Answer:

At least 202.44 mm in the top 15%.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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 question, we have that:

\mu = 134, \sigma = 66

How many yearly mm of rainfall would there be in the top 15%?

At least X mm.

X is the 100-15 = 85th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.85. So X when Z = 1.037.

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

1.037 = \frac{X - 134}{66}

X - 134 = 66*1.037

X = 202.44

At least 202.44 mm in the top 15%.

Mrs. Spring left half of her estate to her son Sam. She left half of the remaining half to her cousin Fred. She left half of the
FinnZ [79.3K]

The total amount of Mrs. Spring's estate is $200,000

<h3>What is a fraction?</h3>

A fraction is written in the form of a numerator and a denominator where the denominator is greater than the numerator.

Example: 1/2, 1/3 is a fraction.

We have,

Let the total estate = 100x

Share left with Sam = 50x

Remaining share = 50x

Now,

Share left with cousin Fred = 1/2 of 50x = 25x

Remaining  share = 25x

Share left with nephew Bill = 1/2 x (25x) = 12.5x

Remaining share = 12.5x

Share left with the care of the cat Chester = 12.5x

12.5x = $25,000

Now,

12.5x = $25,000

Multiply with 100/12.5 on both sides.

100/12.5 x 12.5x = 100/12.5 x $25,000

100x = $200,000

Thus,

The total amount of Mrs. Spring's estate is $200,000

Sam drove for 2 hours at 45 mph. He has the same distance remaining. How fast should he drive to make his average speed 60 mph?
Goshia [24]
Speed (S) = Distance (D) / time (t)

First stretch

45 = D / 2

D = 45*2

D = 90 mp

How is the same distance:

Second stretch

S = 90 / t

Average speed (AS):

AS = (S1+S2) / 2

60 = [45+(90/t)] / 2

120 = 45+90/t

120-45 = 90/t

75 = 90/t

t = 90/75

t = 1,2 h

________________________

And now:

S = 90 / t

S = 90 / 1,2

S = 75 mph
