This is a proportion question.

0.5:40 miles :: 5:x

Translated into division you get 0.5/40 = 5/x          Cross multiply

0.5 x = 40 * 5                   combine the right

0.5x = 200                       divide by 0.5

0.5x/0.5 = 200/0.5          Divide

x = 400

Answer: The two cities are 400 miles apart

The diagram represents two statements: p and q.
suter [353]

Answer:

The Region A represents p

The Region B represents p ∧ q

The Region C represents q

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is as follows :

Given - The diagram represents two statements: p and q.

To find - Which represents regions A, B, and C?

A) p v q

B) p -> q

C) q ^ p

D) q -> p​

Solution -

From the figure, we can see that,

The Region A represents p

The Region B represents p ∧ q

The Region C represents q

The truth table is as follows :

p         q        p ∧ q

T         T           T

T          F           F

F          T           F

F           F          F

A set of exam scores is normally distributed and has a mean of 80.2 and a standard deviation of 11. What is the probability that
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

93.32% probability that a randomly selected score will be greater than 63.7.

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.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 80.2, \sigma = 11

What is the probability that a randomly selected score will be greater than 63.7.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 63.7. So

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

Z = \frac{63.7 - 80.2}{11}

Z = -1.5

Z = -1.5 has a pvalue of 0.0668

1 - 0.0668 = 0.9332

93.32% probability that a randomly selected score will be greater than 63.7.

FIND THE SLOPE <br> please explain me how to do it
natka813 [3]

Answer:

slope = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 3) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table

m = \frac{3-7}{0+4} = \frac{-4}{4} = - 1
