A physical fitness association is including the mile run in its secondary school fitness test. The time for this event for boys

in secondary school is known to possess a normal distribution with a mean of 440 seconds and a standard deviation of 40 seconds. Find the probability that a randomly selected boy in secondary school can run the mile in less than 348 seconds.A) 0.0107 B) 0.9893 C) 0.5107 D) 0.4893

Answer:

A) 0.0107

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 440 seconds and a standard deviation of 40 seconds.

This means that \mu = 440, \sigma = 40

Find the probability that a randomly selected boy in secondary school can run the mile in less than 348 seconds.

This is the p-value of Z when X = 348. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{348 - 440}{40}

Z = -2.3

Z = -2.3 has a p-value of 0.0107, and thus, the correct answer is given by option A.

For x > 2, you would circle the 2, but you would not shade it in because it is greater than/ less than, not greater than or equal to/less than or equal to. From there on, you would move it to the right, because here x is greater than 2, and the numbers to the right of 2 are greater than two.

For x < 2, you would again circle the 2, but don't shade it in. And then you would make a line heading towards the left, because the numbers to the left of 2 are smaller than 2, and here, x is smaller than 2, since 2 is greater.

A value that is not the solution to either inequality is 2. 2 is not greater than 2, and 2 is not less than 2.

x^{2}Answer:

(Explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

The graph of y = x^{2} + 2 will be translated 2 units up from the graph of y = x^{2}.

If you plug in 0 for x, you get a y-value of 2. The 2 is also not included with the x^{2}, which is why it doesn't translate left.

This is what graph A should look like:

Part B:

The graph of y = x^{2} - 2 will be translated 2 units down from the graph of y = x^{2}.

If you plug in 0 for x, you get a y-value of -2. The 2 is also not included with the x^{2}, which is why it doesn't translate right.

This is what graph B should look like:

[Attached File]

Part C:

The graph of y = 2x^{2} is a stretched version of the graph y = x^{2}. Numbers that are greater than 1 stretch and open up and numbers less than -1 stretch and open down.

This is what graph C should look like:

[Attached File]

Part D:

The graph of y = \frac{1}{2}x^{2} is a compressed version of the graph y = x^{2}. Numbers that are in-between 0 and 1, and -1 and 0 are compressed.

This is what graph D should look like:

Please help! if abcd is dilated by a factor of 3, the coordinate of b would be
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

(-6, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of B to start with is

(-2, 2)

To dilate this by a factor of 3....

-2 * 3 = -6

2 * 3 = 6

The new coordinates of B' would be

(-6, 6)

A few things to know:

- The number 3 is called a "<u>scale factor</u>"

- Dilation means we are multiplying all the (X, Y)'s by the scale factor

- If the scale factor is <u>greater than 1</u>, the size of the shape overall increases

- If the scale factor is <u>less than 1</u>, the size of the shape overall decreases

- If the scale factor is <u>negative</u>, the shape size stays the same. The shape just rotates 180 degrees and moves to the opposite quadrant.
