Two companies, A and B, package snack-size bags of cashews. Let X represent the weight of the packages from company A, and let Y

represent the weight of the packages from company B. The mean of X is 2.4 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.3 ounces, and the mean of Y is 1.8 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.5 ounces. Assuming these are independent random variables, which answer choice correctly calculates and interprets the standard deviation of the sum, S = X + Y? Sigma Subscript s = 0.2; companies A and B can expect the total weight of packages to vary by approximately 0.2 ounces from the mean. Sigma Subscript s = 0.34; companies A and B can expect the total weight of packages to vary by approximately 0.34 ounces from the mean. Sigma Subscript s = 0.58; companies A and B can expect the total weight of packages to vary by approximately 0.58 ounces from the mean. Sigma Subscript s = 0.8; companies A and B can expect the total weight of packages to vary by approximately 0.8 ounces from the mean.

The answer choice that correctly calculates and interprets the standard deviation of the sum, S = X + Y is D. Sigma Subscript s = 0.8; companies A and B can expect the total weight of packages to vary by approximately 0.8 ounces from the mean.

<h3>What does the standard deviation means?</h3>

A standard deviation means the all measure of how dispersed the data is in relation to the mean. It should be noted that low standard deviation means that the data are clustered around the mean, and the high standard deviation means that the data are more spread out.

In this case, the answer choice that correctly calculates and interprets the standard deviation of the sum, S = X + Y is the sigma Subscript s = 0.8; companies A and B can expect the total weight of packages to vary by approximately 0.8 ounces from the mean.

In conclusion, the correct option is D.

Increased by 15
past score was x
increased by 15 means he raised to 15+x
it was raised to 83%

therefor
x+15=83

natta225 [31]

Answer:

Option d is correct.

The number of students that chose Target as their favorite store over Ross = 4 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the question is obtained from another brainly question on here. But uploading it will lead to deletion of this answer as it would be violating the community guidelines here.

So, I'm going to describe the graph.

The graph provided with the question is a pie chart, with each region clearly shown and the corresponding percentage for each of the students' favourite stores that come up in the survey given as

TJMax - 20%

Wal-Mart - 25%

Ross - 20%

Target - 25%

Others - 10%.

How many more students surveyed chose Target as their favorite store over Ross?

Total number of students sampled = 80

Number of students that picked Target

= 25% × 80 = 20 students

Number of students that picked Ross

= 20% × 80 = 16 students.

Number of students that chose Target as their favorite store over Ross = 20 - 16 = 4 students.

Hope this Helps!!!

Can anyone help with 13 14 and 15 anything helps!!!
Luda [366]

13. The midpoint divides the segment into two equal parts. That is

BC = (1/2)·AC = (1/2)·(8x -20)

BC = 4x -10

Since you are told the other half is 3x -1, the two halves being equal tells you

... AB = BC

... 3x -1 = 4x -10

... x = 9 . . . . . add 10-3x

Then the measures of AB and BC are 3·9 - 1 = 4·9 -10 = 26.

BC = 26

The problem statement is not clear as to the desired form of the answer—whether it is to be in terms of x, or a number.

14. Same deal as the previous problem. The halves of the bisected segment are equal, giving you an equation that can be solved for x.

... CG = GD

... 5x -1 = 7x -13

... 12 = 2x . . . . . . . . . add 13-5x

... x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Now you have a value of x that you can use to find the length of EF.

... EF = 6x - 4 = 6·6 - 4 = 32

The parts of EF add to give its total length, so

... EG + GF = EF

... EG + 13 = 32

... EG = 19

15. Once again, the parts of a line segment add to give the whole.

... RS + ST = RT

... (2x -4) + (4x -1) = (8x -43)

... 38 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 43-6x

... x = 19

Since R is the midpoint of QS, RS will be half the length of QS. The length of RS is 2x -4 = 2(19) - 4 = 34. Then the length of QS is 2·34 = 68.

QS = 68

_____

To help check our work, we can find the lengths of the other segments in the diagram. ST = 4x - 1 = 75; RT = 8x - 43 = 109. So, we have ...

... QR : RS : ST = 34 : 34 : 75 . . . with QS = 68 and RT = 109.
