Answer:

0.0228

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

mean (μ) = 75, Standard deviation (σ) = 3.5

The z score is a score used in statistics to measure by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. If the z score is positive, it means that the raw sore is above the mean and if the z score is negative then the raw score is below the mean. The z score is given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\ \\For\ a\ sample \ n, the\ z\ score\ is:\\ \\z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }

For x > 76 and a sample (n) = 49:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }\\\\z=\frac{76-75}{\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{49} } }=2

From the normal distribution table, the probability that the average score of the 49 players exceeded 76 = P(x > 76) = P(z > 2) = 1 - P(z < 2) = 1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228

The length.of a hypotenuse of a right triangle is 32feet and the length of one of the lrgs is 18 feet. what is the length, to th
gayaneshka [121]

Use Pythagorean's Theorem to solve for the missing leg length.

32^2-18^2=a^2

with a being the length of the missing leg. Simplifying we have

1024-324=a^2

and

a^2=700. If we are told to express our answer to the nearest tenth of an inch, then we are simply plugging that into our calculator to get 26.45 or, rounded correctly, 26.5

Suppose ten students in a class are to be grouped into teams. (a) If each team has two students, how many ways are there to form
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

(a) There are 113,400 ways

(b) There are 138,600 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of ways to from k groups of n1, n2, ... and nk elements from a group of n elements is calculated using the following equation:

\frac{n!}{n1!*n2!*...*nk!}

Where n is equal to:

n=n1+n2+...+nk

If each team has two students, we can form 5 groups with 2 students each one. Then, k is equal to 5, n is equal to 10 and n1, n2, n3, n4 and n5 are equal to 2. So the number of ways to form teams are:

\frac{10!}{2!*2!*2!*2!*2!}=113,400

For part b, we can form 5 groups with 2 students or 2 groups with 2 students and 2 groups with 3 students. We already know that for the first case there are 113,400 ways to form group, so we need to calculate the number of ways for the second case as:

Replacing k by 4, n by 10, n1 and n2 by 2 and n3 and n4 by 3, we get:

\frac{10!}{2!*2!*3!*3!}=25,200

So, If each team has either two or three students, The number of ways  form teams are:

113,400 + 25,200 = 138,600

Find the twenty-fifth term of an arithmetic sequence if the first term is-1 and the common difference is 5. Write the first thre
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

1). T_{25}=119

2). T_{1}=-23

T_{2}=-23+2=-21

T_{3}=-23+4=-19

Step-by-step explanation:

First term of an arithmetic sequence is (-1) and common difference is 5.

Then we have to find twenty fifth term of this arithmetic sequence.

Since explicit formula of an arithmetic sequence is represented by

T_{n}=a+(n-1)d

Where T_{n} represents nth term of the sequence.

a = first term

n = number of term

and d = common difference

Now we will find 25th term of this sequence.

T_{25}=(-1)+(25-1)5

= (-1) + 120

= 119

Similarly in second part of this question we have to find first three terms of an arithmetic sequence in which

T_{21}=17 and

T_{50}=75

Now from the explicit formula

17 = a + (21 - 1)d

17 = a + 20d   --------(1)

75 = a + (50 - 1)d

75 = a + 49d --------(2)

Now we subtract equation 1 from 2

75 - 17 = 49d - 20d

29d = 58

d = \frac{58}{29}=2

By putting d = 2 in equation 1

17 = a + 20×2

17 = a + 40

a = 17 - 40

a = -23

Therefore, first three terms of this sequence will be

T_{1}=-23

T_{2}=-23+2=-21

T_{3}=-23+4=-19
