Answer:

The standard deviation of car age is 2.17 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 7.5

(a) If 99.7% of the ages are between 1 year and 14 years, what is the standard deviation of car age?

This means that 1 is 3 standard deviations below the mean and 14 is 3 standard deviations above the mean.

So

14 = 7.5 + 3\sigma

I want to find \sigma

3\sigma = 6.5

\sigma = \frac{6.5}{3}

\sigma = 2.17

The standard deviation of car age is 2.17 years.

Answer:

2.167

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 99.7% of the data are within 3 standard deviations of the mean = 6.5 years <em>( I found that from 14 - 7.5 or 7.5 - 1)</em>. So 6.5/3 = 2.167.

The aquarium has 10 more red fish than blue fish. 60 percent of the fish are red. How many blue fish are in the aquarium?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

20 blue fish

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of blue fish = x

Number of red fish = x+10

Red fish = 60% of total = 0.6

Total fish = x+x+10 = 2x+10

0.6 = (x+10)/(2x+10)

Solve for x:

1.2x+6 = x+10

0.2x = 4

x = 20

Hope this helps!

Elliot collects miniature toy cars. He wants to fill 4 display cases.each display case holds 15 cars. He has 28 cars now, and he
baherus [9]

Answer:

Elliot has to wait 11 months before he has enough cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Elliot has 4 display cases with each case being able to hold 15 cars. Thus we know

total # of cars Elliot can place in his display case = 4 * 15 = 60 cars

From this, we can figure out how many more cars Elliot needs by subtracting the amount of cars he already has

# of cars Elliot needs = 60 - 28 = 32 cars

Now to find the number of months Elliot needs, we divide by how many he can buy each month

# of months Elliot needs to save up for = 32 / 3 = 10 2/3

Assuming Elliot does not get his allowance until the end of the month, we will have to round the number of months up to the nearest integer, 11
