Answer:

Choice B.  6 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

We see this is a right triangle.

The height of this right triangle is 3 km and the angle adjacent to the height leg of the triangle is  (90 - 26 ) degrees = 64 degrees.

We want the distance d which is the leg opposite  64 degrees.

tan 64 = d / 3 km  ;

d = 3 * tan 64 =  3 * 2.0503038  km  = 6.1509 km

Assume that blood pressure readings are normally distributed with a mean of 123 and a standard deviation of 9.6. If 144 people a
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

The probability is 0.9938

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the probability that the mean blood pressure readings of a group of people is less than a certain reading.

To calculate this, we use the z score.

Mathematically;

z = (mean - value)/(standard deviation/√N)

From the question, we can identify that the mean is 125, the value is 123 , the standard deviation is 9.6 and N ( total population is 144)

Let’s plug these values;

z = (125-123)/(9.6/√144) = 2.5

Now we proceed to calculate the probability with a s score less than 2.5 using statistical tables

P(z<2.5) = 0.9938

Anyone can help me I would appreciate it
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

This would be shifted down 8 and made 3 times less steep.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine these transformations, we first need to compare the constants at the end. This will determine the up or downward shift. Since the f(x) is 5 and the g(x) is -3, we know that it went down 8.

Next we compare the coefficients of x. Since the f(x) is 6 and the g(x) is 2, we know that it is 3 times less steep.

Which bacteria sample (A or B) had a smaller initial population? What was that value?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

B has a smaller initial population of 500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for complete question

Required

The bacteria with the smaller initial population

The initial population is at x = 0

For bacteria A;

A(x) = 600 when x = 0

For bacteria B, we have:

B(x) = 500(2)^x

Substitute 0 for x

B(x) = 500(2)^0

B(x) = 500*1

B(x) = 500

So; when x = 0

A(x) = 600 and B(x) = 500

Because; 500 < 600

We can conclude that B has a smaller initial population of 500
