Answer:
The swimmer must complete the 200-meter backstroke in no more than 130 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this problem, we have that:

Fastest 6%
At most in the 6th percentile, that is, at most a value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.07. So we have to find X when Z = -1.555.

Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. We already have the slope, so our equation so far is y=3/2x+b. We just need to find the b for it to be complete.
To do this, we plug in a point on the line and solve for b. We have a point (-3,-4), so let's use it and solve.
-4=3/2(-3)+b
Undo parentheses.
-4=-9/2+b
Add 9/2 to both sides
b=1/2
Therefore, our equation is y=3/2x+1/2.
Have a wonderful day! :D
Answer: B. (-6, 8).
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Answer:</u>
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
<u>Let's find 'a' using Pythagoras theorem.</u>
- => 4² = 2² + a²
- => 16 = 4 + a²
- => 12 = a²
- => a = √12
- => a = √2 x 2 x 3
- => a = 2√3
- => a = 2 x √3
- => a = 2 x 1.732
- => a = 3.464 = 3.5 (Estimated)
Hoped this helped.
