Answer:

60 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

You divide 300 by 5 and you get 60. You always need to divide the upper part to the lower part to reach the distance in ONE UNIT OF TIME. There, you have 5 seconds, yet you need the distance in 1 second.

This all is assuming that the train moved at a constant speed, where

ACCELERATION = 0, which is pretty improbable for a train.

The ages of the 32 recruits in police academy are normally distributed with a mean of 27 with a standard deviation of 2. What is

aksik [14]

Since it's a sample size, we use x, as the mean and s= standard deviation
_
Given: x =27, s = 2 and total sample = 32.
Probability that a recruit is at least 31 years old?

Let's calculate the Z score :
_
X - x 31 - 27
Z = ----------- → Z = -------- → Z = 2 (now look up in the Z score table,
s 2

Area (Z=2) =0.9772 , but Z ≥ 2 (at least) , then :
Area (Z≥2) = Area (Z≤ - 2) = 0.0228

P(≥31)= 0.0228
