Suppose that the speeds of cars travelling on California freeways are normally distributed with a mean of miles/hour. The highwa
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

the standard deviation of the speeds of cars travelling on California freeways is 6.0 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the standard deviation of the speeds of cars is shown below;

The z score for the top 1% is 2.326

So,

= (75 - 61) ÷ standard deviation = 2.326

Standard deviation is

= 14 ÷ 2.326

= 6.0 miles per hour

Hence, the standard deviation of the speeds of cars travelling on California freeways is 6.0 miles per hour

I need to find the surface area for this one pls help me
Alex

Step-by-step explanation:

so, you got the volume but don't know how to find the surface area ? that is strange for me. what's the problem ?

the surface of a cube or rectangular prism consists of 6 sides that split (for a rectangular prism) into 3 pairs of equal sides :

top and bottom

left and right

front and back

all we need to do is calculate the areas of these 6 rectangles and add them up. that's it.

in our case

top and bottom : 5×4 × 2 = 20×2 = 40 in²

left and right : 4×4 × 2 = 16×2 = 32 in²

front and back : 5×4 × 2 = 40 in²

so, in total, the whole surface area of the prism is

40 + 32 + 40 = 112 in²
