Answer:
$22.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2.5% = .025
900 divided by 1.5 = 600
600 multiplied by .025 = 15
15 divided by .5 = 7.5
15 + 7.5 = 22.5
The answer depends on the perspective; however, this question is often meant to be a "trick question"; with the answer being: 2 (two) apples!
_______________________________________________
The rationale behind this answer is that if there are three apples, but you "take 2 away" you now have "2" apples, because YOU are the one who "took away the 2 apples"—so presumably, YOU have the "2 apples" that YOU "took away"!
Answer:
<u>The probability that a randomly selected boy in school can run the mile in less than 348 seconds is 1.1%.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:
μ of the time a group of boys run the mile in its secondary- school fitness test = 440 seconds
σ of the time a group of boys run the mile in its secondary- school fitness test = 40 seconds
2. Find the probability that a randomly selected boy in school can run the mile in less than 348 seconds.
Let's find out the z-score, this way:
z-score = (348 - 440)/40
z-score = -92/40 = -2.3
Now let's find out the probability of z-score = -2.3, using the table:
p (-2.3) = 0.0107
p (-2.3) = 0.0107 * 100
p (-2.3) = 1.1% (rounding to the next tenth)
<u>The probability that a randomly selected boy in school can run the mile in less than 348 seconds is 1.1%.</u>
8/12 is .67, when rounded. In order to find her percentage, multiply .67 by 100 to get it. She got 66.7%, when rounded, on the test.
