Let y- 2t+ 5 be a linear function representing the distance from home for an ant tminutes after starting out from a location nea

r its home. What does the number 5 represent in this function?

The 5 represents the starting distance from home. In other words, when t = 0, the value of y is y = 5. Replacing t with 0 leads to this y value. This is the y intercept. So at time 0 minutes, the ant is 5 units from home. Replace "units" with whatever units you happen to be using.

Write a division equation that has a solution of 12. Prove that your equation has a solution of 12 using algebraic methods.
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The required equation is \frac{y}{6} =2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Write a division equation that has a solution of 12.

The required division equation is shown below:

\frac{y}{6} =2

Solve the above equation a shown.

\frac{y}{6}\times 6=2\times 6

y=12

Now check this with algebraic method.

The required tape diagram is shown below:

\frac{12}{6} =2

2=2

Which is true, Hence 12 is the correct answer.

In a normally distributed data set a mean of 55 where 99.7% of the data fall between 47.5 and 62.5, what would be the standard d
NeX [460]

Given that normally distributed data set has a mean of 55 and 99.7% of data fall between 47.5 and 62.5.

Let s be the standard deviation of data set.

Since 99.7% data fall within 3 standard deviations of mean, z-value for 47.5 and 62.5 has an absolute value of 3.

That is |z|=3

But z= \frac{x-mean}{standard deviation}

Let us plugin x=47.5 and mean =55 and equate it to 3.

That is |\frac{47.5-55}{s}|  = 3

             |\frac{-7.5}{s} | =3

Since x is always positive ( being standard deviation), |\frac{-7.5}{s} | = \frac{|-7.5|}{s} = \frac{7.5}{s}

Hence  \frac{7.5}{s}= 3

             s=\frac{7.5}{3}  = 2.5

We will get same value with 62.5 as well.

Hence standard deviation of data set is 2.5.
