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

Find the area under the standard normal curve to the right of z=1.9
tresset_1 [31]

To find the area to the right of a positive​ z-score, begin by reading off the area in the standard normal distribution table. Since the total area under the bell curve is 1, we subtract the area from the table from 1. For example, the area to the left of z = 1.02 is given in the table as .846.

EleoNora [17]

Given

Elysse paid for her sandwich and drink with a $10 bill and received $0.63 in change.

The sandwich cost $7.75 and sales tax was $0.47.

Find out the  cost of her drink

To proof

Let the cost of her drink be x.

As given in the question

Elysse paid for her sandwich and drink with a $10 bill and received $0.63 in change.

Elysse paid for her sandwich and drink = 10 - 0.63              

                                                                 =  $ 9.37

sandwich cost $7.75 and sales tax was $0.47

Than the equation becomes

x = 9.37 - (7.75 + 0.47)

x = 9.37 - 8.22

x = $ 1.15

The cost of the drink is $ 1.15.

Hence proved

1.An object falls from rest on a high tower and takes 5.0 s to hit the ground. Calculate the object’s position from the top of t
Arte-miy333 [17]
We will be using this equation for this problem
d = ut + ½.at²
<span>Given:</span>
<span>initial velocity, u = 0 (falling from rest) </span>
<span>acceleration, a = +9.80 m/s²(taking down as the convenient positive direction) </span>
<span>Time = 1.0s, 2.0s, 3.0s, 4.0s, 5.0s </span>

<span>Using .. d = ½.at² each time (each calculation is the distance from the top) </span>
<span>For 1.0s .. d = ½ x 9.80 x (1²) = 4.90 m </span>
<span>For 2.0s .. d = ½ x 9.80 x (2²) = 19.60 m </span>
<span>3.0s .. d = 44.10m (you show the working for the rest) </span>
<span>4.0s .. d = 78.40 m </span>
<span>5.0s .. d = 122.50m </span>

<span>Plot distance (displacement from the top) on the y-axis against time on the x-axis (label axes and give units for each).The line of best fit will be a smoothly upward curving line getting progressively steeper. Do not join graph points with straight lines.</span>
