Question

A random sample of SAT scores has a sample mean ofă = 1060 and sample standard deviation of s = 195. Use the

Empirical Rule to estimate the approximate percentage of SAT scores that are less than 865.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The approximate percentage of SAT scores that are less than 865 is 16%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean of 1060, standard deviation of 195.

Empirical Rule to estimate the approximate percentage of SAT scores that are less than 865.

865 = 1060 - 195

So 865 is one standard deviation below the mean.

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean, so approximately 100 - 68 = 32% are more than 1 standard deviation from the mean. The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that approximately 32/2 = 16% are more than 1 standard deviation below the mean and approximately 16% are more than 1 standard deviation above the mean. So

The approximate percentage of SAT scores that are less than 865 is 16%.

Answer:

The degree of the equation is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

At first we have a 4 polinomyal expressions. Something happens here that in the third step we only have 2 polynomial expressions.

What is occuring? In this case, we just grab two polynomial and try to reduce the expression to a simple expression (And larger) so, we take the first two polynomial expressions:

(2x + 3) * (x² - 1)

In this case, the first term will multiply the first and second term of the second polynomial expression, and after that, the second term of the first polynomial do the same thing with the other two terms:

(2x * x²) + (2x * -1) + (3 * x²) + (3 * -1)

= 2x³ - 2x + 3x² - 3

Now, we apply the same thing with the other two expressions:

(x + 1) * (x - 2)

= (x * x) + (x * -2) + (1 * x) + (1 * -2)

= x² - 2x + x -2

= x² - x - 2

For the last step, we do the same thing, only that in this case is larger cause we have a bigger expression, but the principle is the same. To get a better understanding I will put every operation by line so you won't get confused:

(2x³ - 2x + 3x² - 3) * (x² - x - 2)

= (2x³ * x²) + (2x³ * -x) + (2x³ * -2)

+ (-2x * x²) + (-2x * -x) + (-2x * -2)

+ (3x² * x²) + (3x² * -x) + (3x² * -2)

+ (-3 * x²) + (-3 * -x) + (-3 * -2)

= (2x⁵ - 2x⁴ - 4x³)  

+ (-2x³ + 2x² + 4x)

+ (-3x⁴ - 3x³ - 6x²)

+ (-3x² + 3x + 6)

Simplifying:

= 2x⁵ - 5x⁴ - 9x³ - 7x² + 7x + 6

The term with the highest exponent will determine the degree of the equation. So the equation is 5th degree.

Hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so .. the first answer is
-2x + 18 =2
Move the constant to the right
-2x =2 - 18
Calculate the difference
-2x = -16
Divide both sides of the equation by -2
And that’s how I got x=8


The other one is x - 6y = -4
X= 6y - 4
Move the variable to the left hand side by adding it’s opposite to both sides
X - 6y = 6y - 4 - 6y
Since two opposites add up to zero,remove them from the expression
And that’s how x - 6y = -4

-x^3-x^2=11x+11

Answers

Answer:

x= -1 , i(sqrt11) , -i(sqrt11)

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 11x from both sides

-x^3 - x^2 - 11x = 11

subtract 11 from both sides

-x^3 - x^2 - 11x - 11 = 0

Factor the left side of the equation

- (x - 1)(x^2 + 11) = 0

Set both factors to zero and solve for x

x + 1 = 0 x^2 + 11 = 0

-1 -11

x^2 = -11

x = -1 x = +/- i(sqrt11)

negative 5x plus 4y equals 3 i need x and y please

Answers

Answer:

x = 9

y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + 4y = 3

x = 2y - 15

Manipulate the equations such that the coefficients of two variables are additive inverses

-5x + 4y = 3

x = 2y - 15

Inverse operations

-> 4y - 3 = 5x

-> 2y - 15 = x (*(-5))

->4y - 3 = 5x

-> -10y + 75 = -5x

Now add the equations to eliminate a variable,

4y - 3 = 5x

-10y + 75 = -5x

-6y + 72 = 0

Inverse operations

-6y + 72 = 0

72 = 6y

/6       /6

12 = y

Back solve to find (x)

2y - 15 = x

2(12) - 15 = x

24 - 15 = x

9 = x

A cereal box says that it now contains 25% more cereal. If it originally had 12 ounces of cereal, how much does it have now?

Answers

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

21 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is percentage increase.

In order to find that, we simply do:

(100+25)% = 125%

100% = 12 ounces

125% = ?

12*125/100 = 9 ounces

Add it up to the original amount:

12+9 = 21 ounces

A can of tomato soup has a circular base with a diameter of 7 cm. If the surface area of the can is 104.3 cm. What is the height of the can?

Answers

Answer:

1.243 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a cylinder is the sum of the area of the two congruent circular bases and the rectangular lateral area.

[tex] SA = 2\pi r^2 + 2 \pi rh [/tex]

[tex] SA = 2\pi r(r + h) [/tex]

We are given the surface area and the diameter.

r = d/2 = 7 cm / 2 = 3.5 cm

We can solve for h, the height.

[tex] SA = 2\pi r(r + h) [/tex]

[tex] 2\pi r(r + h) = SA [/tex]

[tex] r + h = \dfrac{SA}{2\pi r} [/tex]

[tex] h = \dfrac{SA}{2\pi r} - r [/tex]

[tex] h = \dfrac{104.3~cm^2}{2(3.14159)(3.5~cm)} - 3.5~cm [/tex]

[tex] h = 1.243~cm [/tex]

What is the arithmetic operator?

Arithmetic operators are four basic mathematical operations in which summation, subtraction, division, and multiplication involve.,

Summation = addition of two or more numbers or variable

As per the given,

4 copies of 1/5

The first copy of /5 = 1/5

Second one = 1/5

Third = 1/5

And fourth = 1/5

Collective all copies are 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5

Take LCM as 5,

(1 + 1 + 1 + 1)/5 = 4/5

Hence "The 4 copies of the fraction 1/5 will be 4/5".

We have,

[tex]P=-3-4L-6[/tex]

It can be written as

[tex]P=(-3-6)-4L[/tex]

[tex]P=-9-4L[/tex]

We need to isolate variable L.

Adding 6 on both sides, we get

[tex]P+6=-4L[/tex]

Dividing both sides by -4, we get

[tex]\dfrac{P+6}{-4}=L[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{P}{-4}+\dfrac{6}{-4}=L[/tex]

[tex]-\dfrac{P}{4}-1.5=L[/tex]

Therefore, the required value of L in terms of P is [tex]L=-\dfrac{P}{4}-1.5[/tex].

Rahul is an engineer and designed an electric car which is moving at an average speed of 56 km per hour. One day, he is travelling and testing his car. If he travelled 7 hours on that day, how much distance does he travelled?​

Answers

Answer: He travelled 392 km that day.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Speed of electric car = 56 km per hour.

Time = 7 hours

We know that,

Distance = Speed x Time

If he travelled 7 hours on that day, then Distance traveled in 7 hours on that day= (56 km per hour)  x (7 hours)

i.e. Distance traveled in 7 hours on that day== 392 km

Hence, he travelled 392 km that day.

[tex]P=8\sqrt{x} +7\sqrt{x} +9\sqrt{x}[/tex]

Combine like terms, meaning the numbers with [tex]\sqrt{x}[/tex]

[tex]P=24\sqrt{x}[/tex]

To find the area of the triangle, we will use the formula [tex]A=\frac{1}{2} bh[/tex], where b is the base and h is the height

The base is: [tex]9\sqrt{x}[/tex]

The height is: [tex]8\sqrt{x}[/tex]
