The value of the function g(x) = x -3/2x + 1 for x = -1 is g(-1) = 4

<h3>How to evaluate the functions for the given value?</h3>

The function is given as:

g(x) = x -3/2x + 1

The value is given as:

x = -1

Substitute the known values in the above equation

i.e. we substitute the -1 for x in the above equation

So, we have:

g(-1) = -1 -3/2(-1) + 1

Expand the bracket

g(-1) = -1 -3/-2 + 1

Evaluate the sum and the difference

g(-1) = -4/-1

Evaluate the quotient

g(-1) = 4

Hence, the value of the function g(x) = x -3/2x + 1 for x = -1 is g(-1) = 4

So, the complete parameters are:

g(x) = x -3/2x + 1

x = -1

g(-1) = 4

A half-century ago, the mean height of women in a particular country in their 20s was 64.7 inches. Assume that the heights of

Ainat [17]

Answer:

99.5% of all samples of 21 of today's women in their 20's have mean heights of at least 65.86 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a half-century ago, the mean height of women in a particular country in their 20's was 64.7 inches. Assume that the heights of today's women in their 20's are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2.07 inches.

Also, a samples of 21 of today's women in their 20's have been taken.

Let $\bar X$ = sample mean heights

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean height of women = 64.7 inches

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 2.07 inches

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

Now, Probability that the sample of 21 of today's women in their 20's have mean heights of at least 65.86 inches is given by = P( $\bar X$ $\geq$ 65.86 inches)

P( $\bar X$ $\geq$ 65.86 inches) = P( $\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ $\geq$ $\frac{65.86-64.7}{\frac{2.07}{\sqrt{21} } }$ ) = P(Z $\geq$ -2.57) = P(Z $\leq$ 2.57)

= 0.99492 or 99.5%

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.57 in the z table which has an area of 0.99492.

Therefore, 99.5% of all samples of 21 of today's women in their 20's have mean heights of at least 65.86 inches.

If a person gets paid $290 a load and receive 5% increase on top of that, how much more is he getting paid?

lesya [120]

That person is getting $14.50 more. Since he gets a 5% increase from the set $290, you must multiply .05 (the percentage) with 290 (that person's original load payment). When you do so, you get $14.50 and that would be how much more the person is getting paid.

What is the value of y when line m is parallel to line n?

kvasek [131]

Angles B and D are supplementary angles, so if B's angle is 30 degrees, then D's angle at y would be 150, since they have to add to 180.
In short, angle y = 150
