Answer:

c. 3.6 and 10.4 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean 7, standard deviation 1.7.

For about 95% of students, nightly amount of sleep is between

7 - 2*1.7 = 7 - 3.4 = 3.6 hours

7 + 2*1.7 = 7 + 3.4 = 10.4 hours

So the correct answer is:

c. 3.6 and 10.4 hrs

What’s the answer 6x=4x+140
dmitriy555 [2]
1) given 6x = 4x + 140

2) subtract 4x from both sides => 6x - 4x = 4x - 4x + 140

=> 2x = 140

3) divide both members by 2 => 2x / 2 = 140 / 2

=> x = 70

Rachel purchased a prepaid phone card for $30. Long distance calls cost 6 cents a minute using this card. Rachel used her card o
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: her call lasted for 26 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of minutes for which her call lasted.

Rachel purchased a prepaid phone card for $30. Long distance calls cost 6 cents a minute using this card. Converting 6 cents to dollars, it becomes 6/100 = $0.06

This means that the cost of x minutes of long distance call is

0.06 × x = $0.06x.

If the remaining credit on her card is $28.44, it means that

0.06x + 28.44 = 30

0.06x = 30 - 28.44

0.06x = 1.56

x = 1.56/0.06

x = 26

A picture frame is shaped like a rectangle whose perimeter is 196 cm. The length is 6 times long as the width
lbvjy [14]
L=length W=width
perimeter=2Lx2W
196=2L+2W

Length can be written as 6W because it is 6 times the width. We then substitute this in so all the terms are the same

196=2(6W)+2W
196=12W+2W
196=14W
W=14cm
L= (14x6) 84cm
