Answer:

Mean = 78.2

Standard deviation = 5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically z-score;

= (x-mean)/SD

From the question;

12% of test scores were above 85

Thus;

P( x > 85) = 12%

P(x > 85) = 0.12

Now let’s get the z-score that has a probability of 0.12

This can be obtained from the standard normal distribution table and it is = 1.175

Thus;

1.175 = (85 - mean)/SD

let’s call the mean a and the SD b

1.175 = (85-a)/b

1.175b = 85 - a

a = 85 - 1.175b ••••••••(i)

Secondly 8% of scores were below 70

Let’s find the z-score corresponding to this proportion;

We use the standard normal distribution table as usual;

P( x < 70) = 0.08

z-score = -1.405

Thus;

-1.405 =( 70-a)/b

-1.405b = 70-a

a = 70 + 1.405b ••••••(ii)

Equate the two a

70 + 1.405b = 85 - 1.175b

85 -70 = 1.405b + 1.175b

15 = 2.58b

b = 15/2.58

b = 5.81

a = 70 + 1.405b

a = 70 + 1.405(5.81)

a = 78.16

So mean = 78.2 and Standard deviation is 5.8

<h3>Answer: Choice D) </h3>

Work Shown:

(f+g)(x) = f(x)+g(x)\\\\(f+g)(x) = \frac{x-23}{x^2+9x-36}+\frac{1}{x+12}\\\\(f+g)(x) = \frac{x-23}{(x+12)(x-3)}+\frac{1(x-3)}{(x+12)(x-3)}\\\\(f+g)(x) = \frac{x-23+1(x-3)}{(x+12)(x-3)}\\\\(f+g)(x) = \frac{x-23+x-3}{x^2+9x-36}\\\\(f+g)(x) = \frac{2x-26}{x^2+9x-36}\\\\

We must require that x \ne -12 and x \ne 3 to avoid having 0 in the denominator. This is why choice D is the answer.

If postage costs $.54 for the first ounce and $.22 for the each additional ounce, calculate the cost of mailing a 10- ounce enve
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Hence, the total cost of mailing 10 ounces is:

$ 2.52

Step-by-step explanation:

If postage costs $.54 for the first ounce and $.22 for the each additional ounce.

i.e. cost of first ounce=$ 0.54.

Now let x denote the number of ounces after the first ounce,

Hence, the cost of x ounces=$ (0.22×x)=$ 0.22 x

Hence, the cost of mailing (x+1) ounces is: $ (0.54+0.22 x)

Now, we have to find the cost of  mailing a 10- ounce envelope.

i.e. after the first ounce we need 9 more ounces.

Hence, the total cost of mailing is calculated as:

=$ (0.54+0.22\times 9)\\\\=$ (0.54+1.98)\\\\=$ 2.52\\

Hence, cost of mailing 10 ounces is:

$ 2.52

I am stuck on this question it was can you add 4+2x to get 6x
Fed [463]

Answer:

No you can't.

Step-by-step explanation:

4 is an integer, and 2x isn't so you can't add them together. If 4 was 4x or 2x was 2, then you'd get 6, but you can't add them. Hope this helps :)
