How many minutes is it before 12 noon if 68 minutes ago it was three times as many minutes past 10 a.m.?

1 answer:

7 0

If 68 minutes ago it (then) was three times as many minutes past 10 am (now)

x + 68 = 3 ×
×
(120 - x) →
→
x = 73 min
… if 68 minutes ago it (now) was three times as many minutes past 10 am (then)

x = 3 ×
×
[120 - (x + 68)] →
→
x = 39 min
… if 68 minutes ago it (then) was three times as many minutes past 10 am (then)

x + 68 = 3 ×
×
[120 - (x + 68)] →
→
x = 22 min

EASY PLS HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLY If -11 + N = -11, then N is the _____.

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

SteIf -11 + N = -11 then N is the additive inverse because if we do process of elimination (POE) we can cross out C and D because this is a addition problem not a multiplication, and we know its not B because that's like 99 + 0 = 99 set, but instead its A because its just like -8 + 8 = 0. (If this was not a multiple choice question then tell me)

The probability of multiple events happening is found by multiplying the probabilities of each event together.

$P_{d+even\ number}=P_{d}*P_{even}\\\\P_{d}=\frac{number\ of\ events}{total\ number\ of\ events}=\frac{(d)}{a,\ b,\ c,\ d,\ e)}=\frac{1}{5}\\\\P_{even}=\frac{number\ of\ events}{total\ number\ of\ events}=\frac{(2,\ 4,\ 6)}{(1,\ 2,\ 3,\ 4,\ 5,\ 6)}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{1}{5}*\frac{1}{2}=\boxed{\frac{1}{10}}$

So yes, 1/10 is the answer :)

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

$P(-2 \leq \bar X -\mu \leq 2)$

If we divide both sides by $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ we got:

$P(\frac{-2}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{9}}}\leq Z \leq \frac{2}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{9}}})$

And we can use the normal distribution table or excel to find the probabilites and we got:

$P(-1.5 \leq Z \leq 1.5)= P(Z$ Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the area of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(M,4)$

Where $\mu=M$ and $\sigma=4$

We select a a sample of n =4 and since the distribution for X is normal then we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

And we want to find this probability:

$P(-2 \leq \bar X -\mu \leq 2)$

If we divide both sides by $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ we got:

$P(\frac{-2}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{9}}}\leq Z \leq \frac{2}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{9}}})$

And we can use the normal distribution table or excel to find the probabilites and we got:

$P(-1.5 \leq Z \leq 1.5)= P(Z$
