Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In the normal distribution curve, the mean is in the middle and each line to the left and to the right of that mean represent 1- and 1+ the standard deviation. If our mean is 400, then 400 + 50 = 450; 450 + 50 = 500; 500 + 50 = 550. Going from the mean to the left, we subtract the standard deviation and 400 - 50 = 350; 350 - 50 = 300; 300 - 50 = 250. We are interested in the range that falls between 350 and 450 as a percentage. That range represents the two middle sections, each containing 34% of the data. So the total percentage of response times is 68%. We are looking then for 68% of the 144 emergency response times in town. .68(144) = 97.92 or 98 emergencies that have response times of between 350 and 450 seconds.
Answer:
Sara- 17
Mark- 51
Caroline- 34
Step-by-step explanation:
1) start by adding the ratios together, so 1+3+2= 6. Due to the order of the ratio, Sara, gets 1 art of the money, Mark gets 3 parts and Caroline get 2 parts.
2) take the total amount of money (102) and divide it by (1+3+2). 102/6 is 17.
3) divide the money by the amount each person gets. Sara only has one part, so she has £17, Mark gets 3 parts so he gets £51, and Caroline gets 2 parts, so she ends up with £34.
4) do 17+34+51 to check it equals 102. ( it does ;D)
First, list the numbers from smallest to greatest:
12, 15, 18, 20, 23, 23, 28
Median is the middle number of the list—20.
You could do this with fractions. I'll do decimals later.
d = 3/4 mile
t = 2/3 hour
r = ????
r = 3/4 // 2/3 Invert and multiply the denominator
r = 3/4 * 3/2 = 9/8 = 1 1/8
If your calculator handles fractions, you can use it to do this. If not you can change this to a decimal.
d = 3/4 = 0.75 miles
t = 2/3 hour = 0.666666666 hours.
r = ???
d = r*t
r = d/t
r = 0.75 / 0.66666667
r = 1.125 miles / hour
which gives you exactly the same answer 1.125 = 1 1/8
