Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

people in building ---- x

children --- y

men + women + children = x

(3/7)x + (5/8)(4/7)x + y = x

3x/7 + 5x/14 + y = x

times 14

6x + 5x + 14y = 14x

14y = 3x

y + 220 =x

sub into the other one

14y = 3(y+220)

11y = 660

y = 60

then 14(60) = 3x ---> x = 280

So we have 280 people in the building.

check: 3/7 of 280 are men = 120

leaving 160 women and children

5/8 of these ot 100 are women

so we have 120 men, 100 women and 60 children!

1) On a standardized aptitude test, scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 10. Find the
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

A) 34.13%

B)  15.87%

C) 95.44%

D) 97.72%

E) 49.87%

F) 0.13%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent of scores that are between 90 and 100, we need to standardize 90 and 100 using the following equation:

z=\frac{x-m}{s}

Where m is the mean and s is the standard deviation. Then, 90 and 100 are equal to:

z=\frac{90-100}{10}=-1\\ z=\frac{100-100}{10}=0

So, the percent of scores that are between 90 and 100 can be calculated using the normal standard table as:

P( 90 < x < 100) = P(-1 < z < 0) = P(z < 0) - P(z < -1)

                                                =  0.5 - 0.1587 = 0.3413

It means that the PERCENT of scores that are between 90 and 100 is 34.13%

At the same way, we can calculated the percentages of B, C, D, E and F as:

B) Over 110

P( x > 110 ) = P( z>\frac{110-100}{10})=P(z>1) = 0.1587

C) Between 80 and 120

P( 80

D) less than 80

P( x < 80 ) = P( z

E) Between 70 and 100

P( 70

F) More than 130

P( x > 130 ) = P( z>\frac{130-100}{10})=P(z>3) = 0.0013
