Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Elanor's standardized score is 1.08.

2. Gerald's standardized score is 3.24.

3.  A. Gerald.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

1. What is Elanor's standardized score?

Eleanor scores 680 on the mathematics part of the SAT. The distribution of SAT math scores in recent years has been Normal with mean 561 and standard deviation 110. This means that we have [tex]X = 680, \mu = 561, \sigma = 110[/tex].

The standardized score is:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{680 - 561}{110}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.08[/tex]

Elanor's standardized score is 1.08.

2. What is Gerald's standardized score?

Gerald takes the ACT Assessment mathematics test and scores 27. ACT math scores are Normally distributed with mean 20.2 and standard deviation 2.1. This means that we have [tex]X = 27, \mu = 20.2, \sigma = 2.1[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{27 - 20.2}{2.1}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 3.24[/tex]

Gerald's standardized score is 3.24.

3. Assuming that both tests measure the same kind of ability, who has the higher score?

Due to the higher standardized score, Gerald

Solve the equation
z³=27

Answers

Answer: z = 3, -1.5 + 1.5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]i, -1.5 - 1.5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]i

Step-by-step explanation:

      A cubic equation will have three solutions. This equatoin will give us one real solution. We will also have two complex solutions. These are solutions that involve "imaginary numbers" and will utilize the value i. We will write the equation in standard form and factor it.

              z³ - 27 = 0

              (z - 3)(z² + 3z + 9) = 0

      The first factor gives us z = 3, because 3 - 3 = 0. Now, we will look at when the second factor equals 0. Let us complete the square.

              z² + 3z + 9 = 0

              (z² + 3z + 2.25) + 9 - 1.5 = 0

              (z² + 3z + 2.25) + 6.75 = 0

              (z + 1.5)² + 6.75 = 0

      Lastly, we can continue solving. We will subtract 7.5 from both sides of the equation and then take the square root of both sides. Then, we will subtract 1.5 from both sides of the equation and simplify the radical.  [tex]i=\sqrt{-1}[/tex].

              (z + 1.5)² = -6.75

              z + 1.5 = ±[tex]\sqrt{6.75}[/tex]i

              z = -1.5 ±1.5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]i

Answer:

  z = 3, -1.5+1.5√3i, -1.5-1.5√3i

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the solutions to the equation z³ = 27.

Cubic

A cubic equation has three solutions. This one has one positive real solution and two complex conjugate solutions.

We can rewrite the equation to standard form, then factor the difference of cubes.

  z³ -27 = 0

  (z -3)(z² +3z +9) = 0

The first factor will be zero when z = 3, so that is one solution.

The second factor will be zero when ...

  (z +1.5)² +6.75 = 0 . . . . . . . complete the square

  (z +1.5) = ±√(-6.75) = ±√(-27/4) = ±(3/2)√(-3) . . . subtract 6.75; square root

  z = -1.5 ±1.5√3i

The three solutions to the equation are ...

z = 3z = -1.5+1.5(√3)iz = -1.5-1.5(√3)i

Nicholas performs an experiment in which he pulls a marble from a bag. In his experiment, he finds that he is twice as likely to pull a red marble as a blue marble. If Nicholas pulls 10 red marbles, how many blue marbles does he pull?

Answers

Answer:

Nicholas pulls 5 blue marbles from the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Nicholas performs an experiment in which he pulls a marble from a bag, and in his experiment, he finds that he is twice as likely to pull a red marble as a blue marble, to determine, if Nicholas pulls 10 red marbles, how many blue marbles does he pull, the following calculation must be performed:

10/2 = X

5 = X

Therefore, Nicholas pulls 5 blue marbles from the bag.

The sum of two numbers is 32. One number is 10 more than the other. Find the numbers

Answers

Answer:

12 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

11 and 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number equal x. If the first number, the second number is ten more, and can represented as x + 10. Now, the sum is 32, so we can add the two numbers to get 32:

x + x + 10 = 32

2x + 10 = 32

2x = 22

x = 11

If the first number 11, the second number is 10 more, and therefore is 21.

If you graphed [tex]x < -3[/tex], without the "or equal to" portion, then you would have an open circle at the endpoint. The open circle means we don't include that value as part of the solution set.

Perimeter = 2(L+W)

Perimeter = 2(2x+1+5x-7)

Perimeter = 2(7x - 6)

Perimeter = 14x - 12

What is the value of x

Answers

Hello :) to find x you will have to use tan. It would be tan51=x/8 I’m order to get the answer you would have to 8 times tan51 in your calculator. Your answer should be 9.879 which you can round to 9.9. I hope I helped

Hey there! :)

Please keep in mind that SOH-CAH-TOA is a life saver when it comes to trig! Where:

- SOH = Sin: opposite over hypotenuse

- CAH = Cos: adjacent over hypotenuse

- TOA = Tan: opposite over adjacent

The question is asking us to find the value of x given the following located in the image provided.

Because we've been given 51°, we'll use this angle to determine whether we're using Sin, Cos, or Tan.

We must now look at the other given variables in this triangle - specifically where they are located.

While looking at our given angle (51°), we see that x is located on the opposite side of 51° while 8 is located adjacent (also known as next) to 51°.

Because of this, we now know that we'll be using Tan (opposite over adjacent) to find the value of x because our given values are opposite and adjacent to 51°.

We now set up our equation to find the value of x:

tan (51°) = [tex]\frac{x}{8}[/tex] ⇒ we set it up this way because x is opposite of 51° & 8 is adjacent to it.

Now, we must remove all fractions. We can do this by multiplying both sides by 8.

8 × tan (51°) = [tex]\frac{x}{8}[/tex] × 8

Now, we simplify.

8 × tan (51°) = x

Now, we plug this into our calculator. Make sure your calculator is in degrees mode since we are using degrees, not radians.

8 × 1.2348 = x

Simplify.

x = 9.9

Therefore, angle x is 9.9

Hope this helped! :)

A shape has 2 pairs of parallel sides and no right angles. Its sides are all the same length. What shape is it?

C. Rectangle
D. Square

Answers

Answer: The attached figure is a parallelogram with one corner chopped off, making it a pentagon. It still has two pairs of parallel sides & no right angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelogram is the word that most generally describes such a figure. A square or rectangle, which do, of course have right angles, are special cases of the parallelogram.

I am assuming (perhaps unjustifiably) that when you say “two pairs of parallel sides” you are talking of a figure with no other sides than those four.

There are, of course, many other polygons (hexagons, octagons, decagons, etc) which have two pairs of parallel sides and other sides, any two of which may or may not be parallel.

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

When a secant and a tangent are drawn to a circle from a point outside the circle, the lengths are related this way:

The square of the length of the tangent equals the product of the length of the secant and the length of the segment of the secant outside the circle.

(x + 2)² = x(x + 5)
