Average = sum/count

current count = 4
current sum = 76+92+89+97=354

we need average = 90 = sum/5
so, we need sum = 90*5=450

To get sum 450, he needs to score 450-354=96 on his best test.

Now, (76+92+89+97+96)/5=90

You need to understand that you're solving for the average, which you already know: 90. Since you know the values of the first three exams, and you know what your final value needs to be, just set up the problem like you would any time you're averaging something.
Solving for the average is simple:
Add up all of the exam scores and divide that number by the number of exams you took.
(87 + 88 + 92) / 3 = your average if you didn't count that fourth exam.
Since you know you have that fourth exam, just substitute it into the total value as an unknown, X:
(87 + 88 + 92 + X) / 4 = 90
Now you need to solve for X, the unknown:
87
+
88
+
92
+
X
4
(4) = 90 (4)
Multiplying for four on each side cancels out the fraction.
So now you have:
87 + 88 + 92 + X = 360
This can be simplified as:
267 + X = 360
Negating the 267 on each side will isolate the X value, and give you your final answer:
X = 93
Now that you have an answer, ask yourself, "does it make sense?"
I say that it does, because there were two tests that were below average, and one that was just slightly above average. So, it makes sense that you'd want to have a higher-ish test score on the fourth exam.

Answer:

a) 3.128

b) Yes, it is an outerlier

Step-by-step explanation:

The standardized z-score for a particular sample can be determined via the following expression:

z_i = {x_i -\bar x}/{s}

Where;

\bar x = sample means

s = sample standard deviation

Given data:

the mean shipment thickness (\bar x) = 0.2731 mm

With the standardized deviation (s) = 0.000959 mm

The standardized z-score for a certain shipment with a diameter x_i= 0.2761 mm can be determined via the following previous expression

z_i = {x_i -\bar x}/{s}

z_i = {0.2761-0.2731}/{ 0.000959}

z_i = 3.128

b)

From the standardized z-score

If [z_i < 2]; it typically implies that the data is unusual

If [z_i > 2]; it means that the data value is an outerlier

However, since our z_i > 3 (I.e it is 3.128), we conclude that it is an outerlier.

Which expression is equivalent to sec^2x − 1? a. cot2x b. tan2x c. csc2x d. cos2x
Nesterboy [21]
Sec^2 x - 1 = tan^2x

Proof:
Sec^2x = 1+ tan^2x

1/cos^2x = 1 + sin^2x/cos^2x

<span>1/cos^2x - sin^2x/cos^2x = 1
</span>Using common denominator:
(1-sin^2x)/cos^2x = 1
sin^2x + cos^2 x = 1
cos^2 x = 1 - sin^2x
Substituting : 
cos^2x/<span>cos^2x = 1
</span>1 = 1
Left hand side = right hand side

Christopher’s backyard is shaped like a rectangle with a length of 2x + 5 feet and a width of 4x - 7 feet.
Doss [256]

Answer:

8x² + 6x - 35

Step-by-step explanation:

A = (2x + 5)(4x - 7)

Front: 2x * 4x = <em>8x²</em>

Outside: 2x * (-7) = <em>-14x</em>

Inside: 5 * 4x = <em>20x</em>

Last: 5 * -7 = <em>-35</em>

Add up: <em>8x² - 14x + 20x -35</em>

Simplify: 8x² + 6x - 35
