Answer:

At least 75% of these commuting times are between 30 and 110 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Chebyshev Theorem

The Chebyshev Theorem can also be applied to non-normal distribution. It states that:

At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

An in general terms, the percentage of measures within k standard deviations of the mean is given by 100(1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}}).

In this question:

Mean of 70 minutes, standard deviation of 20 minutes.

Since nothing is known about the distribution, we use Chebyshev's Theorem.

What percentage of these commuting times are between 30 and 110 minutes

30 = 70 - 2*20

110 = 70 + 2*20

THis means that 30 and 110 minutes is within 2 standard deviations of the mean, which means that at least 75% of these commuting times are between 30 and 110 minutes

You and three friends are eating a pizza with 12 pieces. Each person eats the same number of pieces. Let x represent the number
Setler [38]

Answer:

C. 4x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

You and three friends= you + 3 friends=4 people

Pizza= 12 pieces

Each person eats equal pieces of pizza

x= number of pieces each person ate

Equation

4x=12

Divide both sides by 4

x=12/4

=3

x=3

Therefore, each person ate 3 pieces of pizza each

Check:

4x=12

4(3)=12

12=12

Answer:

D. It would be less steep

Step-by-step explanation:

The first graph moves at a rate of 5/1 which is a greater fraction than 3/4

  • The second graph is shallow due to the close points in x and y that are able to be conducted
  • The first Graph rapidly increases at a way higher rate making it VERY steep
  • While both are linear the second strays away in terms of plot lines
