The standard deviation for the number of people with the genetic mutation is 3.77

<h3>How to determine the standard deviation?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Sample size, n = 300

Proportion that has the particular genetic mutation, p = 5%

The standard deviation for the number of people with the genetic mutation is calculated as:

Standard deviation = √np(1 - p)

Substitute the known values in the above equation

Standard deviation = √300 * 5% * (1 - 5%)

Evaluate the product

Standard deviation = √14.25

Evaluate the exponent

Standard deviation = 3.77

Hence, the standard deviation for the number of people with the genetic mutation is 3.77

What is the area of the figure?<br><br> 40 ft2<br> 84 ft2<br> 96 ft2<br> can't be determined

mina [271]

Answer:

$A=80\ ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the figure is equal to the area of an isosceles triangle (has two equal sides) plus the area of a rectangle

step 1

Find the area of the triangle

The area of the triangle is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$

we have

$b=16\ ft$

To find out the height of the triangle Apply the Pythagorean Theorem

$10^2=(16/2)^2+h^2$

solve for h

$100=64+h^2$

$h^2=100-64$

$h^2=36$

$h=6\ ft$

<em>Find the area of triangle</em>

$A=\frac{1}{2}(16)(6)$

$A=48\ ft^2$

step 2

Find the area of rectangle

The area of rectangle is equal to

$A=LW$

we have

$L=16\ ft\\W=2\ ft$

substitute

$A=(16)(2)=32\ ft^2$

step 3

Find the area of the figure

Adds the areas

$A=48+32=80\ ft^2$

Greeley [361]

Step-by-step explanation:

It's B. $g(x)=\frac{1}{5} x^2$ . Options A and C are both horizontal shifts and option D would only make the graph steeper, not wider.

Therefore, the answer is B.

Answer:

B. $g(x)=\frac{1}{5}x^2$
