Scores are {72, 97, 82, x} where x is the unknown fourth score

They add up to 72+97+82+x = x+251

Divide this sum over four because there are four scores we want to average out. We end up with (x+251)/4 = M where M is the mean. Asa wants the mean to be 82, so make M = 82.

We can replace M with 82 and solve for x like so

(x+251)/4 = M

(x+251)/4 = 82

x+251 = 4*82

x+251 = 328

x = 328-251

x = 77

Asa needs a score of 77 on the fourth test so that the mean of the four tests is 82. If she scores higher than 77 on the fourth test, then the mean will be larger than 82.

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

Depending on what your teacher is looking for, the first step is to establish your variable. So you would say "let x = fourth score". However, that seems too easy. So perhaps your teacher is looking for the equation (x+251)/4 = 82 or some variant of it.

What is the value of the right rectangular prism
storchak [24]
Hello!

To find the area of a rectangular prism you do 2(lw + lh + wh)

Put in the values

2(9 * 2 + 9 * 6 + 2 * 6)

2(18 + 54 + 12)

2(84)

2 * 84 = 168

The answer is 168 cubic inches

Hope this helps!

A financial analyst wanted to estimate the mean annual return on mutual funds. A random sample of funds' returns shows an averag
Feliz [49]

A financial analyst wanted to estimate the mean annual return on mutual funds. A random sample of 60 funds' returns shows an average rate of 12%. If the population standard deviation is assumed to be 4%, the 95% confidence interval estimate for the annual return on all mutual funds is

A. 0.037773 to 0.202227

B. 3.7773% to 20.2227%

C. 59.98786% to 61.01214%

D. 51.7773% to 68.2227%

E. 10.988% to 13.012%

Answer: E. 10.988% to 13.012%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Mean x= 12%

Standard deviation r = 4%

Number of samples tested n = 60

Confidence interval is 95%

Z' = t(0.025)= 1.96

Confidence interval = x +/- Z'(r/√n)

= 12% +/- 1.96(4%/√60)

= 12% +/- 0.01214%

Confidence interval= (10.988% to 13.012%)

Please please helpp i will mark brainliest!!! 100 points !! ill mark brainliest if its correct.
Paraphin [41]

Answers and Step-by-step explanations:

1. We need to plug in values of x into the functions f(x) and g(x):

f(2) = 2.5 * 2 - 10.5 = -5.5                         g(2) = 64 * (0.5^2) = 16

f(3) = 2.5 * 3 - 10.5 = -3                            g(3) = 64 * (0.5^3) = 8

f(4) = 2.5 * 4 - 10.5 = -0.5                         g(4) = 64 * (0.5^4) = 4

f(5) = 2.5 * 5 - 10.5 = 2                             g(5) = 64 * (0.5^5) = 2

f(6) = 2.5 * 6 - 10.5 = 4.5                          g(6) = 64 * (0.5^6) = 1

2.

(a) Notice that at 14 on the x-axis, the blue line is above 4. Meanwhile, at 14, the red line is less than 2. Obviously, we can see that if the printed ad revenue was less than 2 and the online ad revenue was greater than 4, that's more than a double, so the lead marketing executive is correct.

(b) The approximate year that the revenues were equal is the place where the lines intersect. It's approximately at Year 7.5.

3.

(a) The Western Beach is clearly decreasing; it is decreasing by 2 ft per year. Meanwhile, the Dunes Beach is clearly increasing; it's increasing by 5 ft per year. (I'm not sure what kinds of "patterns" you're looking for).

(b) Year 11 and 12; this is because here, Western is going from 78 to 76 ft and Dunes is going from 75 to 80, so they'll likely coincide sometime in that time interval.

(c) One thing you can do is to create equations (of the form y = mx + b) for each of the beaches and then set those linear equations equal to each other.
