At the Canada Open Tennis Championship, a statistician keeps track of every serve that a player hits during the tournament. The

statistician reported that the mean serve speed of a particular player was 99 miles per hour (mph) and the standard deviation of the serve speeds was 15 mph.
If nothing is known about the shape of the distribution, give an interval that will contain the speeds of at least eight-ninths of the player's serves.

a) 54 mph to 144 mph
b) 39 mph to 159 mph
c) 144 mph to 189 mph
d) 69 mph to 129 mph

Answer:

a) 54 mph to 144 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know the shape of the distribution, so we use Chebyshev's Theorem to solve this question. It states that:

At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

At least eight-ninths of the player's serves.

8/9 is approximately 89%

So

Mean: 99, standard deviation: 15

99 - 3*15 = 54

99 + 3*15 = 144

So the correct answer is:

a) 54 mph to 144 mph

What is the equation of a line that passes through (-2,1) and is parallel to y=3x-4
Rama09 [41]
If a line is parallel to another, the slopes of both lines are the same. So for this problem, you can infer that the slope of the line you're trying to find is 3.

To find the actual equation of the line, you can use the given coordinates and plug them into the point slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

plug the given y coordinate into y1 and the given x coordinate into x1. m is the slope, so plug in 3 for m.

y - 1 = 3(x +2) Use distributive property for right side of equation

y - 1 = 3x + 6 add 1 to both sides to cancel -1 on left side of equation and isolate y

Equation of line: y = 3x + 7

Need help on numbers 1 and 2 ill mark brainliest if they are right
geniusboy [140]

Question author, it's spelled pi not pie, and we use just use the Greek letter π.  Students, demand better from your teachers.

1. Rectangular prism, aka a box. Volume is length times width times height.

V = 5×7×9 = 315 cubic feet

That's cubic feet of course, the product of three lengths.  We didn't even need to do the problem, just look for the common answer and pick the one with the right units.  I just saw that same pattern in a volume problem yesterday.

Answer: 315 cubic feet, first choice

2. Cylinder, volume is base area times height, πr²h.   We have a radius of r=14/2=7 yd and h=8 yd.  We're using π=3.14.

V = πr²h = 3.14(7²)(8) = 1230.88 cubic yds

Answer: 1230.9 cubic yards, last choice

The measure of an angle is 28 degrees less than its supplement. find the supplement
barxatty [35]

Supplementary angles measure 180°. Make an equation:

x+(x+28) = 180

Subtract 28 to leave the variable in the parentheses alone:

x+(x+28-28) =180-28 \\ x+x = 152

Add the 2 x's together:

x+x = 2x

Your new equation is:

2x=152

Divide both sides by 2 to leave the variable alone

\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{152}{2}  \\ \\ x = 76

The supplement measures 76°
