The finishing times of a 5K race run by competitive male runners age 15-18 are approximately normal distribution with a mean tim

e of 18 minutes and a standard deviation of 2 minutes. A particularly tough 5K race tends to take these same runners 4.5 additional minutes. To earn a completion medal in this particular 5K race, the runner must complete the race within 25 minutes.

Answer:

10.56%

Explanation:

Finishing times by competitive male runners age 15-18 for the tough 5K race are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 18 + 4.5 = 22.5 minutes and a standard deviation of 2 minutes. (Adding 4.5 minutes to each runner’s time does not affect the standard deviation of the finishing times.) Using technology: normalcdf(lower: 25, upper: 10000, mean: 22.5, SD: 2) = 0.1056, so about 10.56% of competitive male runners in the 15-18 age bracket typically do not earn a completion medal at this race. Using z-scores and Table A: z = (25 – 22.5)/2 = 1.25. The area to the left of z = 1.25 is 0.8944, so the area to the right of z = 1.25 is 1 – 0.8944 = 0.1056 or 10.56%.

Julie bought a house for $315,000 and has a $285,000 mortgage. She claims she has $315,000 in equity. Is she correct? If not, ho
andrezito [222]
In simple terms, the word "mortgage" is an account payable in which your house is the collateral. The asset acquired for the house is $315,000 but this value should be subtracted with the mortgage amount, $285,000 to calculate for the equity. 
                         equity = $315,000 - $285,000 
                                   = $30,000
Thus, the home equity Julie has is only $30,000.

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The decision of an ethics review committee about Dr. Franklin's research proposal is:

A:The proposal is approved, as it meets the ethical guidelines defined by the APA.

Explanation:

APA (American Psychological Association) has ethical guidelines for conducting psychological researches.  The most relevant one in this case is: "follow informed-consent rules."  Dr. Franklin clearly ensures that his students give their consents to participate in the eyewitness testimony study by having each sign a form to agree to participate in the research.  I am also sure that the confidentiality and privacy of subjects (students who participate in the research) will be highly protected, in line with another guideline of APA, because these issues have not raised any controversy.

4. One of the goals of macroeconomic policy is to reduce the severity of business cycles.
lisov135 [29]

A. In a business cycle there are ups and downs. When there is a peak or a high business is booming and employment is high, unemployment is down and inflation is high.

B. We have to bear in mind that there are four kinds of unemployment: structural, frictional, cyclical and seasonal. Structural unemployment is caused by the type of production and rules of an economy that govern whose abilities are valued in the market so it is not so realated to the business cycle. frictional unemployment is linked with changing jobs ( workers are moving or searching for better opportunities) so this is not so related to the business cycle. Cyclical unemployment is related to the change in the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) so<u> it is related to the business cycle</u>, Seasonal employment is associated with changes in the season so it is no so related to the business cycle.
