Answer:

\frac{3}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of the total that is for corn (TC - Total corn):

TC=\frac{1}{4}

fraction of the corn section that is for white corn (WC - white corn in the corn seccion):

 WC=\frac{3}{5}

we need to find the fraction of the whole field that is for the white corn.

For this we need to find how much is \frac{3}{5} out of the \frac{1}{4} destinated to corn, and this will be the fraction of the total that is for white corn. We find this fraction by multiplying the fraction of corn (\frac{1}{4}) by the fraction of white corn in the corn section (\frac{3}{5}).

I will call the total fraction of white corn TWC, thus:

TWC=WC*TC=\\=\frac{3}{5} *\frac{1}{4} \\\\=\frac{3*1}{5*4} \\\\=\frac{3}{20}

the answer is: \frac{3}{20} of the whole field is planted with white corn

Marianna [84]

Question not correct, so i have attached the correct question.

Answer:

SE = 0.59

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of the students height is;

x' = (53 + 52.5 + 54 + 51 + 50.5 + 49.5 + 48 + 53 + 52 + 50)/10

x' = 51.35

Now, deviation from the mean for each height;

53 - 51.35 = 1.65

52.5 - 51.35 = 1.15

54 - 51.35 = 2.65

51 - 51.35 = -0.35

50.5 - 51.35 = -0.85

49.5 - 51.35 = -1.85

48 - 51.35 = -3.35

53 - 51.35 = 1.65

52 - 51.35 = 0.65

50 - 51.35 = -1.35

Now, square of the deviations above;

1.65² = 2.7225

1.15² = 1.3225

2.65² = 7.0225

-0.35² = 0.1225

-0.85² = 0.7225

-1.85² = 3.4225

-3.35² = 11.2225

1.65² = 2.7225

0.65² = 0.4225

-1.35² = 1.8225

Sum of the squared deviations;

2.7225 + 1.3225 + 7.0225 + 0.1225 + 0.7225 + 3.4225 + 11.2225 + 2.7225 + 0.4225 + 1.8225 = 31.525

Let's divide the sum by the DF of n - 1 i.e 10 - 1 = 9.

Thus;

31.525/9 = 3.50278

Taking the square root of that gives us the standard deviation.

Thus;

s = √3.50278

s = 1.8716

Formula for standard error is;

SE = s/√n

SE = 1.8716/√10

SE = 0.59

The average time taken to complete an exam, X, follows a normal probability distribution with mean = 60 minutes and standard dev
k0ka [10]

Answer: b. 0.8413

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The average time taken to complete an exam, X, follows a normal probability distribution with \mu=60\text{ minutes} and \sigma=30\text{ minutes} .

Then, the  probability that a randomly chosen student will take more than 30 minutes to complete the exam will be :-

P(x>30)=P(z>\dfrac{30-60}{30})\ \ [\because\ z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma} ]\\\\=P(z>-1)=P(z-z)=P(Z

 [using z-value table]

Hence, the probability that a randomly chosen student will take more than 30 minutes to complete the exam =  0.8413
