Answer: 10 m/s^2
the formula for acceleration is a = f/m
100/10 = 10
Anything between the decimal and last non-zero digit
so 00025 are significant
the 0 in front is insignificant because it could be
00000.00025
zeroes after the 25 don't matter becasue it could be
0.000250000000 and it wouldn't change
the sig figs are 00025
To solve for proportion we make use of the z statistic.
The procedure is to solve for the value of the z score and then locate for the
proportion using the standard distribution tables. The formula for z score is:
z = (X – μ) / σ
where X is the sample value, μ is the mean value and σ is
the standard deviation
when X = 70
z1 = (70 – 100) / 15 = -2
Using the standard distribution tables, proportion is P1
= 0.0228
when X = 130
z2 = (130 – 100) /15 = 2
Using the standard distribution tables, proportion is P2
= 0.9772
Therefore the proportion between X of 70 and 130 is:
P (70<X<130) = P2 – P1
P (70<X<130) = 0.9772 - 0.0228
P (70<X<130) = 0.9544
Therefore 0.9544 or 95.44% of the test takers scored
between 70 and 130.
For finding the value of b, we must consider that Line MN passes through points M(4, 3) and N(7, 12). With this condition y = mx + b, can be written 3=4m+ b (because line passes through M(4,3) ) and 12=7m+b, b ( because line passes through M(7,12)).
We have a system of equation
4m+ b=3
7m+b=12
For solving this, 4m+b- (7m+b)= 3-12, it is equivalent to -3m= -9 and then m=3, if m=3 so
4x3 +b =3 implies b= 3 -12= -9, so the value of b= -9
