Answer:

f(-7) = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

If f(x) = -5x - 1, then . . .

f(x) = -5x - 1

f(-7) = -5(-7) - 1

= 35 - 1

= 34

. . . because in f(-7), the (-7) is the x-value you're supposed to use to find the value of the function.

How are the greater than, less than, and equal to symbols useful?

Snowcat [4.5K]

They are called relation symbols
they tell how something relates to something else

greater than tells ou that the the result must be more than, but not eqal to that numberd so example, we have to have something that flys higher than that bridge (100ft) but it cannot fly 100 or else it will crash

less than tells you that you must be less than, but not euqal to. example
this thing must be less than 7 feet tall to fit under the doorway, it cannot be 7 feet or else it wont fit

equal to is an exact amount, nothing more or less
we have to have a screw that is this big, nothing more or less

less and greater than is nice since if you found a solution and you wanted to notate it, example
if the naswer is any number less than 10, it would be nicer to write x<10 instead of listing all numbers less than 10 since they could get very close example 9.999999999 forever
greater is the same, any number bigger than 30, you woul dhave to include 30.0000000001 and smaller which is hard, but with the x>30, it is easier

the equals just shows equality, this is equal to this, period

5) Two machines M1, M2 are used to manufacture resistors with a design

Basile [38]

Answer:

Since M1 has the higher probability of being in the desired range, we choose M1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value 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. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Two machines M1, M2 are used to manufacture resistors with a design specification of 1000 ohm with 10% tolerance.

So we need the machines to be within 1000 - 0.1*1000 = 900 ohms and 1000 + 0.1*1000 = 1100 ohms.

For each machine, we need to find the probabilty of the machine being in this range. We choose the one with the higher probability.

M1:

Resistors of M1 are found to follow normal distribution with mean 1050 ohm and standard deviation of 100 ohm. This means that $\mu = 1050, \sigma = 100$

The probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 1100 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 900. So

X = 1100

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{1100 - 1050}{100}$

$Z = 0.5$

$Z = 0.5$ has a pvalue of 0.6915.

X = 900

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{900 - 1050}{100}$

$Z = -1.5$

$Z = -1.5$ has a pvalue of 0.0668

0.6915 - 0.0668 = 0.6247.

M1 has a 62.47% probability of being in the desired range.

M2:

M2 are found to follow normal distribution with mean 1000 ohm and standard deviation of 120 ohm. This means that $\mu = 1000, \sigma = 120$

X = 1100

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{1100 - 1000}{120}$

$Z = 0.83$

$Z = 0.83$ has a pvalue of 0.7967.

X = 900

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{900 - 1000}{120}$

$Z = -0.83$

$Z = -0.83$ has a pvalue of 0.2033

0.7967 - 0.2033 = 0.5934

M2 has a 59.34% probability of being in the desired range.

Since M1 has the higher probability of being in the desired range, we choose M1.

In Crestview Middle School, 12 out of 16 students are right handed. If there are 400 students in the school, how many are right

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

the answer is 300

Step-by-step explanation

there are 16 people so we divide that by the total number of students

400 divided by 16 = 25

since there are 12 right handed in each group we multpily it by 12

25 x 12 = 300

and theres your answer!

Lian is deciding which of two gyms to join. Each gym charges a monthly rate plus a one-time membership fee. Lian correctly wrote

lapo4ka [179]

The resulting equation 75 = 75 is an identity; this tells that the two equations of the system are equivalent, this is they both represent the same function. So, Lian can conclude that (option c) both gyms charge the same monthly rate and the same membership fee<span>.</span>
