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!

Point A is located at (3,-6) and point A is located at (1-2). What is the scale factor?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The scale factor is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the origin O(0,0) is the reference point and the coordinates of the point A are given by (3,-6).

Therefore, the distance OA is given by \sqrt{(3 - 0)^{2} + (- 6 - 0)^{2}} = 3\sqrt{5} units.

Again, the coordinates of point A' are (1,-2).

Therefore, the distance OA' is given by \sqrt{(1 - 0)^{2} + (- 2 - 0)^{2}} = \sqrt{5} units.

Hence, the scale factor is \frac{OA}{OA'} = \frac{3\sqrt{5} }{\sqrt{5}} = 3. (Answer)

At a deli, 56 sandwiches were sold during lunchtime. Twenty-five percent of the sandwiches sold were tuna salad sandwiches. How
denpristay [2]
Answer - 42 Sandwiches

Explanation -
56 is what you start out with. you will need to find 25% of those 56 to see the remaining. So 25% of 56 is 14 because .25 x 56 is 14. You then subtract 56 from the 14 Tuna sandwiches and you’re left with 42.
