The Malthouse Charity Run is a 5 kilometre race. The time taken for each runner to complete the race was recorded. The data was

found to be normally distributed with a mean time
of 28 minutes and a standard deviation of 5 minutes.

A runner who completed the race is chosen at random.

Write down the probability that the runner completed the race in more than 28 minutes.

3b. [2 marks]

Calculate the probability that the runner completed the race in less than 26 minutes.

3c. [3 marks]

It is known that 20% of the runners took more than 28 minutes and less than minutes to complete the race.

Response:

0.5; 0.34458

Detailed explanation:

Given the following:

Mean (m) = 28

Standard deviation, s = 5

To calculate the Z-score:

Z = (x - m) / s

1.) P(x > 28)

Z = (28 - 28) / 5

Z = 0

P(Z > 0) = 0.5 (Z probability calculator)

2.) P(x < 26)

Z = (26 - 28) / 5

Z = -0.4

P(Z > -0.4) = 0.34458 (Z probability calculator)

What is the positive solution to the equation 0 = –x2 + 2x + 1? Quadratic formula: x = StartFraction negative b plus or minus St
zzz [12365]

Answer:

1+\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a quadratic equation given by

ax^2+bx+c=0.... (1)

The quadratic formula then is

x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

The quadratic equation provided is

0=-x^2+2x+1

This can be expressed as

-x^2+2x+1=0.... (2)

By comparing (1) and (2), we derive:

a=-1,b=2,c=1

Plug these values into the quadratic formula.

x=\dfrac{-2\pm \sqrt{2^2-4(-1)(1)}}{2(-1)}

x=\dfrac{-2\pm \sqrt{4+4}}{-2}

x=\dfrac{-2\pm \sqrt{8}}{-2}

x=\dfrac{-2\pm 2\sqrt{2}}{-2}

Factoring out common elements.

x=\dfrac{-2(1\pm \sqrt{2})}{-2}

x=1\pm \sqrt{2}

The two solutions are

x=1+\sqrt{2} and x=1-\sqrt{2}

We recognize that

\sqrt{2}=1.41

Thus,

1

Consequently, root x=1+\sqrt{2} is positive while x=1-\sqrt{2} is negative.

PIT_PIT [12445]

8mm correlates to 2cm just as 8mm aligns with 20mm

The ratio of 8: 20 simplifies down to 2: 5

3.25cm ÷ 5 equals 0.65cm

Multiplying 0.65 by 2 results in 1.3cm

Your answer amounts to 1.3cm

7. During a person's commute to school, she spends 10 minutes driving 30 miles per hour (mph) and 5 minutes stopped at red light
Inessa [12570]

Answer:

5 miles in total

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time spent driving = 10 min = 10 / 60 = 1/6 hour

Duration of stop = 5 min

Driving speed = 30 miles per hour

Find:

Complete distance

Computation:

Distance traveled = Speed × time

Distance = 30 × (1/6)

Total distance = 5 miles

A circle is centered at the point (-7, -1) and passes through the point (8, 7).The radius of the circle is____ units. The point
AnnZ [12381]
Part 1) The radius of the circle is r=17 units. Part 2) The points (-15,14) and (-15,-16) are situated on this circle. Step-by-step explanation: Step 1 Find the radius of the circle. We know that the distance from the center of the circle to any point on its circumference equals the radius of the circle. The formula to determine the distance between two points is equal to......we have (-7, -1) and (8, 7) substitute... Step 2 Determine the y-coordinate of point (-15,y). The standard form of the circle's equation is given by... where (h,k) represents the center, and r is the radius. Replace the values, substituting x=-15 in the equation... square root both sides... ultimately, we find two solutions: point (-15,14) and point (-15,-16) refer to the attached figure for a clearer understanding of the problem.
