A garden table and a bench cost $654 combined. The garden table costs $46 less than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?

Solve for x. Can somebody help me? I don’t understand how to do this.

The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of days and a standard deviation of days. a. Find the probabilit

Alik [6]

Answer:

a) The probability of a pregnancy lasting X days or longer is given by 1 subtracted by the p-value of $Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$ , in which $\mu$ is the mean and $\sigma$ is the standard deviation.

b) We have to find X when Z has a p-value of $\frac{a}{100}$ , and X is given by: $X = \mu - Z\sigma$ , in which $\mu$ is the mean and $\sigma$ is the standard deviation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

Mean $\mu$ , standard deviation $\sigma$

a. Find the probability of a pregnancy lasting X days or longer.

The probability of a pregnancy lasting X days or longer is given by 1 subtracted by the p-value of $Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$ , in which $\mu$ is the mean and $\sigma$ is the standard deviation.

b. If the length of pregnancy is in the lowest a%, then the baby is premature. Find the length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature.

We have to find X when Z has a p-value of $\frac{a}{100}$ , and X is given by: $X = \mu - Z\sigma$ , in which $\mu$ is the mean and $\sigma$ is the standard deviation.

A block in the shape of a cube has sides that are 2 over 1\2 inches long. what is the volume of the block????

Vlad1618 [11]

A cube has equal sides if they are 2÷ 1/2 each then L×W×H would be (2÷ 1/2)^3. To divide fractions we multiply the reciprocal.

2÷ 1/2 = 2/1 × 2/1 = 4

4×4 = 16×4= 64

answer is V = 64 inches cubed.

Please help me with either one, (all both) I’ve been struggling with this

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

x = 12, x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 legs of the triangle are congruent, both 2x + 7, then

2x + 7 + 2x + 7 + x + 11 = 85 ← equation for perimeter

5x + 25 = 85 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

5x = 60 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 12

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

Opposite sides are congruent, then

2(2x) + 2(5x + 3) = 104 ← distribute and simplify both sides

4x + 10x + 6 = 104

14x + 6 = 104 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

14x = 98 ( divide both sides by 14 )

x = 7

The point C(2,3) is translated along a vector that is parallel to the line y=3x-2. The translation vector has magnitude square r

qaws [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

The translation vector v can be resolved into its x and y components, where x² + y² = 10 (Pythagoras' Theorem) and y = 3x

(parallel to y = 3x - 2, slope = 3).

We have x² + (3x)² = 10,

=> x² + 9x² = 10, 10x² = 10, x = 1 or x = -1.

When x = 1, y = 3. When x = -1, y = -3.

Therefore 2 possible translation vectors

are (1, 3) or (-1, -3).

First new C' = (2 + (1), 3 + (3)) = (3, 6).

Second new C'= (2 + (-1), 3 + (-3)) = (1, 0).

The possible images are (3, 6) and (1, 0).
