6 0

Answer:

  (a)  2%

Step-by-step explanation:

A score of 60 is 2 standard deviations below the mean (80 -2·10 = 60). The empirical rule tells you that 95% of the distribution is within 2 standard deviations of the mean. The remaining 5% is split evenly between those that are more than 2 SD above the mean and those that are more than 2 SD below the mean.

That tells you the percentage who failed is about 2.5%. The best answer choice is 2%.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The empirical rule is a little bit sloppy, but it gets you in the ballpark. The actual percentage is closer to 2.275%.

GIVING BRAINLY TO CORRECT answer
crimeas [40]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Range is defined as the greatest possible number minus the lowest possible number. The highest is 150 (in thousands) and the lowest is 25, meaning the range would be 125,000 and not 150,000.

Hope this helps!

HELP PLEASE!! Victoria and Jennifer walk at a different averagr speed. Victoris walks at an average speed of 1 1/5 miles in 1/2
Zanzabum

Answer:

Jennifer

4/15 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we find the two speeds in miles per hour.

Victoria:

1 1/5 mile per 1/2 hour = (1 1/5 mile)/(1/2 hour) = 2 2/5 mph = 2.4 mph

Jennifer:

2/3 mile per 1/4 hour = (2/3 mile)/(1/4 hour) = 8/3 mph = 2 2/3 mph

2 2/3 mph > 2 2/5 mph, so Jennifer's speed is greater.

The difference in speeds in mph is:

2 2/3 - 2 2/5 = 2 10/15 - 2 6/15 = 4/15
