FACTS:In 2010, the glacier was 1000 meters in length; it had retreated 255 meters in 15 years.Questions:1. Calculate the average

annual rate of retreat of the glacier
Mathematics

Let's represent the given (length, years) as (x, y)

at time 0 year, the glacier is 1000 meters

at time 15 years, the glacier retreated 255 meters and that's 1000 - 255 = 745

so we have the points (0, 1000) and (15, 745)

Using the slope formula :

m=\frac{y_2-y_1_{}}{x_2-x_1}

where m represents the average annual rate of retreat.

m=\frac{745-1000}{15-0}=\frac{-255}{15}=-17

The average annual rate of retreat of the glacier is 17 meters per year

Naily [24]
$370.00 - $40.00 = $330.00
$330.00 - $50.00 = $280.00
$280.00 + $210.00 = $490.00
Ellen now has $490.00 as her new balance.

Answer:

Angle B is 41 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

1) find the supplement of the 113 degree angle; it is 180-113, or 67, degrees.

2) recognizing that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees, add up 67 and 72 degrees, obtaining 139 degrees, and subtract this sum from 180 degrees:

180 degrees - 139 degrees = 41 degrees (answer)

The steps are outlined above; the end result is that <B is 41 degrees.

weekly wages at a certain factory are normally distributed with a mean of $400 and a standard deviation of 50. find the probabil
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

47.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the z-scores:

z = (x − μ) / σ

z₁ = (300 − 400) / 50 = -2

z₂ = (400 − 400) / 50 = 0

300 is 2 standard deviations below the mean, and 400 is 0 standard deviations from the mean.

From the empirical rule, 95% of a normal distribution is between -2 and +2 standard deviations.  Since normal distributions are symmetrical, that means half of that is between -2 and 0 standard deviations.

95% / 2 = 47.5%
