If you're referring to the different sets of real numbers, it's the ones that you could try to do subtraction and not get an answer that still in that set.
For example, natural numbers (aka 1, 2, 3, 4, ...) are not, because 7 - 11 = -4 and -4 is not a natural number.
Also, whole numbers (aka 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...) has the same issue.
Basically any set of real numbers that doesn't include negative numbers will have this issue.
Complete question :
The 100m dah times in the girl's track meet were normally distributed with a mean of 13 seconds and a standard deviation of 0.3 seconds.
Lana finished the race in 13.2 seconds . If 84 other girls ran in the event, approximately how many runners did she beat?
Answer:
21 runners
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean, μ = 13 seconds
Standard deviation, σ = 0.3
Lana's race time = 13.2
We find the proportion of runners who had race time above 13.2 ;
Proportion of who had race tune above 13.2
P(x > 13.2)
Obtain the Zscore
Zscore = (x - μ) / σ
Z = (13.2 - 13) / 0.3
Zscore = 0.2 / 0.3 = 0.6667
P(Z > 0.6667) = 0.25239 (Z probability calculator)
This is about 0.25239 * 100 = 25.24% = 25% (nearest percent)
Hence, Number of runners Lana beat = 25% of total runners ;
0.25 * 84 = 21
Hence, Lana beat about 21 runners
