42% of 100 is 42 so 42% of is half of the first answer, therefore the answer is 21.

42 percent of 50 is 21. 42 percent of 100 would be 42 so just splits that in half. You could also do .42 x 50 to find the answer. 42 percent is equivalent to .42

A survey among freshman at a certain university revealed that the number of hours spent studying before final exams was normally

patriot [66]

Answer: 0.0775

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mean : $\mu = 25$

Standard deviation : $\sigma =15$

Sample size : $n=36$

Since its normal distribution , then the formula to calculate the z-score is given by :-

$z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

For x= 28.2 hours

$z=\dfrac{28.2-25}{\dfrac{15}{\sqrt{36}}}=1.28$

For x= 30 hours

$z=\dfrac{30-25}{\dfrac{15}{\sqrt{36}}}=2$

The P- value = $P(1.28$

$=P(z$

Hence, the probabiliy that the average time spent stydying for the sampe was between 28.2 and 30 hours = 0.0775

What is the average rate of change of f(x) = -x2 + 3x + 6 over the interval –3

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

$\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} =\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{6-(-12)}{3-(-3)} =\frac{18}{6}= 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average rate of change of a function over a given interval, basically you need to find the slope. The mathematical definition of the slope is very similar to the one we use every day. In mathematics, the slope is the relationship between the vertical and horizontal changes between two points on a surface or a line. In this sense, the slope can be found using the following expression:

$Average\hspace{3}rate\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}change=Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}$
