The number of pages in the books in a library follow a normal distribution. The mean number of pages in a book is 150 with a sta

ndard deviation of 30. if the library has 500 books, how many of the books have less than 180 pages.

As the mean is E[X] =150 and \sigma = 30, using the normal distribution to get the answer is just using Z. So, what we need is P(X<180). 

Z=  \frac{x-E[X]}{\sigma } = \frac{180-150}{30} =  \frac{30}{30} = 1

P(x<180) = P(z< 1) = \phi(1) = 0.8413. 

Then, just multiplying the amount of books you have, which is 500, with the probability would give how many books are less than 180 pages, being:
0.8413 * 500 = 420.65

Sam runs for 10 minutes The graph shows his puse, in beats per minute. 100- (beats per min) 80- 1 2 3 5 6 7 8 9 10 Time (min) By
Inessa05 [86]

The rate at which his pulse is increasing after 3 minutes is 9.5 beats per minute

<h3>How to determine the beat rate after 3 minutes?</h3>

The given graph shows the curve and the tangent.

From tangent line, we have the following points:

(x,y) = (3,119) and (1,100)

The beat rate (m) at this point is:

m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}

So, we have:

m = \frac{100 - 119}{1 - 3}

Evaluate the differences

m = \frac{-19}{-2}

Evaluate the quotient

m = 9.5

Hence, the rate at which Sam's pulse is increasing after 3 minutes is 9.5 beats per minute

Find the common ratio for the geometric sequence defined by the formula: an=40(2‾√)n−1 a n = 40 ( 2 ) n − 1
WITCHER [35]

The ratio of the geometric sequence 402^{n-1} is 2.

Given that geometric sequence is 40*2^{n-1} and we have to find the common ratio of all the terms.

Geometric sequence is a sequence in which all the terms have a common ratio.

Nth termof a GP is ar^{n-1} in which a is first term and r is common ratio.

Geometric sequence=40*2^{n-1}

We have to first find the first term, second term and third term of a geometric progression.

First term=40*2^{1-1}

=40*2^{0}

=40*1

=40

Second term=40*2^{2-1}

=40*2^{1}

=40*2

=80

Third term=40*2^{3-1}

=40*2^{2}

=40*4

=160

Ratio of first two terms=80/40=2

Ratio of next two terms=160/80=2

Hence the common ratio of geometric sequence is 2.
