Answer:

Option B) 0.0013

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 1000 hours

Standard Deviation, σ = 50 hours

We are given that the distribution of life of bulb is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

P(bulb would last longer than 1150 hours)

$P( x > 1150) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{1150 - 1000}{50}) = P(z > 3)$

$= 1 - P(z \leq 3)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x > 1150) = 1 - 0.9987 = 0.0013$

0.0013 is the probability that a randomly selected bulb would last longer than 1150 hours.

Thus, the correct answer is

Option B) 0.0013

horrorfan [7]

Answer: The price of each gift is $5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount = $300

Divided into equally among 5 fourth grade teachers.

so, Amount each fourth grade teacher would be

$\dfrac{300}{5}=\$60$

Since Number of hits that need to buy = 12

Each cost the same amount.

So, Price of each gift would be

$\dfrac{60}{12}=\$5$

Hence, the price of each gift is $5.

What are like terms? How do you combine them? Can you give an example?

yan [13]

Like terms are when numbers with and without variables can be combined. ex: 4x+6-8x+=32
you would first combine 4x and -8x because they are the same.

You want to get from a point A on the straight shore of the beach to a buoy which is 54 meters out in the water from a point B o

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

$x =\dfrac{45 \sqrt{6}}{ 2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

The diagrammatic interpretation of what the question is all about can be seen in the diagram attached below.

Now, let V(x) be the time needed for the runner to reach the buoy;

∴ We can say that,

$\mathtt{V(x) = \dfrac{70-x}{7}+\dfrac{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}{5}}$

In order to estimate the point along the shore, x meters from B, the runner should stop running and start swimming if he want to reach the buoy in the least time possible, then we need to differentiate the function of V(x) and relate it to zero.

i.e

The differential of V(x) = V'(x) =0

= $\dfrac{d}{dx}\begin {bmatrix} \dfrac{70-x}{7} + \dfrac{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}{5} \end {bmatrix}= 0$

$-\dfrac{1}{7}+ \dfrac{1}{5}\times \dfrac{x}{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}=0$

$\dfrac{1}{5}\times \dfrac{x}{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}= \dfrac{1}{7}$

$\dfrac{5x}{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}= \dfrac{1}{7}$

$\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}= \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{7}{5}}$

$\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}= \dfrac{5}{7}$

squaring both sides; we get

$\dfrac{x^2}{54^2+x^2}= \dfrac{5^2}{7^2}$

$\dfrac{x^2}{54^2+x^2}= \dfrac{25}{49}$

By cross multiplying; we get

$49x^2 = 25(54^2+x^2)$

$49x^2 = 25 \times 54^2+ 25x^2$

$49x^2-25x^2 = 25 \times 54^2$

$24x^2 = 25 \times 54^2$

$x^2 = \dfrac{25 \times 54^2}{24}$

$x =\sqrt{ \dfrac{25 \times 54^2}{24}}$

$x =\dfrac{5 \times 54}{\sqrt{24}}$

$x =\dfrac{270}{\sqrt{4 \times 6}}$

$x =\dfrac{45 \times 6}{ 2 \sqrt{ 6}}$

$x =\dfrac{45 \sqrt{6}}{ 2}$

If point A is located at (-7,5) and is rotated around 270 clockwise about the origin, then point A' is located at...

jonny [76]

Answer:

B.(-5,-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the rule of rotation if you were to have a 270* clockwise you would first switch the x and y values. Ex: (-7,5) -> (5,-7). next you would make the original y coordinate a negative. (5,-7) -> (-5,-7).
