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.

If XY=18, YZ=14, and XZ=20, find the radius of each circle.
Pachacha [2.7K]
Let`s assume that points M, N and P are the touching points of those 3 circles:Then:Y M + M Z = 14,Z N + N X = 20X P + P Y = 18And also: M Z = ZN, Y M = P Y and N X = X P.Now we have a system of 3 equations ( Y M, M Z and X P  are the radii of each circle ):Y M + M Z = 14M Z + X P = 20X P + Y M = 18 Y M - M Z = - 14+X P  + Y M = 18 X P - M Z  = 4Y M - M Z = - 14+M Z + X P = 20 X P - Y M = 6  /* ( - 1 )X P  - M Z = 4 X P + Y M = - 6  X P - M Z = 4    Y M - M Z = - 2           Y M + M Z = 14            2 Y M = 12  =>  Y M = 6M Z - 6 = 2  =>   M Z = 8X P + 6 = 18 
 X P = 12
Radii of the circles are: 12, 8 and 6.

Sam rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $16.95, and there was an additional charge of 73 cents for each mile dri
Naddik [55]

Answer:  134 miles

Step-by-step explanation:  

f(m) = 16.95 + 0.92m

140.23 = 16.95 + 0.92m

0.92m = 140.23 - 16.95

0.92m = 123.28

m = 123.28/0.92

m = 134 miles
