Answer:
a. z-score = -1.2
b. The age 23 years old is -1.2 standard deviations below the mean
c. The age is not unusual
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Transformation to z-score
Mathematically;
z-score = (x - μ)/σ
where σ and μ are the standard deviation and the mean respectively.
From the question, x = 23, μ = 27.2 and σ = 3.5
Let’s put these into the equation;
z-score = (23-27.2)/3.5 = -1.2
b. Interpretation of result
The interpretation is that 23 years old is -1.2 standard deviations below the mean
c. Determination
The age is not unusual. This is because any z-value below -2 or above 2 is considered unusual
-1.2 is above -2 and thus it is not unusual
Answer:
- (b) Her scale model drawing will not fit on a piece of paper that is 8.5 inches by 7 inches because the dimensions are not proportional to the scale.
Explanation:
(a) What is the length of the garden in her model? Show your work, including your proportion
<u>1. Scale</u>:
- model length / real length = 1 inch / 2 feet
<u>2. Proportion</u>:
Naming x the model length:
- 1 inch / 2 feet = x / 6 feet
Cross multiply:
- 1 inch × 6 feet = 2 feet × x
Divide both sides by x:
- x = 1 inch × 6 feet / 2 feet = 3 inch.
Answer: 3 inches
(b) If the width is 5 inches for the scale model and the scale is still 1 inch to 2 feet, will her scale model drawing fit on a piece of paper that is 8.5 inches by 7 inches? Why or why not?
Both the width and the length must use the same scale, thus the corresponding sides of the scale model and the drawing must be proportional.
In the model the ratio of the length to the width is 3 inch / 5 inch
In the paper the ratio of the length to the width is 8.5 inch / 7 inch
Hence, you can see that in the model the length (mumerator of the fraction) is less than the width (denominator) while in the paper it is the opposite. Bieng the two ratios different, they are not proportional, and you conclude that her scale model drawing will not fit on a piece of paper that is 8.5 inches by 7 inches.
Answer:
1. b > -2
2. x <= 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1:
-2(b + 5) < -6
Divide both sides by -2. Remember to change the inequality sign.
b + 5 > 3
Subtract 5 from both sides.
b > -2
Question 2:
-(x - 10) >= 7
Divide both sides by -1. Remember to change the inequality sign.
x - 10 <= -7
Add 10 to both sides.
x <= 3
Answer:
Minimum
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is a quadratic function meaning the the shape is a parabola. The sign of x^2 is + so the graph open upward. Thus the vertex is the minimum point on the graph.
I believe the answer would be A. 2x-y=6 :)
