<h3>Answer:   83.85%</h3>

This value is approximate.

==========================================================

Explanation:

Let's compute the z score for x = 40

z = (x-mu)/sigma

z = (40-47)/7

z = -1

We're exactly one standard deviation below the mean.

Repeat these steps for x = 68

z = (x-mu)/sigma

z = (68-47)/7

z = 3

This score is exactly three standard deviations above the mean.

Now refer to the Empirical Rule chart below. We'll add up the percentages that are between z = -1 and z = 3. This consists of the two pink regions (each 34%), the right blue region (13.5%) and the right green region (2.35%). These percentages are approximate.

34+34+13.5+2.35 = 83.85

<u>Roughly 83.85%</u> of the one-mile roadways have between 40 and 68 potholes.

1 7/8 divided by 3/4 can someone please help me
sesenic [268]
1. Change 1 7/8 to an improper fraction, which gives you 15/8.

2. Use KFC to divide fractions. KEEP the first term, FLIP the second and CHANGE to multiplication.

3. 15/8 x 4/3 = 60/24 = 2 1/2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Batting average = 0.25 after 160 times at bat;

Batting Average = Number of hits / number of times at bat

0.25 = number of hits / 160

Number of hits = 0.25 * 160 = 40

He want batting average to improve to 0.333 ; if he makes hit the next x times at bat ; number of hits is needed to improve batting average

Hence,

New average = number of hits / number of times at bat

0.333 = (number of hits + x) / (160 + x)

0.333 = (40 + x) / (160 + x)
