Answer: The proportion of students spending at least 2 hours on social media equals 0.7257 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The typical college freshman spends an average of μ=150 minutes per day, with a standard deviation of σ=50 minutes, on social media.

The distribution of time on social media is known to be Normal.

Let x be the number of minutes spent on social media.

Then, the probability that students spending at least 2 hours (2 hours = 120 minutes as 1 hour = 60 minutes) on social media would be:

P(x\geq120)=1-P(x

Hence, the proportion of students spending at least 2 hours on social media equals 0.7257 .

Many residents of suburban neighborhoods own more than one car but consider one of their cars to be the main family vehicle. The
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

95.4% of family vehicles is between 1 and 3 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 2

Standard Deviation, σ = 6 months = 0.5 year

We are given that the distribution of age of cars is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

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

P(family vehicles is between 1 and 3 years old)

P(1 \leq x \leq 3)\\\\ = P(\displaystyle\frac{1 - 2}{0.5} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{3-2}{0.5}) = P(-2 \leq z \leq 2)\\\\= P(z \leq 2) - P(z < -2)\\= 0.977 -0.023 = 0.954= 95.4\%

P(1 \leq x \leq 3) = 95.4%

95.4% of family vehicles is between 1 and 3 years old.

Jeanine’s swimming pool has a diameter of 27 feet. Surrounding the pool is a
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

It will cost $427.04 to paint deck and it will cost 958.485 to add fencing around deck

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of swimming pool = 27 feet

Radius of pool r=\frac{27}{2}=13.5 feet

Surrounding the pool is a  deck that extends 5 feet from the edges of the pool

Outer radius R = 13.5+5=18.5

Area of deck = Outer area - Inner area

Area of deck =\pi R^2 -\pi r^2

Area of deck = 3.14(18.5^2-13.5^2)

Area of deck = 502.4 ft^2

Cost of painting 1 sq.feet = $0.85

Cost of painting 502.4 sq.feet = 502.4 \times 0.85=427.04

Perimeter of deck = 2 \pi R = 2 \times 3.14 \times 18.5 =116.18 feet

Cost of fencing 1 foot = $8.25

Cost of fencing 116.18 foot = 116.18 \times 8.25=958.485

Hence it will cost $427.04 to paint deck and it will cost 958.485 to add fencing around deck

A school pays $1,825 for 150 shirts. This includes the $25 flat-rate shipping cost.
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

a)

We know that the total cost for the 150 shirts (plus a flat-rate of $25) is $1,825.

First, let's find how much costs each shirt.

First, the total cost of the shirts alone (neglecting the flat-rate) is:

$1,825 - $25 = $1,800

Then each shirt costs equal to the quotient of the cost and the number of shirts:

$1,800/150 = $12

Each shirt costs $12.

Then if you order T shirts, the total cost will be the flat-rate of $25 plus T times $12. The equation is:

C(T) = $25 + T*$12

b) C represents the cost

   T represents the number of shirts ordered.

c) The initial value is the constant value, in this case, is $25

The rate of change is the coefficient that multiplies the independent variable (T), in the equation the rate of change is $12.

9. Gold miners in Alaska have found, on average, 12 ounces of gold per 1000 tons of dirt excavated with a standard deviation of
netineya [11]

Answer:

9.18% probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 12, \sigma = 3

What is the probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 16. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{16 - 12}{3}

Z = 1.33

Z = 1.33 has a pvalue of 0.9082

1 - 0.9082 = 0.0918

9.18% probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated
