Suppose that the speeds of cars travelling on California freeways are normally distributed with a mean of miles/hour. The highwa

y patrol's policy is to issue tickets for cars with speeds exceeding miles/hour. The records show that exactly of the speeds exceed this limit. Find the standard deviation of the speeds of cars travelling on California freeways. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places.

Answer:

the standard deviation of the speeds of cars travelling on California freeways is 6.0 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the standard deviation of the speeds of cars is shown below;

The z score for the top 1% is 2.326

So,

= (75 - 61) ÷ standard deviation = 2.326

Standard deviation is

= 14 ÷ 2.326

= 6.0 miles per hour

Hence, the standard deviation of the speeds of cars travelling on California freeways is 6.0 miles per hour

x+y=500
0.05x+0.085y=40

Multiply both sides of second equation by 20 to getx+1.7y=800
Subtract that from first equation to get 0.7y=300
Divide both sides by 0.7 to get y=428.571, so about $428.57 was spent in store. This leaves 500-428.57=$71.43 that was spent online

Triangle MNO is reflected over the x-axis and then translated up 4 and right 3.
stepan [7]

Answer:

Translate the pre-image down 4 and right 3 and then reflect the figure over the x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pre-image consists of points:

(1, 3), (2, 1), (-1, 2)

Translating them down 4 units, we get:

(1, 3-4), (2, 1-4), (-1, 2-4)

(1, -1), (2, -3), (-1, -2)

Translating them right 3, we get:

(1+3, -1), (2+3, -3), (-1+3, -2)

(4, -1), (5, -3), (2, -2)

Reflecting them over the x-axis.,  we get:

(4, -(-1)), (5, -(-3)), (2, -(-2))

(4, 1), (5, 3), (2,2)

which correspond to the points of the image
