uppose that the length of 20 years worth of baseball games has been investigated, and that it has been found that the average (mean) length of a game is 165 minutes and the standard deviation is 30 minutes. What is the probability that a randomly selected game will last between 120 and 210 minutes

P(120< x < 210) =  0.8664

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

time length = 20 year

average mean time μ = 165 min

standard deviation σ = 30 min

randomly selected game between = 120 and 210 minute

solution

so here probability between 120 and 210 will be

P(120< x < 210) =

P(120< x < 210) =

P(120< x < 210) = P(-1.5< Z < 1.5)

P(120< x < 210) = P(Z< 1.5) - P(Z< -1.5)

now we will use here this function in excel function

=NORMSDIST(z)

=NORMSDIST(-1.5)

P(120< x < 210) = 0.9332 - 0.0668

P(120< x < 210) =  0.8664

step-by-step explanation:

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
