Answer:

(A)12-19

Step-by-step explanation:

To construct a frequency distribution, we follow the steps below.

1. Find the largest and smallest values.

91 and 12 respectively

Compute the Range = Maximum - Minimum=91-12=79

2. Determine the number of classes desired.

In this case, we desire 10 classes

3. Next, we find the class width by dividing the range by the number of classes and rounding up.

79÷10 = 7.9

Rounded Up, Class Width=8

4. Pick a suitable starting point less than or equal to the minimum value.

Since our minimum value is 12, we pick a class starting with 12 and give a class width of 8.

Therefore the upper and lower limits of the first class is given as:

12-19.

Melanie eats 1.5 pounds of cereal each week. Which model below best represents the number of pounds of cereal she eats in .5 wee
Katena32 [7]
For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.
 We have then:
 x: number of weeks
 y: amount of cereal that Melanie eats
 We now write the function that models the problem:
 y = 1.5x

 Then, for 5 weeks we have:
 y = 1.5 (5)

y = 7.5 pounds
 Answer:
 
A model that best represents the number of pounds of cereal she eats is:
 
y = 1.5x

 For 5 weeks we have:
 
y = 7.5 pounds

A line is defined by the equation y = 2/3 x - 6 The line passes through a point whose y-coordinate is 0. What is the x-coordinat
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation of the line, and let y = 0. Then solve for x.

y = 2/3 x - 6

Let y = 0:

0 = 2/3 x - 6

Add 6 to both sides.

6 = 2/3 x

Multiply both sides by 3/2.

3/2 * 6 = x

x = 9

What is the solution set of the quadratic inequality f(x) greater than or equal to 0
stellarik [79]

ANSWER

{x | x \in \: R}

EXPLANATION

From the graph, the given quadratic inequality is

{(x + 3)}^{2}  \geqslant 0

We can see that the corresponding quadratic function is a perfect square.

Since the graph opens upwards and it is always above the x-axis, any real number you plug into the inequality, the result is greater than or equal to zero.

Hence the solution set is

{x | x \in \: R}

The correct answer is A

In college​ basketball, a shot made from beyond a designated arc radiating about 20 ft from the basket is worth three points ins
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

a) By the Central Limit Theorem, the distribution would be approximately normal, with mean \mu = 0.45 and standard deviation s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.45*0.55}{100}} = 0.0497

b) 4.02 standard deviations below the mean.

c) Making 25 or less shots has a pvalue of -4.02. Z-scores lower than -2 are considered surprising, so yes, it would be surprising for him to make only 25 of these shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we are going to need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

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

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For proportions, we have that the mean is \mu = p and the standard deviation is s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

p = 0.45, n = 100

a)By the Central Limit Theorem, the distribution would be approximately normal, with mean \mu = 0.45 and standard deviation s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.45*0.55}{100}} = 0.0497

b)This is Z when X = 0.25.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{0.25 – 0.45}{0.0497}

Z = -4.02

4.02 standard deviations below the mean.

c) Making 25 or less shots has a pvalue of -4.02. Z-scores lower than -2 are considered

surprising, so yes, it would be surprising for him to make only 25 of these shots.
