Answer:

75= 119 -1.96 \sigma

\sigma = \frac{75-119}{-1.96}= 22.45

And tha's equivalent to use this formula:

163= 119 +1.96 \sigma

\sigma = \frac{163-119}{1.96}= 22.45

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case the 95%of the values are between the following two values:

(75 , 163)

And for this case we know that the variable of interest X "length of a movie" follows a normal distribution:

X \sim N( \mu, \sigma)

We can estimate the true mean with the following formula:

\mu = \frac{75+163}{2}= 119

Now we know that in the normal standard distribution we know that we have 95% of the values between 1.96 deviations from the mean. We can find the value of the deviation with this formula:

75= 119 -1.96 \sigma

\sigma = \frac{75-119}{-1.96}= 22.45

And tha's equivalent to use this formula:

163= 119 +1.96 \sigma

\sigma = \frac{163-119}{1.96}= 22.45

A model car is 5 inches long. The actual length of the car is 15 feet . What is the scale factor of the model car?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

1 : 36

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the scale factor, the dimensions must be in the same units.

Using the conversion

1 foot = 12 inches, then

15 feet = 15 × 12 = 180 inches, thus

scale factor = 5 : 180 ← divide both parts by 5

scale factor = 1 : 36
