The weights of players in a basketball league are distributed normally. the distance (d) of each player's weight (w) from the mean of 86 kilograms was computed as follows: d = |w - 86| if d is greater than 7 for approximately 5% of the players, what is the approximate standard deviation of the players' weights? a. 1.75 kilograms b. 3.5 kilograms c. 4.3 kilograms d. 7 kilograms
An object is translated by (x + 4, y - 2). if one point in the image has the coordinates (5, -3), what would be the coordinates of its pre-image? (9, -5) (1, -5) (9, -1) (1, -1)
Using pert, adam munson was able to determine that the expected project completion time for the construction of a pleasure yacht is 21 months, and the project variance is 4. a) what is the probability that the project will be completed in 17 months? b) what is the probability that the project will be completed in 20 months? c) what is the probability that the project will be completed in 23 months? d) what is the probability that the project will be completed in 25 months? e) what is the due date that yields a 95% chance of completion?
On the way home from visiting his family, vincent’s plane cruised at an altitude of 3.2 × 10^4 feet. he had heard that a man named felix baumgartner skydived from an altitude of 1.28 × 10^5 feet. vincent wants to know how much higher felix went on his skydiving trip. question 1 you have already seen how adding numbers works in either scientific notation or standard notation. but can you subtract numbers in scientific notation and get the same results as subtracting in standard notation? to find out, first solve vincent’s problem in standard notation. part a write the cruising altitude of vincent’s plane in standard notation.
