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}

Answer:

x = 3\sqrt{2}

y = 6\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is a 30-60-90 right triangle.

The ratio of the lengths of the sides is:

1 : \sqrt{3} : 2

The order of the sides in the ratio above is

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse

The long leg is sqrt(3) times the length of the short leg.

x \times \sqrt{3} = 3\sqrt{6}

x = \dfrac{3\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{3}}

x = 3 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{6}{3}}

x = 3\sqrt{2}

The hypotenuse is twice the length of the short leg.

y = 2 \times 3\sqrt{2}

y = 6\sqrt{2}

The volume of a cube is V= S^3 where V is the volume and s is the length of one side what is the volume of a cube if the length
sammy [17]

The volume of cube is 1000 cubic feet

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

<em><u>The volume of cube is given by formula:</u></em>

V = s^3

Where,

V is the volume of cube

"s" is the length of one side

<em><u>What is the volume of a cube if the length of a side s is 10 feet</u></em>

Given, s = 10 feet

<em><u>Substitute s = 10 in given formula,</u></em>

V = 10^3\\\\V = 10 \times 10 \times 10\\\\V = 1000

Thus volume of cube is 1000 cubic feet

Find one-eight of the sum of 18 and the product of 6 and 1
4vir4ik [10]

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is to calculate one-eight of the sum of 18 and the product of 6 and 1. This will be:

= 1/8 [18 + (6 × 1)]

= 1/8 [18 + 6]

= 1/8 × 24

= 3

The answer is 3.
