Complete question :

The 100m dah times in the girl's track meet were normally distributed with a mean of 13 seconds and a standard deviation of 0.3 seconds.

Lana finished the race in 13.2 seconds . If 84 other girls ran in the event, approximately how many runners did she beat?

Answer:

21 runners

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean, μ = 13 seconds

Standard deviation, σ = 0.3

Lana's race time = 13.2

We find the proportion of runners who had race time above 13.2 ;

Proportion of who had race tune above 13.2

P(x > 13.2)

Obtain the Zscore

Zscore = (x - μ) / σ

Z = (13.2 - 13) / 0.3

Zscore = 0.2 / 0.3 = 0.6667

P(Z > 0.6667) = 0.25239 (Z probability calculator)

This is about 0.25239 * 100 = 25.24% = 25% (nearest percent)

Hence, Number of runners Lana beat = 25% of total runners ;

0.25 * 84 = 21

Hence, Lana beat about 21 runners

A garden table and a bench cost $589 combined. The garden table costs $61 less than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?

Paul [167]

Answer:

The bench costs $350

Step-by-step explanation:

et the cost of the bench = x

the cost of the garden table = x + 94

x + (x + 94) = 794

2x + 94 = 794

2x = 700

x = 350

The bench costs $350 and the garden table costs 350 + 94 = $444

3 2/3 hours. Because if you do 2 3/4 times 1 1/3 you get 11/3 which simplifies into a mixed fraction of 3 2/3.

maria [59]

Answer:

$\text{the weighted average of a, m, and b, with m weighted 4 times as heavily as a and b.}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The expected activity time in PERT analysis is calculated as:}$

$\mathbf{\dfrac{a+4m + b}{6}}$

$where;$

$\text{a = optimistic duration; }$

$\text{m = most likely duration and;}$

$\text{ b = pessimistic duration from the above formula.}$

Which of the following represents

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The correct option is (c).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given number is -0.904.

We need to represent the number in scientific notation.

Any number can be written in scientific notation as follows :

$a\times 10^b$

Where

a is a real number and b is an integer

We can write it as follows :

$-0.904=-9.04\times 10^{-1}$

Hence, the correct option is (c).
