The z-score associated with 14.3 is 0.84.  0.2995 of the population is between 12.2 and 14.3.  0.1894 of the population is less than 10.0.

The formula for a z-score is

z=(X-μ)/σ

With our data, we have:
z=(14.3-12.2)/2.5=0.84

The z-score associated with the mean is 0.5.  To find the proportion of the population between the mean and 14.3, subtract 0.7995 (the proportion of population below the z-score of 0.84, using http://www.z-table.com) and 0.5:

0.7995 - 0.5 = 0.2995.

The z-score for 10.0 is

(10.0-12.2)/2.5 = -0.88.  The proportion of the population less than this is 0.1894.

A cardboard sheet is cut in the shape of a triangle, with vertices at (0,0), (20,0), and (3,4) units. the thickness of the sheet
kenny6666 [7]
This problem can be solved in two ways, the long way, or the short way.

1. The long way
We know that the base of the triangle is along the x-axis, and the length of the base is 20.
The centre of mass is located at 2/3 of the distance from vertex (3,4) along the median, which cuts the base at (10,0).
Therefore the centre of mass is located at
x=3+(10-3)*2/3=23/3
y=4/3

2. The short way
It turns out that the centre of mass of a triangle sheet is located at the mean of the coordinates of the three vertices, i.e.
CG=((0+20+3)/3, (0+0+4)/3)=(23/3, 4/3)  as before.

Suppose we want to choose 2 letters, without replacement, from the 4 letters A, B, C, and D.
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Letters can be chosen in 12 different ways, if order matters, or 6 different ways, if order doesn't matter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we want to choose 2 letters, without replacement, from the 4 letters A, B, C, and D, to determine in how many ways can this be done, if the order of the choices matters, and in how many ways can this be done, if the order of the choices does not matter, the following calculations must be performed:

If order matters =

 

(4 x 3 x 2 x 1) / 2 = X

24/2 = X

12 = X

If the order doesn't matter =

12/2 = X

6 = X

Therefore, letters can be chosen in 12 different ways, if order matters, or 6 different ways, if order doesn't matter.

Py+7=6y+q<br> what is the answer for this question (linear equations with unknown coefficients)?
Temka [501]
Assuming your solving for y:
py+7=6y+q
-6y -7 -6y -7
(p-6)y = q-7
divide both sides by p-6
y=(q-7)/(p-6)
