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}

2t-7-5t=11 what is the answer
Verizon [17]
<span>2t-7-5t=11

Start by combing like terms:

2-5t=-3t  

Now we have: 

-3t-7=11  

Add 7 to both sides

-3t=18

To isolate t we divide both sides by -3 

Final answer: 
t=-6 </span>

Answer:

x= 3.096

Step-by-step explanation:

divide both sides by 5: 3^(x-1)= 10

then take the log to get log_3 (10) = x-1 = 2.096

x= 3.096

A bag contains 3 red, 4 blue, and 6 yellow marbles. One marble is selected at a time, and once a marble is selected, it is not r
astraxan [27]

The probability of choosing two yellow marbles = 5/26

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given

Total number of marbles in the bag = 13 marbles

Number of yellow marbles = 6.

We choose 2 marbles from the bag without replacing and need to determine the probability that both are yellow.

Step 2 :

Probability of finding yellow marble in the first try = Number of yellow marbles / Total number of marbles = \frac{6}{13}

Once the yellow marble is selected we have 5 yellow marbles among 12 remaining marbles in the bag.

Probability of finding yellow marble in the second try = Number of yellow marbles / Total number of marbles = \frac{5}{12}

Step 3:

P(yellow in first 2 tries) = P(yellow in first try) * P(yellow in second try)

P(yellow in first 2 tries) = \frac{6}{13} * \frac{5}{12} = \frac{5}{26}

Step 4:

Answer:

The probability of choosing two yellow marbles = 5/26
