Answer:

a) 279 b)254

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = 269 days

standard deviation = 8 days

let n be the pregnancy lenght.  

using normal distribution formula

z = (n – mean)/ standard deviation

n = z * standard deviation + mean

Now, z values for the top 12% has to be found using a z table.

The top 12% means 88% of area under the curve. In this case z = 1,176

n = 1,176 * 8 + 269

n = 278.4 = 279

The bottom 3% means 97% of area under the curve. In this case z = -1,882

n = -1,882 * 8 + 269

n = 253.94 = 254

<h3>What is ratio and proportion?</h3>

When comparing two quantities of the same kind, ratio is utilized.

For two numbers, a and b, the ratio formula is written as a: b or a/b.

Two or more ratios are said to be in proportion if they are all equal.

Fractions are the foundation of the concepts of ratio and proportion.

Let x is the number of hours the first mechanic worked and y is the number of hours the second mechanic worked.

∵x+y = 20

x = 20 - y

115x+100y = 2225

115(20-y) + 100y = 2225

2300 - 115y +100y = 2225

15y = 75

y = 5 hours

∴ x = 20-5

x = 15 hours

Answer:

32 yards (squared)

Step-by-step explanation:

Length x width = area (LxW=A)

Step 1:

Length = 6 yards

Width = 5 1/3 yards

Step 2:

Multiply 6 x 5 1/3 because 6 is the length, 5 1/3 is the width, and LxW=A.

6 x 5 1/3 = 32 yards (squared)

Which is the largest interval over which the function shown in the table is increasing?
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

x < 0

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to graph the function, you would get a parabola that opens down with the vertex at (0, 0).  So, the graph is increasing from -∞ to 0.
