3/8 so your answer would then be -3/4n+3/8.

3(9-8x-4x)+8(3x+4)=11<br> how do I work this out???
Arte-miy333 [17]
Remember PEMDAS is the order of operations. parenthesis,exponents,multiply,divide,add,subtract. so -8x-4x is -12x. now simplified the problem is 3(9-12x) + 8(3x+4)=11 . now I would distribute the numbers before the parentheses and it becomes 27-36x + 24x+32 =11 . now combine like terms. 59-12x =11 . subtract 59 on both sides. -12x=-48. divide -12 on both sides. x=4. :-)
