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

A plank of wood is 220 cm long.I cut it in 14cm pieces. what lenght of wood i will have left over?
Nana76 [90]

The required Length is 10cm.

What is length?

  • Length is a measure of distance. In the International System of Amounts, length is a volume with dimension distance. In utmost systems of dimension a base unit for length is chosen, from which all other units are deduced.
  • Length is generally understood to mean the most extended dimension of a fixed object. still, this isn't always the case and may depend on the position the object is in.
  • Varied terms for the length of a fixed object are used, and these include height, which is the perpendicular length or perpendicular extent, and range, breadth, or depth. Height is used when there's a base from which perpendicular measures can be taken. range or breadth generally relates to a shorter dimension when the length is the longest one.

220 / 14 gives us 15.

You have to understand that this means 15 whole 14 cm pieces and a Length of 1 piece.

thus 14 * 15 = 210

So 220- 210 = 10

where you know 220- 210 is< 15

Hence, The correct Length is 10cm.

Please prove this........​
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:  see proof below

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given: A + B + C = π    →     C = π - (A + B)

                                    → sin C = sin(π - (A + B))       cos C = sin(π - (A + B))

                                    → sin C = sin (A + B)              cos C = - cos(A + B)

Use the following Sum to Product Identity:

sin A + sin B = 2 cos[(A + B)/2] · sin [(A - B)/2]

cos A + cos B = 2 cos[(A + B)/2] · cos [(A - B)/2]

Use the following Double Angle Identity:

sin 2A = 2 sin A · cos A

<u>Proof LHS → RHS</u>

LHS:                        (sin 2A + sin 2B) + sin 2C

\text{Sum to Product:}\qquad 2\sin\bigg(\dfrac{2A+2B}{2}\bigg)\cdot \cos \bigg(\dfrac{2A - 2B}{2}\bigg)-\sin 2C

\text{Double Angle:}\qquad 2\sin\bigg(\dfrac{2A+2B}{2}\bigg)\cdot \cos \bigg(\dfrac{2A - 2B}{2}\bigg)-2\sin C\cdot \cos C

\text{Simplify:}\qquad \qquad 2\sin (A + B)\cdot \cos (A - B)-2\sin C\cdot \cos C

\text{Given:}\qquad \qquad \quad 2\sin C\cdot \cos (A - B)+2\sin C\cdot \cos (A+B)

\text{Factor:}\qquad \qquad \qquad 2\sin C\cdot [\cos (A-B)+\cos (A+B)]

\text{Sum to Product:}\qquad 2\sin C\cdot 2\cos A\cdot \cos B

\text{Simplify:}\qquad \qquad 4\cos A\cdot \cos B \cdot \sin C

LHS = RHS: 4 cos A · cos B · sin C = 4 cos A · cos B · sin C    \checkmark

If 0.5% of a number is 250, find the number
kaheart [24]

0.5% or 1/2% of say "x" is 250, whilst "x" is the 100%.

\begin{array}{ccll} \%&amount\\ \cline{1-2} \frac{1}{2}&250\\[1em] 100&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{~~ \frac{1}{2}~~}{100}=\cfrac{250}{x}\implies \cfrac{1}{200}=\cfrac{250}{x}\implies x = 50000
