The other person said 3/9. While this is correct, you have to simplify the fraction. Both numbers are divisible by 3... 3/3=1 and 9/3=3. So, the answer would be 1/3.

I think the answer is 3/9 because there is 9 students running but only 3 of them win medals so I think it would be 3/9 or maybe something else

\dfrac12(10x + 20y +10z) = 2 1 ​ (10x+20y+10z)=start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction, left parenthesis, 10, x, plus, 20
iragen [17]

Answer:

5x + 10y + 5z

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

\frac{1}{2}(10x+20y+10z)\\

Expand the parenthesis using the distributive law;

\frac{1}{2}(10x)+ \frac{1}{2}(20y)+\frac{1}{2}(10z)\\= \frac{10x}{2} + \frac{20y}{2} + \frac{10z}{2}\\= 5x + 10y + 5z

Hence the required solution is 5x + 10y + 5z

The average amount of water in randomly selected 16-ounce bottles of water is 16.15 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.45 oun
vekshin1

Answer:

0.0179 = 1.79% probability that the mean of this sample is less than 15.99 ounces of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use 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 = 16.15, \sigma = 0.45, n = 35, s = \frac{0.45}{\sqrt{35}} = 0.0761

What is the probability that the mean of this sample is less than 15.99 ounces of water?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 15.99. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{15.99 - 16.15}{0.0761}

Z = -2.1

Z = -2.1 has a pvalue of 0.0179

0.0179 = 1.79% probability that the mean of this sample is less than 15.99 ounces of water.

3xy-5x+9y-45

Step-by-step explanation:

Step by Step Solution

STEP1:STEP2:Pulling out like terms

 2.1     Pull out like factors :

   3y - 15  =   3 • (y - 5) 

Equation at the end of step2: (x • (3y - 5)) + 9 • (y - 5) STEP3:Equation at the end of step 3 x • (3y - 5) + 9 • (y - 5) STEP4:Trying to factor a multi variable polynomial

 4.1       Split       3xy-5x+9y-45 

 4.1       Split       3xy-5x+9y-45 

             into two 2-term polynomials

             -5x+3xy   and    +9y-45

             This partition did not result in a factorization. We'll try another one:

             3xy-5x   and    +9y-45

             This partition did not result in a factorization. We'll try another one:

             3xy+9y   and    -5x-45

             This partition did not result in a factorization. We'll try another one:

             3xy-45   and    +9y-5x

             This partition did not result in a factorization. We'll try another one:

             -45+3xy   and    +9y-5x

             This partition did not result in a factorization. We'll try
