Running times for 400 meters are Normally distributed for young men between 18 and 30 years of age with a mean of 93 seconds and

a standard deviation of 16 seconds. How fast does a man have to run to be in the top 5% of runners (quickest runner)?

Answer: The running time should at least 119.32 seconds to be in the top 5% of runners.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X= random variable that represents the running time of men between 18 and 30 years of age.

As per given, X is normally distrusted with mean $\mu=93\text{ seconds}$ and standard deviation $\sigma=16\text{ seconds}$ .

To find: x in top 5% i.e. we need to find x such that P(X<x)=95% or 0.95.

i.e. $P(\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

$P(Z$

Since, z-value for 0.95 p-value ( one-tailed) =1.645

So,

Hence, the running time should at least 119.32 seconds to be in the top 5% of runners.

What is the y-value of the vertex of 4x^+ 8x - 8?

deff fn [24]

Answer: The y-value of the vertex is

Step-by-step explanation: we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola into vertex form is equal to

where

(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

In this problem we have

-----> this a vertical parabola open upward

Convert to vertex form

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

Factor the leading coefficient

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

Rewrite as perfect squares

The vertex is the point

The y-value of the vertex is

Answer:

$\tan \theta = - \frac{1}{5} = - 0.2$

$\cos \theta = 0.98$

$\sin \theta = - 0.196$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that $\cot \theta = - 5$ and $\theta$ is in the fourth quadrant.

So, only $\cos \theta$ will have positive value and $\sin \theta$ , $\tan \theta$ will have negative value.

Now, $\cot \theta = - 5$

⇒ $\tan \theta = \frac{1}{\cot \theta} = -\frac{1}{5}$ (Answer)

We know, that $\sec^{2} \theta - \tan^{2} \theta = 1$

⇒ $\sec \theta = \sqrt{1 + \tan^{2} \theta } = \sqrt{1 + (- \frac{1}{5} )^{2} } = 1.019$

{Since, $\cos \theta$ is positive then $\sec \theta$ will also be positive}

⇒ $\cos \theta = \frac{1}{\sec \theta} = \frac{1}{1.0198} = 0.98$ (Answer)

We know, that $\csc^{2} \theta - \cot^{2} \theta = 1$

⇒ $\csc \theta = - \sqrt{1 + \cot^{2} \theta } = - \sqrt{1 + (- 5 )^{2} } = - 5.099$

{Since, $\sin \theta$ is negative then $\csc \theta$ will also be negative}

⇒ $\sin \theta = \frac{1}{\csc \theta} = \frac{1}{- 5.099} = - 0.196$ (Answer)

What is the volume of the regular pyramid?

ad-work [718]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the regular pyramid is $V=\dfrac{1}{3}A_{base}H.$

The base of given pyramid is regular hexagon with side 12 cm. The are of this hexagon consistsof area of 6 equilateral triangles and is equal to

$A_{base}=6\cdot \dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 12\cdot 10.4=374.4\ cm^2.$

Hence, the volume of the pyramid is

$V=\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot 374.4\cdot 36=4,492.8\ cm^3.$
