Amy was looking at a table of conversion from meters to kilometers the table shows that two common meters are equivalent to 2000

Answer:
-2, 8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
You can consider the area to be that of a trapezoid with parallel bases f(a) and f(4), and width (4-a). The area of that trapezoid is ...
A = (1/2)(f(a) +f(4))(4 -a)
= (1/2)((3a -1) +(3·4 -1))(4 -a)
= (1/2)(3a +10)(4 -a)
We want this area to be 12, so we can substitute that value for A and solve for "a".
12 = (1/2)(3a +10)(4 -a)
24 = (3a +10)(4 -a) = -3a² +2a +40
3a² -2a -16 = 0 . . . . . . subtract the right side
(3a -8)(a +2) = 0 . . . . . factor
Values of "a" that make these factors zero are ...
a = 8/3, a = -2
The values of "a" that make the area under the curve equal to 12 are -2 and 8/3.

<em>Alternate solution</em>
The attachment shows a solution using the numerical integration function of a graphing calculator. The area under the curve of function f(x) on the interval [a, 4] is the integral of f(x) on that interval. Perhaps confusingly, we have called that area f(a). As we have seen above, the area is a quadratic function of "a". I find it convenient to use a calculator's functions to solve problems like this where possible.
Given Information:
Mean time to finish 400 meter dash = μ = 65 seconds
Standard deviation to finish 400 meter dash = σ = 2.5 seconds
Confidence level = 95%
Required Information:
95% confidence interval = ?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In the normal distribution, the empirical rule states approximately 68% of all the data lie within 1 standard deviation from the mean, approximately 95% of all the data lie within 2 standard deviations from the mean and approximately 99.7% of all the data lie within 3 standard deviations from the mean.
The confidence interval for 95% confidence limit is given by
Since approximately 95% of all the data lie within 2 standard deviations from the mean. μ is the mean time Carson takes to finish 400 meter dash and σ is the standard deviation.
Therefore, the 95% confidence interval is between 60 to 70 seconds
What does it mean?
It means that we are 95% confident that the Carson's mean to finish 400 meter dash is within the interval of (60, 70).
