A study uses a sample of 200 college students to learn about the number of hours they studied for their final exams. The mean number of hours was 136 and the standard deviation was 14 hours. If this data falls under a normal distribution or bell curve, which of the following statements is NOT true?The number of students that studied 122 or fewer hours was about 32.

The number of students that studied 150 or fewer hours was about 168.

The majority of students studied between 122 and 150 hours.

No one studied less than 108 hours.

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

No one Studied less than 108 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because there were about 5 people that did study less than 108 hours! Hope this makes it easier to read

Answer 2

Answer: $\displaystyle\mathbb P(X\le122)=\mathbb P\left((X-136)/(14)\le(122-136)/(14)\right)=\mathbb P(Z\le-1)\approx0.1587$
which means $0.1587*200\approx32$ studied 122 or fewer hours.

$\displaystyle\mathbb P(X\le150)=\mathbb P\left((X-136)/(14)\le(150-136)/(14)\right)=\mathbb P(Z\le1)\approx0.8413$
which means $0.8413*200\approx168$ studied 150 or fewer hours.

So, neither of the first two are false.

Depending on your definition of "majority", you could also eliminate the third option. From the above calculations, you know that students that studied between 122 and 150 hours fall within 1 standard deviation of the mean, which corresponds to approximately 65% of the student population. "Majority" is often taken to mean "more than 50%", so this is also true.

This leaves us with the last option. For fun, let's compute that probability.
$\displaystyle\mathbb P(X<108)=\mathbb P\left((X-136)/(14)<(108-136)/(14)\right)=\mathbb P(Z<-2)\approx0.0228$
which means $0.0228*200\approx5$ students studied less than 108 hours.

This is about angles. Please answer someone?

Answers

Actually, this is not about angles. It's about the length of the sides in a right triangle.

In EVERY right triangle, the squares of the lengths of the short sides add up
to the square of the length of the longest side. You're in high school math,so
I'm SURE you've heard that in class before ... possibly even just before you
were assigned this problem.

Let's say that again: The squares of the lengths of the sides that meet at
the right angle add up to the square of the length of the longest side. In
the triangle in this particular problem, that means
a² + b² = c²

You know the lengths of 'b' and 'c', so you shouldn't have any trouble finding
the length of 'a'.

4x-5=6x+11 solve for x

Answers

Isolate X
4x - 5 = 6x + 11
4x - 4x - 5 = 6x - 11 - 4x
-5 = 6x - 4x - 11
-5 = 2x - 11
-5 + 11 = 2x -11 + 11
6 = 2x
6/2 = 2x/2
3 = x

X is 3.

4x - 5 = 6x + 11

10 x - 16

10 divided by 10 = x

16 divided by 10 = 1.6

x = 1.6

Joey and Armando live on the same st as the park. The park is 9/10 mile from Joey's home. Joey leaves home and walks to Armando's home. Then Joey and Armando walk 3/5 mile to the park. Write and solve an equation to find how far Joey walked to get to Armando's home.

Answers

Let's start by assuming Armando's house is between Joey's and the park.

Let $x$ be the distance Joey walked to Armando's house.

The park is 9/10 mile from Joey's home. Joey leaves home and walks to Armando's home. Then Joey and Armando walk 3/5 mile to the park.

$(9)/(10) = x + (3)/(5)$

$x = (9)/(10) - (3)/(5) = (9)/(10) -(6)/(10) = (3)/(10)$

That's probably the answer they're looking for. But what if the park is between Joey and Armando's houses or Joey is between the park and Armando? (The latter isn't really possible with the given distances.)

Let $a, b, c$ be the distances between three collinear points like we have here. Our equation is really a few equations in one, something like

$\pm a \pm b = \pm c$

Let's get rid of the plus/minuses. Squaring,

$a^2 + b^2\pm 2ab = c^2$

$\pm 2ab = c^2-a^2-b^2$

$4a^2b^2 = (c^2-a^2-b^2)^2$

For us, that's a quadratic equation for $c^2$

$4(9/10)^2(3/5)^2= (c^2-(9/10)^2 - (3/5)^2)^2$

I'll skip right to the solutions,

$c^2=(9)/(100) \textrm{ or } c^2=(9)/(4)$

$c=(3)/(10) \textrm{ or } c=(3)/(2)$

We could have gotten the 3/2 just by adding 9/10+3/5 but this was more fun.
