The length of one step is 21 inches

Let x = length of one step

Since Marcus takes 5 steps to move from 8 inches to 113 inches, then the length of one step will be calculated thus:

x = (113 inches - 8 inches) / Number of steps

x = (113 inches - 8 inches) / 5

x = 105 inches/5

x= 21 inches

In conclusion, the length of one step is 21 inches

A certain standardized test's math scores have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 530 and a standard deviation of 119. Co

kumpel [21]

Answer:

a) 68.2%

b) 31.8%

c) 2.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 530

Standard Deviation, σ = 119

We are given that the distribution of math scores is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

a) P(test scores is between 411 and 649)

$P(411 \leq x \leq 649)\\\\= P(\displaystyle\frac{411 - 530}{119} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{649-530}{119})\\\\= P(-1 \leq z \leq 1)\\\\= P(z \leq 1) - P(z < -1)\\= 0.841 - 0.159 = 0.682 = 68.2\%$

b) P(scores is less than 411 or greater than 649)

$P(x < 411 < x, x > 649)\\=1 = P(411 \leq x \leq 649)\\=1 - 0.682\\=0.318 = 31.8\%$

c) P(score greater than 768)

P(x > 768)

$P( x > 768) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{768 - 530}{119}) = P(z > 2)$

$= 1 - P(z \leq 2)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x > 768) = 1 -0.977 = 0.023 = 2.3\%$

Train A and train B leave a central station at the same time. They travel the same speed, but in opposite directions, with train

mylen [45]

Train A:

Distance (s) = 420 miles
Time (t) = 3 hours
Speed (v) = distance ÷ time = 420 ÷ 3 = 140 miles/hour

Train B:

Distance (s) = 420 miles
Time (t) = 2.25 hours
Speed (v) = distance ÷ time = 420 ÷ 2.25 = 186.7 miles/hour
