he candies is approximately normally distributed with mean 720 milligrams (mg).If the manager’s belief is correct, which of the following intervals of weights will contain the largest proportion of the candies in the distribution of weights?
a) 740 mg to 780 mgb) 700 mg to 740 mgc) 680 mg to 720 mgd) 660 mg to 720 mge) 620 mg to 660 mg

Answer:

b) 700 mg to 740 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is the sum of all the samples divided by the quantity of the samples, so a mean is a number between the maximum and the minimum sample. In this case, 720 mg must be in the interval, so letter<em> a</em> and<em> e </em>are eliminated.

The mean also represents the proportion of the samples, because the samples intend to be close to the mean. So, if 720 mg is the maximum or the minimum sample weight, it means that there are many samples close to it, and the proportion of the distribution will be small. So, letter <em>c</em> and <em>d</em> can't be the answer.

So, the largest proportion of weights is given in letter b, the interval of weights must be 700 mg to 740 mg.

Solve for x -9&lt;4x+3&lt;27 enter your answer as one inequality in the box
ludmilkaskok [199]

If a< c< b then a<c and c<b

Separate the equation into 2 separate ones and solve them:

X-9 < 4x +3

Subtract 3 from both sides:

X-12 < 4x

Subtract x from both sides:

-12< 3x

Divide both sides by 3:

X > -4

4x+3 < 27

Subtract 3 from both sides

4x < 24

Divide both sides by 4

X <6

Combine to get one inequality:

-4<x<6

Which of the expressions below can be factored using the difference of<br> squares method?
zlopas [31]

Answer:

<em>The second choice is correct. It can be factored as:</em>

9x^2-16y^2=(3x-4y)(3x+4y)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The Difference of Squares Method for Factoring</u>

The expression:

a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)

Is a widely used method to factor binomials that are expressed as the subtraction of two perfect squares.

The condition for a binomial to be factored by using this method is that both terms must have an exact square root and they must be subtracted.

The last two choices are not valid because they are not a subtraction but an addition.

The first choice is not valid because none of the terms is a perfect square.

The second choice is correct. It can be factored as:

9x^2-16y^2=(3x-4y)(3x+4y)
