Latoya is on her way home in her car. She has driven 15 miles so far, which is three-fourths of the way home. What is the total

length of her drive?

Answer:

since she is 3/4 the way home she has to go 20 miles cause 15/20 is equal to 3/4

We have four two cards in 52 cards and four ten cards in the same playing cards
to get our first four cards we choose one from the whole set of 52 cards
but to get the next card with ten we choose them out of 51 because we took the first card with value two and we have not replaced it
this gives us

What is the answer??????

Answer:

38 5/28

Step-by-step explanation:

Well start with the whole numbers 24 and 13 This is adding so that means everything has to be added together. 13+24=37 Now, lets go the fractions.

Find the LCD (Least Common Denominator) of 3/4 and 3/7 and rewrite to solve with the equivalent fractions. (remember the Denominator is the BOTTOM PART of the Fraction. Such as the 4 in 3/4.)

LCD = 28

21/28 + 12/28 = 33/28 which can be simplified to 1 5/28. Combining the whole and fraction parts 37 + 1 + 5/28 = 38 5/28 And that will be your answer. Another way you can do this is

converting mixed numbers to fractions Meaning put them in improper form where the numerator (the top number of a fraction is bigger than the denominator such as 4/3) , our initial equation becomes, 99/4 + 94/7

Applying the fractions formula for addition,

(99×7) + (94×4) / 4×7

= 693+376 / 28 =

= 1069/ 28

Simplifying 1069/28, the answer is

= 38 5/28

And one more thing. An easier way to make a mixed number a improper fraction is the multiply the denominator by the whole number then add the numerator and whatever the denominator is it stays for example

38 5/28.

28 times 38 = 1064 then add the 5 and you get 1069! But we aren't done yet, the denominator was 28 so that means the full answer is 1069/28 and that is the Improper fraction form!

Hope this helps! (sorry I took so long)

Many, many snails have a one-mile race, and the time it takes for them to finish is approximately normally distributed with mean

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

a) The percentage of snails that take more than 60 hours to finish is 4.75%.

b) The relative frequency of snails that take less than 60 hours to finish is 95.25%.

c) The proportion of snails that take between 60 and 67 hours to finish is 4.52%.

d) 0% probability that a randomly-chosen snail will take more than 76 hours to finish

e) To be among the 10% fastest snails, a snail must finish in at most 42.32 hours.

f) The most typical 80% of snails take between 42.32 and 57.68 hours to finish.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 50, \sigma = 6$

a. The percentage of snails that take more than 60 hours to finish is

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 60.

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

$Z = \frac{60 - 50}{6}$

$Z = 1.67$

$Z = 1.67$ has a pvalue 0.9525

1 - 0.9525 = 0.0475

The percentage of snails that take more than 60 hours to finish is 4.75%.

b. The relative frequency of snails that take less than 60 hours to finish is

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 60.

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

$Z = \frac{60 - 50}{6}$

$Z = 1.67$

$Z = 1.67$ has a pvalue 0.9525

The relative frequency of snails that take less than 60 hours to finish is 95.25%.

c. The proportion of snails that take between 60 and 67 hours to finish is

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 67 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 60.

X = 67

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

$Z = \frac{67 - 50}{6}$

$Z = 2.83$

$Z = 2.83$ has a pvalue 0.9977

X = 60

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

$Z = \frac{60 - 50}{6}$

$Z = 1.67$

$Z = 1.67$ has a pvalue 0.9525

0.9977 - 0.9525 = 0.0452

The proportion of snails that take between 60 and 67 hours to finish is 4.52%.

d. The probability that a randomly-chosen snail will take more than 76 hours to finish (to four decimal places)

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 76.

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

$Z = \frac{76 - 50}{6}$

$Z = 4.33$

$Z = 4.33$ has a pvalue of 1

1 - 1 = 0

0% probability that a randomly-chosen snail will take more than 76 hours to finish

e. To be among the 10% fastest snails, a snail must finish in at most hours.

At most the 10th percentile, which is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.1. So it is X when Z = -1.28.

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

$-1.28 = \frac{X - 50}{6}$

$X - 50 = -1.28*6$

$X = 42.32$

To be among the 10% fastest snails, a snail must finish in at most 42.32 hours.

f. The most typical 80% of snails take between and hours to finish.

From the 50 - 80/2 = 10th percentile to the 50 + 80/2 = 90th percentile.

10th percentile

value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.1. So X when Z = -1.28.

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

$-1.28 = \frac{X - 50}{6}$

$X - 50 = -1.28*6$

$X = 42.32$

90th percentile.

value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.9. So X when Z = 1.28

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

$1.28 = \frac{X - 50}{6}$

$X - 50 = 1.28*6$

$X = 57.68$

The most typical 80% of snails take between 42.32 and 57.68 hours to finish.
