Answer:

P(200\leq X\leq 400)=P(\frac{200-240}{12}\leq \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\leq \frac{400-240}{12})=P(-3.33\leq Z \leq 13.33)

=P(Z

So then the correct answer would be:

B) .9996

Step-by-step explanation:

The exact way to solve this problem is using the binomial distribution, assuming that our random variable of interest is "number of students living in apartments" represented by X and X \sim Bin(n=600, p =0.4)

And we want this probability:

P(200 \leq X \leq 400) [tex]In order to find this probability we can use the foloowing excel code:"=BINOM.DIST(400,600,0.4,TRUE)-BINOM.DIST(199,600,0.4,TRUE)"And we got:[tex] P(200 \leq X \leq 400) =0.999675[tex]But for this case the problem says that we need to approximate, so then we can use the normal approximation to the normal distribution. We need to check the conditions in order to use the normal approximation.
[tex]np=600*0.4=240\geq 10

n(1-p)=600*(1-0.4)=360 \geq 10

So we see that we satisfy the conditions and then we can apply the approximation.

If we appply the approximation the new mean and standard deviation are:

E(X)=np=600*0.4=240

\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{600*0.4(1-0.4)}=12

And then X \sim N (\mu = 240, \sigma= 12)

And we are interested on the following probability:

P(200\leq X\leq 400)=P(\frac{200-240}{12}\leq \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\leq \frac{400-240}{12})=P(-3.33\leq Z \leq 13.33)

=P(Z

So then the correct answer would be:

B) .9996

A car travels 568km in 8 1/2 hours. What is the average speed in meters/second?
GaryK [48]

Answer:

The speed would be 60kph

60/60=1

Step-by-step explanation:

60x24=1,440

It would at a speed of 1,440km per day.

In a year it would go 525,600 km.

Every nanosecond it would go 0.0001 cm.

An average person in the country needs 2,450 kilocalories(kcal) / day of food to meet their full nutritional needs. The average
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.057 ha

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Kilocalories needed for a person per day = 2450

Kilocalories produced per hectare = 15737000

Process

1.- Calculate the number of kcal needed per a person for a year

                     2450 kcal ----------------- 1 day

                         x            ----------------- 365 days

                              x = (365 x 2450) / 1

                             x = 894250 kcal

2.- Calculate the amount of land needed

                    15737000 kcal ------------- 1 ha

                        894250 kcal ------------  x

                          x = (894250 x 1) / 15737000

                          x = 0.057 ha
