Note that 60=70-10\times1, i.e. a student that completes the exam in one hour falls exactly one standard deviation (in the negative direction) from the mean.

Now, you're looking for the proportion of students that fall below this, i.e. \mathbb P(Z. The empirical rule states that approximately 68% of a normal distribution falls within one standard deviation of the mean. That is,

\mathbb P(|Z|

This means that the proportion of students that fall outside this range is

\mathbb P(|Z|>1)=\mathbb P(Z1)=1-\mathbb P(|Z|

Because the distribution is symmetric, it follows that

\mathbb P(Z1)=\dfrac{0.32}2=0.16

This means the percentage of students that complete the exam in under an hour is 16%.

If u(x)=-2x^2+3 and v(x)=1/x what is the range of (u*v)(x) **the picture should help
nasty-shy [4]
We have that
u(x)=-2 x^{2} +3 \\ \\ v(x)= \frac{1}{x}
u(v(x))=u( \frac{1}{x})=-2( \frac{1}{x} )^{2}  +3 \\ u( \frac{1}{x})= \frac{(3 x^{2} -2)}{ x^{2} }

using a graph tool
see the attached figure

The horizontal asymptote of this function is at <span>y=3</span><span>.
So,
the range of this function is from </span><span>(−∞,3<span>)</span></span>

Find the length of the hypotenuse if the base and height of a triangle are 6 m and 8 m , respectively
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem.

base² + height² = hypotenuse²

6² + 8² = hypotenuse²

100 = hypotenuse²

hypotenuse = √100 = 10 meters
