Answer:

$\frac{46}{5}$ miles [or, 9.2 miles]

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question:

Christine runs 10 miles in 75 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she ru n in 69 minutes?

Solution:

We need to find the unit rate first and then find our answer. To get unit rate, we need to know the number of miles she runs in "1 minute". So, we will divide number of miles by number of minutes, that is given. Hence:

$\frac{10}{75}=\frac{2}{15}$

That means in 1 minute, Christine runs 2/15th of a mile.

Now, we want to know how many miles she will run in 69 minutes. We simply multiply unit rate (2/15) by the number of minutes (which is 69). Thus we have:

$\frac{2}{15}*69=\frac{2*23}{5}=\frac{46}{5}$

In decimal, doing division, that is 9.2 miles

Answer:

The Normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with possible values all the reals. Some properties of this distribution are:

Is symmetrical and bell shaped no matter the parameters used. Usually if X is a random variable normally distributed we write this like that:

$X \sim N(\mu , \sigma)$

The two parameters are:

$\mu$ who represent the mean and is on the center of the distribution

$\sigma$ who represent the standard deviation

One particular case is the normal standard distribution denoted by:

$Z \sim N(0,1)$

Example: Usually this distribution is used to model almost all the practical things in the life one of the examples is when we can model the scores of a test. Usually the distribution for this variable is normally distributed and we can find quantiles and probabilities associated
