George placed the numbers -1/2 , 8/9 , 0.2 and on the numberline . Which of the numbers is furthest from zero ?

1 answer:

7 0

Furthest from 0, so I am going to take the absolute value of these numbers. The absolute value will tell us how far away from 0 these numbers are.
|-1/2| = |- 0.5| = 0.5
|8/9| = |0.88| = 0.88
|0.2| = 0.2

so the number furthest from 0 is 8/9

Many states assess skills of their students in various grades. One program that is available for this purpose is the NAEP. One o

Hoochie [10]

Solution :

Given :

National mean score of the reading test that is conducted the NAEP = 288

Standard deviation of the score = 38

Therefore, P(X > x) = 0.25

P (Z > $\frac{x-288}{38}$ = 0.674)

$\frac{x-288}{38} = 0.674$

$x=288+(38 \times 0.674)$

x = 326.67

Therefore, the highest score that is needed for the students to be in the top of 25 percent among the students those who take the exam.

When x increases from a to a + 2, y increases by a difference of 8. For which functions is this statement true?

lord [1]

Answer:

That would be Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets look at y = 4x + 2:-

Let x = a then y = 4a + 2

Now if x in creases to a +2, y = 4(a +2) + 2 = 4a + 8 + 2

= 4a + 10.

(4a + 10) - (4a + 2) = 8 , so this is the required expression, y = 4x + 2.
