The number of potholes in any given 1-mile stretch of freeway pavement in Pennsylvania has a Normal distribution. This distribut

ion has a mean of 49 and a standard deviation of 9. Using the Empirical Rule, what is the approximate percentage of 1-mile long roadways with potholes numbering between 22 and 58?

Answer:

83.85% of 1-mile long roadways with potholes numbering between 22 and 58

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 49

Standard deviation = 9

Using the Empirical Rule, what is the approximate percentage of 1-mile long roadways with potholes numbering between 22 and 58?

22 = 49 - 3*9

So 22 is three standard deviations below the mean.

Since the normal distribution is symmetric, 50% of the measures are below the mean and 50% are above the mean.

Of those 50% which are below the mean, 99.7% of those are within 3 standard deviations of the mean, that is, greater than 22.

58 = 49 + 9

So 58 is one standard deviation of the mean.

Of those which are above the mean, 68% are within 1 standard deviation of the mean, that is, lesser than 58.

Then

0.997*0.5 + 0.68*0.5 = 0.8385 = 83.85%

83.85% of 1-mile long roadways with potholes numbering between 22 and 58

Which of the following is the equation of a line perpendicular to the line 7= –3/2 x + 4
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Option c is correct !!

Step-by-step explanation:

[ Refer to the attachment ]

As y = mx + c is an equation to represent the straight line ; we equate the given line with this equation !!

Where m is slope of the line

and c is y intercept !!

We get , m = -3/2 and c = 4

Also, two perpendicular lines follows the equation :-

(m1)(m2) =  - 1

Where m nth is slope of nth line !!

A student timed his drive to work each day for three days. The times are shown below:
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean, or average of a data set can be found by adding all the values together, and dividing by the number of values.

The data set is: 20 minutes, 22 minutes and 18 minutes

1. Add the values together

Add all the numbers in the set together.

Data set: 20, 22, 18

Add them: 20+22+18

60

2. Divide by the number of values

Count how many numbers are in the set.

In this set, there are 3 numbers.

Divide 60 by 3

60/3 =20

20 minutes

His mean time is 20 minutes.

a. Suppose a BMW dealer in Fullerton, CA is trying to calculate the probability of his car sale for next week. The dealer knows
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

0.45576

Step-by-step explanation:

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

Standard Deviation = √variance

Mean = 50

= √9

= 3

z = 51 - 50/3

= 0.11111

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<51) = 0.54424

P(x>51) = 1 - P(x<51)

= 1 - 0.54424

= 0.45576

The probability that the dealer will sell 51 or more cars is 0.45576

todd Has a collection of 8cds and sally has a collection of 18 cds Todd is adding 9cds a month to his collection while sally is
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create some equations first.

Say M = number of months, T = Todd and S = Sally.

We know that Todd starts with 8 cds and sally starts with 18 cds.

This means when M= 0,  T = 8 and S = 18

After one month (M = 1), Todd adds 9 cds.

This means can write the following equation:

T = 8 + 9M

So after the first month (where M = 1), we can find out that Todd has

T = 8 + 9 x 1 = 8 + 9 = 17 cds

For Sally, we know she adds 7 cds per month.

S = 18 + 7M

After one month (M = 1),

S = 18 + 7 x 1 = 25 cds.

Now we are trying to find when they will have the same number of cds and how many.

This means we are trying to figure out what M = ? when Todd and Sally are equal.

So we want to find when T = S

Remember, earlier we wrote :

T = 8 + 9M

S = 18 + 7M

If T = S, this means:

8 + 9M = 18 + 7M

Gather the like terms and solve for M.

Subtract 8 from both sides.

9M = 10 + 7M

Subtract 7M from both sides

2M = 10

Divide both sides by 2

M = 5.

So in 5 months, we are saying T = S (Todd and Sally will have the same number of cds).

Put M = 5 back into our earlier equations to find out how many cds they have after 5 months.

T = 8 + 9M

T = 8 + 9 x 5

T = 53

Therefore, after 5 months Todd and Sally will have 53 cds each :)
