<u>Answer:</u>

The probability of a randomly selected student scoring in between 77.6 and 88.4 is 0.8185.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Scores on a test are normally distributed with a mean of 81.2  

And a standard deviation of 3.6.  

We have to find What is the probability of a randomly selected student scoring between 77.6 and 88.4?

For that we are going to subtract probability of getting more than 88.4 from probability of getting more than 77.6  

Now probability of getting more than 88.4 = 1 - area of z – score of 88.4

\mathrm{Now}, \mathrm{z}-\mathrm{score}=\frac{88.4-\mathrm{mean}}{\text {standard deviation}}=\frac{88.4-81.2}{3.6}=\frac{7.2}{3.6}=2

So, probability of getting more than 88.4 = 1 – area of z- score(2)

= 1 – 0.9772 [using z table values]

= 0.0228.

Now probability of getting more than 77.6 = 1 - area of z – score of 77.6

\mathrm{Now}, \mathrm{z}-\text { score }=\frac{77.6-\text { mean }}{\text { standard deviation }}=\frac{77.6-81.2}{3.6}=\frac{-3.6}{3.6}=-1

So, probability of getting more than 77.6 = 1 – area of z- score(-1)

= 1 – 0.1587 [Using z table values]

= 0.8413

Now, probability of getting in between 77.6 and 88.4 = 0.8413 – 0.0228 = 0.8185

Hence, the probability of a randomly selected student getting in between 77.6 and 88.4 is 0.8185.

In the equation 3x+ 2 = 11 which number is the constant?
grigory [225]

Answer:

The constant is 2 and 11

Step-by-step explanation:

A constant is a number that always has the same value. In this equation 2 and 11 are the constants because they stay the same. 3x doesn't stay the same because 3 is multiplying x.

Hope This Helps :)

Ted practices two types of swimming styles for a total of 50 minutes every day. he spends 20 minutes more practicing the breast
cluponka [151]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

butterfly = x minutes

breast = y minutes

total is 50 minutes

breast stroke = butterfly +20

Part A

x+y = 50

y = x+20

Part B

Substitute the second equation into the first

x+ (x+20) = 50

2x+20 = 50

2x+20-20 = 50-20

2x = 30

2x/2 = 30/2

x = 15

y = x+20

y = 20+15

y = 35 minutes

35 minutes on the breast stroke

Part C

45 minutes on the butterfly is not reasonable

We only have a total of 50 minutes

50-45 = 5

But he spend more time on the breast stroke ( 20 minutes more), but if he spend 45 minutes on the butterfly, he would have to spend less on the breast stroke.
