Answer:

First set = 60 minutes

Second set = 66 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of third set = 71.28 minutes ;

Third set was 8% longer than second set ;

Length of second set = x

Third set = (100% + 8%) = 108% of second set

71.28 = 1.08 * x

71.28 = 1.08x

x = 71.28 / 1.08

x = 66

Hence, second set = 66 minutes

Second set was 10% longer than the first

(100 + 10)% of first set = second set

110% of first set = second set

Let first set = y

1.1 * y = 66

1.1y = 66

y = 66 / 1.1

y = 60

Hence, first set = 60 minutes

First set = 60 minutes

Second set = 66 minutes

Nancy was trying to save up $457. At her job she made $8 an hour and she worked 40 hours a week. After paying for her food and o

Aloiza [94]

So if she makes 8 and hour and works 40 hours a week
Thats 320 take home every week
Now divide that number by 8 as she is only taking home 1/8th and you are left with only 40 dollars saved a week.
Meaning to get to 457 it would take 11.425 weeks of work

It is possible to score higher than 1600 on the combined mathematics and reading portions of the SAT, but scores 1600 and above

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The proportion of scores reported as 1600 is 0.0032

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the score for 1 random person in SAT combining maths and reading. X has distribution approximately N(μ = 1011,σ = 216).

In order to make computations, we standarize X to obtain a random variable W with distribution approximately N(0,1)

$W = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} = \frac{X-1011}{216} \simeq N(0,1)$

The values of the cummulative distribution function of the standard Normal random variable, lets denote it $\phi$ are tabulated, you can find those values in the attached file. Now, we are ready to compute the probability of X being bigger than 1600
