Or the past 100 years, the average high temperature on october 1 is 78° with a standard deviation of 5°. what is the probability

that the high temperature on october 1 of next year will be between 73° and 83°?

Answer:

The probability is 0.683

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate this, we shall be needing to calculate the z-scores of both temperatures

mathematically;

z-score = (x-mean)/SD

From the question mean = 78 and SD = 5

For 73

z-score = (73-78)/5 = -5/5 = -1

For 83

z-score = (83-78)/5 = 5/5 = 1

So the probability we want to calculate is within the following range of z-scores;

P(-1 <z <1 )

Mathematically, this is same as ;

P(z<1) - P(z<-1)

Using the normal distribution table;

P(-1<z<1) = 0.68269 which is approximately 0.683

Answer:

this would be B.

Step-by-step explanation:

it crosses the y axis at positive 3. so has to be +3. this leaves b and c, it is a negative slope so it is Y= -2x+3.

8) Find the endpoint Cif M is the midpoint of segment CD and M (2, 4) and D (5,7)

Elenna [48]

Answer:

8. c. (-1, -1)

9. a. (-6, -1)

b. True

Step-by-step Explanation:

8. Given the midpoint M(2, 4), and one endpoint D(5, 7) of segment CD, the coordinate pair of the other endpoint C, can be calculated as follows:

let $D(5, 7) = (x_2, y_2)$

$C(?, ?) = (x_1, y_1)$

$M(2, 4) = (\frac{x_1 + 5}{2}, \frac{y_1 + 7}{2})$

Rewrite the equation to find the coordinates of C

$2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}$ and $4 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}$

Solve for each:

$2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}$

$2*2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}*2$

$4 = x_1 + 5$

$4 - 5 = x_1 + 5 - 5$

$-1 = x_1$

$x_1 = -1$

$4 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}$

$4*2 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}*2$

$8 = y_1 + 7$

$8 - 7 = y_1 + 7 - 7$

$1 = y_1$

$y_1 = 1$

Coordinates of endpoint C is (-1, 1)

9. a.Given segment AB, with midpoint M(-4, -5), and endpoint A(-2, -9), find endpoint B as follows:

let $A(-2, -9) = (x_2, y_2)$

$B(?, ?) = (x_1, y_1)$

$M(-4, -5) = (\frac{x_1 + (-2)}{2}, \frac{y_1 + (-9)}{2})$

$-4 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}$ and $-5 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}$

Solve for each:

$-4 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}$

$-4*2 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}*2$

$-8 = x_1 - 2$

$-8 + 2 = x_1 - 2 + 2$

$-6 = x_1$

$x_1 = -6$

$-5 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}$

$-5*2 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}*2$

$-10 = y_1 - 9$

$-10 + 9 = y_1 - 9 + 9$

$-1 = y_1$

$y_1 = -1$

Coordinates of endpoint B is (-6, -1)

b. The midpoint of a segment, is the middle of the segment. It divides the segment into two equal parts. The answer is TRUE.

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2(l+b)=16

Also it is given that l=2b+2

2(2b+2+b)=16

3b+2=8

b=2metre

l=2(2)+2

l=6metre

Jon has to pay $7.50 admission for the skating rink and $1.50 per hour to rent rollerblades. Write an equation for the cost (y)

Nata [24]

Answer:

y = 7.50 + 1.50x

Step-by-step explanation:

The admission costs $7.50 and after x hours Jon has to pay $1.50*x. Then the cost y in dollars is

y = 7.50 + 1.50x where x is the number of hours.

If you would like to solve the system of equations, you can do this using the following steps:

5p - 3r = 1 /*2
8p + 6r = 4
__________
10p - 6r = 2
<span>8p + 6r = 4
</span>__________
10p - 6r + 8p + 6r = 2 + 4
18p = 6
p = 6/18
p = 1/3

<span>5p - 3r = 1
</span>5 * 1/3 - 3r = 1
5/3 - 3r = 1
5/3 - 1 = 3r
5/3 - 3/3 = 3r
2/3 = 3r
r = 2/9

(p, r) = (1/3, 2/9)

The correct result would be <span>(1/3, 2/9)</span>.
