Your answer will be 38 because when we add 14 2 times then we get 28 and when we subtract 14 we get 14 and when we add 14 we get 42. M

A company manufactures televisions. The average weight of the televisions is 5 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.1 pound. As

Semenov [28]

Answer:

$0.2564\text{ pounds}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The 90th percentile of a normally distributed curve occurs at 1.282 standard deviations. Similarly, the 10th percentile of a normally distributed curve occurs at -1.282 standard deviations.

To find the $X$ percentile for the television weights, use the formula:

$X=\mu +k\sigma$ , where $\mu$ is the average of the set, $k$ is some constant relevant to the percentile you're finding, and $\sigma$ is one standard deviation.

As I mentioned previously, 90th percentile occurs at 1.282 standard deviations. The average of the set and one standard deviation is already given. Substitute $\mu=5$ , $k=1.282$ , and $\sigma=0.1$ :

$X=5+(1.282)(0.1)=5.1282$

Therefore, the 90th percentile weight is 5.1282 pounds.

Repeat the process for calculating the 10th percentile weight:

$X=5+(-1.282)(0.1)=4.8718$

The difference between these two weights is $5.1282-4.8718=\boxed{0.2564\text{ pounds}}$ .

Ian has 12.2 ounce bottle of ketchip. He uses 1/20 of the ketchup every time he has a buffalo burger How many ounces of ketchup

tatiyna

If Ian uses 1/20 of the ketchup 4 times, this is equal to 4/20, or $\frac{4}{20}$ .

$\frac{4}{20}$ can be simplified to $\frac{1}{5}$ , which means we need to work out $\frac{1}{5}$ of 12.2

$\frac{1}{5}$ is equivalent to 20%, which as a decimal is 0.2

0.2 x 12.2 = 2.44 - however, this is how much he has used, and we need to figure out how much is left.

12.2 - 2.44 = 9.76

So, Ian has 9.76 oz remaining :)

What is the last operation to be performed when finding the value of this expression?

MArishka [77]

To find out the last operation, we must solve the entire problem.

We are given:

$\frac{5+(-8)}{-3+(-9)(-6)}$

Let's simplify the signs so they don't clutter our equation.

$\frac{5-8}{-3+(-9)(-6)}$

We always need to be sure to use PEMDAS. Since there is no expression to solve in parenthesis and no exponents are present, we will move on to multiplication. We can multiply -9 and -6 in the denominator. When we do that, we get:

$\frac{5-8}{-3+54}$

Next, all you need to do is combine like terms in the numerator and the denominator.

$\frac{-3}{51}$

Simplify.

$-\frac{1}{17}$

To answer the question, the last operation to be performed when finding the value would be division.
