Answer:

18 students are likely to be wearing red

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we know a student either wears red , or blue, with the probability of a student wearing red is 3 times more probable than wearing white.

So, let’s say out of the 24 students, x of them are wearing white. What this practically mean is that 3 * x = 3x of the students would be expected to be wearing red.

Now, adding the number of people wearing red and white together in terms of x, we have x + 3x = 4x

We equate this to 24; 4x = 24 and x = 24/4; x = 6

The number wearing red probably is 3 * x = 3 * 6 = 18 people

Show a way to count from 170 to 410 using tens and hundreds. circle at least 1 benchmark number
Anastasy [175]
Benchmark are numbers that are used as standards to which the rest of the data is compared to. When counting numbers using a number line, the benchmark numbers are the intervals written on the axis. For benchmark numbers of 10, the number line on top of the attached picture is shown. Starting from 170, the tick marks are added by 10, such that the next numbers are 180, 190, 200, and so on and so forth. When you want to find 410, just find the benchmark number 410.

The same applies to benchmark numbers in intervals of 100. If you want to find 170, used the benchmark numbers 100 and 200. Then, you estimate at which point represents 170. For 410, you base on the benchmark numbers 400 and 500.

Which data set is least Likely to resemble a normal distribution?<br> Look at picture
kicyunya [14]

Answer: B) The heights of girls who live on a certain street in the city of Buffalo

Every answer choice starts with "the heights of all 14-year-old girls who", so we can ignore that part. Choice A describes the largest population while choice B describes the smallest population. In other words, choice A is very general and broad, while choice B is very specific and narrow. The more specific you get and the smaller the population is, the less likely its going to be normally distributed.

write and solve an equation to find the width of the box if it's volume is 96 cubic centimeters. then find its surface area
Alex73 [517]
There's not enough given information in the question to calculate an answer.

If we only know that the volume of the box is 96 cm³, then there are an infinite
number of different lengths, widths, and surface areas that it could have.

The heaviest land animal ever recorded (according to the Guinness Book of World Records) was a male African bush elephant. He we
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

The largest African elephant weighed 13.5 tons (27,000 pounds) The world record holder weighed this much and stood 13ft/4m tall at the shoulder. There are other species of elephants, namely the Asian and the Indian, but they are much smaller than the African. The African elephant is the king among the giants on land. No other land animal comes close to the size of these creatures. It would take 165 full-grown men to make up the same weight as the world's record African elephant. The noise of an elephant digesting its food (when its tummy's growling) can be heard up to 600ft/183m away. Elephants actually have control over their digestive processes because they are able to stop the sounds of digestion when they sense danger. Here are some other cool elephant factoids:

The olsen agricultural company has determined that the weight of hay bales is normally distributed with a mean equal to 80 pound
Marina86 [1]
Normalcdf(78, 82, 80, 8/√(64)) = 0.9544997361

The standard deviation of the sample mean will be 8/√64 = 1, so you are asking for the probability that the value will be within 2 standard deviations of the mean. This is a number most statistics students are asked to memorize.

Your probability is about 0.9545.
