Answer:

you will need 5/8 sticks of butter for 5 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

You need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 cookies you bake. How many sticks of butter for 5 cookies

To solve this, you simply need to use proportion;

3 sticks = 24 cookies

x = 5 cookies

cross multiply

24 × x = 3 × 5

24x = 15

Divide both-side of the equation by 24 in order to get the value of x.

24x/24 = 15/24

( on the left-hand side of the equation, 24 at the numerator will cancel-out the 24 at the denominator and we will be left with just x, while on the right- hand-side of the equation, 15 will be divided by 24)

x = 15/24

(3 can divide both 15 and 24, so we will reduce 15 and 24 to its lowest term by dividing the two numbers by three).

x = 5/8

Therefore, 5/8 stick of butter is needed for 5 cookies

For the graphed function f(x) = -(5)* - 3 + 2, calculate the average rate of change from x = 3 to x = 4.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change from x=a to x=b of f(x) is $\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

The given function is $f(x)=-5^{x-3}+2$ .

$f(4)=-5^{4-3}+2=-3$ .

$f(4)=-5^{3-3}+2=1$ .

The average rate of change from x=3 to x=4 is given by:

$\frac{f(4)-f(3)}{4-3}$

$\frac{-3-1}{4-3}=-4$

A rental car company has noticed that the distribution of the number of miles customers put on rental cars per day is skewed to

kodGreya [7K]

Using the Central Limit Theorem, the correct option is:

--------------------------

The Central Limit Theorem states that, for a normally distributed variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means of size m are approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

The interpretation related to this problem is that the larger the sample size, the smaller the standard deviation.
Thus, among the options, the largest sample is 25, thus, option c will have the smallest standard deviation.
