The number of potholes in any given 1 mile stretch of freeway pavement in Pennsylvania has a bell-shaped distribution. This dist

ribution has a mean of 47 and a standard deviation of 7. Using the empirical rule, what is the approximate percentage of 1-mile long roadways with potholes numbering between 40 and 68?

<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.

Answer:

(5,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Midpoint = \displaystyle (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} ) where the two endpoints are (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

Plug in the given information:

Midpoint = (5,3), Endpoint = (5,5)

(5,3)=\displaystyle (\frac{5+x_2}{2},\frac{5+y_2}{2} ) where  (x_2,y_2) is the other endpoint

Solve for x_2:

\displaystyle \frac{5+x_2}{2} =5\\\\5+x_2 =10\\x_2 =5

Solve for y_2:

\displaystyle\frac{5+y_2}{2}=3 \\\\{5+y_2}=6\\y_2=1

Therefore, the other endpoint (x_2,y_2) is (5,1).

I hope this helps!

z varies jointly with x and y. When x = 2 and y = 3, z = 60. What is the value of z when x = 4 and y = 9?
kondor19780726 [428]
2 x 3 = 6 x 10 = 60
<em>Assuming that you are using the same rule:
</em><em>4 x 9 x 10 = 360
</em>The value of z when x = 4 and y = 9 is 360. Hope this helped!
