Answer:

option (d) 16.6 and 21.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

The mean life for a particular use before they failed = 19.0 hours

The distribution of the lives approximated a normal distribution

The standard deviation of the distribution = 1.2 hours

To find:

The values between which 95.44 percent of the batteries failed

Now,

In Normal distribution, the approximately 95% ( ≈ 95.44% of all values ) falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean

Therefore,

Upper limit = Mean + 2 × standard deviation

⇒ Upper limit = 19.0 + 2 × 1.2 = 21.4

Lower  limit = Mean - 2 × standard deviation

⇒ Lower  limit = 19 - 2 × 1.2 = 16.6

Hence,

the answer is option (d) 16.6 and 21.4

There are 32 students in a class.Nine of those students are women.What percent are men?(round nearest tenth)
Stels [109]
Hey there!
Find out how many men there are by subtracting the number of woman by the total number of students
32-9= 23
23 students are men
To find the percent just simply multiply. *cross multiply
23/32 *100= 71.87
100*23= 2300
2300/32= 17.875

17.875 rounds to 17.9

71.9% are men

Sherman has two sequences . The first sequence is described by the explicit rule f(n) = 15n + 4 and the second sequence is descr
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the explicit function as

f(n) = 15n+4

The first term of the sequence is at when n= 1

f(1) = 15(1)+4

f(1) = 19

a = 19

Common difference d = f(2)-f(1)

f(2) = 15(2)+4

f(2) = 34

d = 34-19

d = 15

Sum of nth term of an AP = n/2{2a+(n-1)d}

S20 = 20/2{2(19)+(20-1)15)

S20 = 10(38+19(15))

S20 = 10(38+285)

S20 = 10(323)

S20 = 3230.

Sum of the 20th term is 3230

For the explicit function

f(n) = 4n+15

f(1) = 4(1)+15

f(1) = 19

a = 19

Common difference d = f(2)-f(1)

f(2) = 4(2)+15

f(2) = 23

d = 23-19

d = 4

Sum of nth term of an AP = n/2{2a+(n-1)d}

S20 = 20/2{2(19)+(20-1)4)

S20 = 10(38+19(4))

S20 = 10(38+76)

S20 = 10(114)

S20 = 1140

Sum of the 20th terms is 1140

Hey! since it’s a 5 sided shape it’s area will be 540° so you add up 108+100+90+120=418
the final angle is 122*
then since angles on a straight line is 180° you minus 122 from 180 and x= 58°
