Answer:

The value of the expression is - 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2x +10) - (-6x + 5y + 12) + (x +8y - 16)=

-2x+10+6x-5y-12+x+8y-16=

(-2x+6x+x)+(-5y+8y)+(10-12-16)=

5x+3y-18

if x=5 and y=-4 then

5*5+3*(-4)-18=25-12-18=25-30=-5

Part A: Explain why we do not measure the rate at which water flows out through a shower head in cubic meters per second? In you

a_sh-v [17]

We have that the stream of water is coming out in small quantities; at most liters at a time since the stream has a width of around 10cm at most times. Hence, cubic meters per second is too large a unit to measure the small quantity of water going through the shower.
We have that we can calculate the rate if we know the surface area of the flow and the speed of the water. If one multiplies those 2 together, one gets the rate because the speed of water is pretty much how much a front of water is moving per second; if you multiply it by its surface area, you get how much a volume of water is moving.

The regular price of a watch is $32.25. During a sale, the watch was marked 16% off. What was the price of the watch during the

Serga [27]

Answer:

$ 27.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The regular price of the watch = $ 32.25,

The marked off percentage or discount percentage, in the sale = 16%,

So, the amount of marked off = 16% of regular price

= 16% of 32.25

= 0.16 × 32.25

= $ 5.16

Hence, the the price of the watch during the sale = Regular price - marked off

= $ 32.25 - $ 5.16

= $ 27.09

Last option is correct.

Richard receives a 3.5% commission for selling cleaning supplies. What is his commission on sales of $122,591?

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

We have to find 3.5% $122,591

So,

122591*3.5/100=4,290.685

So, the commission will be $4,290.685

The overhead reach distances of adult females are normally distributed with a mean of 197.5 cm197.5 cm and a standard deviation

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

a) 5.37% probability that an individual distance is greater than 210.9 cm

b) 75.80% probability that the mean for 15 randomly selected distances is greater than 196.00 cm.

c) Because the underlying distribution is normal. We only have to verify the sample size if the underlying population is not normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we 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.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 197.5, \sigma = 8.3$

a. Find the probability that an individual distance is greater than 210.9 cm

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 210.9. So

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

$Z = \frac{210.9 - 197.5}{8.3}$

$Z = 1.61$

$Z = 1.61$ has a pvalue of 0.9463.

1 - 0.9463 = 0.0537

5.37% probability that an individual distance is greater than 210.9 cm.

b. Find the probability that the mean for 15 randomly selected distances is greater than 196.00 cm.

Now $n = 15, s = \frac{8.3}{\sqrt{15}} = 2.14$

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 196. Then

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{196 - 197.5}{2.14}$

$Z = -0.7$

$Z = -0.7$ has a pvalue of 0.2420.

1 - 0.2420 = 0.7580

75.80% probability that the mean for 15 randomly selected distances is greater than 196.00 cm.

c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part (b), even though the sample size does not exceed 30?

The underlying distribution(overhead reach distances of adult females) is normal, which means that the sample size requirement(being at least 30) does not apply.
