You're going to have to work out the z-scores of both values in each option and see if it makes sense.

n = m + sz

The mean is 20 and the standard deviation is 3.

So let's find try the z-scores of the outer range values and determine their probabilities:

from 14-20:

n = m + sz
20 = 20 + 3z and 14 = 20 + 3z
0 = 3z and -6 = 3z
z = 0 and z = -2

So now using a z-score table, such as the one below, find the probabilities.

z = 0 is easy, it's 0.5
z = -2 is 0.02275

Subtract the smaller from the larger to get the probability of getting in the range:

0.5 - 0.02275 = 0.47725 (so times 1000, you get 477.25, which is not about 340, so this option is wrong)
---
Now trying option 2, from 17-29:

n = m + sz
29 = 20 + 3z and 17 = 20 + 3z
9 = 3z and -3 = 3z
z = 3 and z = -1

0.99865 - 0.158655 = 0.839995 (not 680, so not the answer)
---
Now trying option 3, from 20-23:

n = m + sz
23 = 20 + 3z and 20 = 20 + 3z
3 = 3z and 0 = 3z
z = 1 and z = 0

0.841345 - 0.5 = 0.341345 (close to 340, so is your answer)

A statistics professor plans classes so carefully that the lengths of her classes are uniformly distributed between 46.046.0 and
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The probability of selecting a class that runs between 50.2550.25 and 51.2551.25 minutes is 0.10

Step-by-step explanation:

The Uniform Distribution, also known as Rectangular Distribution, is a type of Continuous Probability Distribution. It has a continuous random variable restricted to a finite interval and its probability function has a constant density during this interval.

The formula of probability if given by:

f(x)=

\left \{ {{\frac{1}{b-a}; \ a \leq x \leq b  } \atop {0}; \ x \ otherwise } \right.

In this exercise a= 46.0 and b= 56.0

The probability of selecting a class that runs between 50.2550.25 and 51.2551.25 minutes is:

\int\limits^{51.25}_{50.25} {\frac{1}{56-46} } \, dx = \int\limits^{51.25}_{50.25} {\frac{1}{10} } \, dx = \frac{1}{10} \times (51.25 - 50.25)=\frac{1}{10}=0.1

This box can be packed with 48 units cubes. The edge length of each unit cube is 1 meter. What is the volume of the box?
Dafna1 [17]

48 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube has equal length width and height

A cube in this case has length 1m meaning the width and height are also 1 m each in length.

The volume of the cube is (L * W * H) =  1 * 1 * 1 = 1 m³

If 48 of these can fit in the bigger box, then the bigger box has the volume of;

48 * 1 m³ = 48 m³
