Answer:

\begin{tabular}{c|ccccc}{$x$&10&12&16&17&20&z&-1.397&-0.839&0.2795&0.559&1.397&\end{tabular}

Step-by-step explanation:

z-score is denoted by:

z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

here,

\mu: mean

\sigma: standard deviation (or the square root of the variance)

so first we need to find the means of our sample:

\mu=\dfrac{10+20+12+17+16}{5}\\\mu = 15\\

Now to find the standard deviation we first need to find the variance of the sample. The variance is the sum of the squares of the differences of each value from the mean.

\sigma^2 = \dfrac{(10-15)^2+(20-15)^2+(12-15)^2+(17-15)^2+(16-15)^2}{5}\\\sigma^2 = 12.8

the standard derviation is simply the square root of the variance!

\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2} \\\sigma = \sqrt{12.8} \\\sigma = 3.5778

Now that we all the values for our z-score formula. we can plug it in!

z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

z=\dfrac{x-15}{3.5778}

Finally we'll use each value in place of x from our sample into the formula to find the z-score of each value.

z=\dfrac{10-15}{3.5778} = -1.397

z=\dfrac{20-15}{3.5778} = 1.397

z=\dfrac{12-15}{3.5778} = -0.839

z=\dfrac{17-15}{3.5778} = 0.559

z=\dfrac{16-15}{3.5778} = 0.2795

We can even display the z-scores in a table: (the x-values are in ascending order)

\begin{tabular}{c|ccccc}{$x$&10&12&16&17&20&z&-1.397&-0.839&0.2795&0.559&1.397&\end{tabular}

What is 6 divided by 7/9
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

54/7

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Use the KCF method - Keep, Change, Flip
  2. 6 divided by 7/9 is just 6/1 divided by 7/9
  3. You can keep 6/1 as the way it is
  4. Next, you change the sign from division to multiplication
  5. Lastly, you flip 7/9 to 9/7
  6. It will now change from 6 divided by 7/9 to 6/1 x 9/7
  7. You now multiple 9 x 6 which is 54 and divide by 7
  8. You cannot simplify further so the answer is 54/7

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ CED and ∠ AED are adjacent angles and sum to 180° , then

∠ CED + 122° = 180° ( subtract 122° from both sides )

∠ CED = 58°
