For an activity in class, students used pieces of string to measure roads on a map. They used a map scale to determine the dista

nce between two cities. One group measured the distance between Fort Myers and Miami on a Florida state map. The string distance was 7.75 inches, which represents a real-life distance of about 155 miles. Another group measured the distance between Tampa and Orlando on the same map and found that distance to be 4.25 inches. What is the real-life distance to the nearest mile between Tampa and Orlando?
a85 miles
b44 miles
c152 miles
d282 miles

Miracle sells 28 dozens of donuts on Wednesday. Each dozen cost $18. How much is one

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

$1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

if each dozen cost $18, we need to divide.......18/12........because 12 is a dozen.

18/12 = 1.5

What is the volume of a hemisphere with a radius of 3.6cm, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic cm?

drek231 [11]

Answer:

$97.7161 {cm}^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Input Data :</h3>

Length = 3.6 cm

<h3>Objective :</h3>

Find the volume of Hemisphere.

<h3>Formula :</h3>

Volume =

$\frac{ 2\pi {r}^{3} }{3}$

<h3>Solutions</h3>

volume =

<h3> $\frac{2 \times 3.1416 \times 3.6 ^{3} }{3}$ </h3>

$\frac{2 \times 3.1416 \times 46.656}{3}$

$\frac{293.1483}{3}$

$volume = 97.7161 {cm}^{3}$

According to a study conducted in one city, 39% of adults in the city have credit card debts of more than $2000. A simple random

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The sampling distribution of the sample proportion of adults who have credit card debts of more than $2000 is approximately normally distributed with mean $\mu = 0.39$ and standard deviation $s = 0.0488$

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

In this question:

$p = 0.39, n = 100$

Then

$s = \sqrt{\frac{0.39*0.61}{100}} = 0.0488$

By the Central Limit Theorem:

The sampling distribution of the sample proportion of adults who have credit card debts of more than $2000 is approximately normally distributed with mean $\mu = 0.39$ and standard deviation $s = 0.0488$

The ages of students in a school are normally distributed with a mean of 15 years and a standard deviation of 2 years. Approxima

worty [1.4K]

We have been given that the ages of students in a school are normally distributed with a mean of 15 years and a standard deviation of 2 years.

We are asked to find the percentage of students that are between 14 and 18 years old.

First of all, we will find z-score corresponding to 14 and 18 using z-score formula.

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

$z=\frac{14-15}{2}$

$z=\frac{-1}{2}$

$z=-0.5$

Similarly, we will find the z-score corresponding to 18.

$z=\frac{18-15}{2}$

$z=\frac{3}{2}$

$z=1.5$

Now we will find the probability of getting a z-score between $-0.5$ and $1.5$ that is $P(-0.5$ .

$P(-0.5$

Using normal distribution table, we will get:

$P(-0.5$

$P(-0.5$

Let us convert $0.62465$ into percentage.

$0.62465\times 100\%=62.465\%\approx 62.5\%$

Therefore, approximately $62.5\%$ of the students are between 14 and 18 years old.
