A class is listing things that come in fives. Some of the things on the list are: points on a star, players on a basketball team

, sides on a Pentagon. Jan is writing a problem to match six times five. Jan writes, "I have six nickels. Each nickel is worth five cents. How much money do I have? " Jan tells the class that she can represent how to solve the problem in many different ways. What are two different ways that Jan could represent and solve her problem?

It appears that people who are mildly obese are less active than leaner people. One study looked at the average number of minute
hoa [83]

Answer:

Obese people

Lower = \mu - 2\sigma = 373- 2(67) = 239

Upper = \mu + 2\sigma = 373+ 2(67) = 507

Lean People

Lower = \mu - 2\sigma = 526- 2(107) = 312

Upper = \mu + 2\sigma = 526+ 2(107) = 740

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

The empirical rule, also referred to as the three-sigma rule or 68-95-99.7 rule, is a statistical rule which states that for a normal distribution, "almost all data falls within three standard deviations (denoted by σ) of the mean (denoted by µ). Broken down, the empirical rule shows that 68% falls within the first standard deviation (µ ± σ), 95% within the first two standard deviations (µ ± 2σ), and 99.7% within the first three standard deviations (µ ± 3σ)".

Solution to the problem

Obese people

Let X the random variable that represent the minutes of a population (obese people), and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(373,67)  

Where \mu=373 and \sigma=67

On this case we know that 95% of the data values are within two deviation from the mean using the 68-95-99.7 rule so then we can find the limits liek this:

Lower = \mu - 2\sigma = 373- 2(67) = 239

Upper = \mu + 2\sigma = 373+ 2(67) = 507

Lean People

Let X the random variable that represent the minutes of a population (lean people), and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(526,107)  

Where \mu=526 and \sigma=107

On this case we know that 95% of the data values are within two deviation from the mean using the 68-95-99.7 rule so then we can find the limits liek this:

Lower = \mu - 2\sigma = 526- 2(107) = 312

Upper = \mu + 2\sigma = 526+ 2(107) = 740

The interval for the lean people is significantly higher than the interval for the obese people.

Which statements about the system are true?
Kruka [31]

2 Answers:

  • B)  The lines are parallel
  • C)  The lines have the same slope.

Parallel lines always have equal slope, but different y intercepts.

==========================================================

Explanation:

Let's solve the second equation for y

3y - x = -7

3y = -7+x

3y = x-7

y = (x-7)/3

y = x/3 - 7/3

y = (1/3)x - 7/3

The equation is in y = mx+b form with m = 1/3 as the slope and b = -7/3 as the y intercept. We see that the first equation, where y was already isolated, also has a slope of m = 1/3. The two equations of this system have the same slope. Choice C is one of the answers.

However, they don't have the same y intercept. The first equation has y intercept b = -4, while the second has b = -7/3. This means that they do not represent the same line. They need to have identical slopes, and identical y intercepts (though the slope can be different from the y intercept of course) in order to have identical lines. So we can rule out choice D and E because of this.

Because the two equations have the same slope, but different y intercepts, this means the lines are parallel. Choice B is the other answer.

Parallel lines never touch or intersect, which in turn means there is no solution point. A solution point is where the lines cross. We can rule out choice A.

I recommend using your graphing calculator, Desmos, GeoGebra, or any graphing tool (on your computer or online) to graph each equation given. You should see two parallel lines forming. I used GeoGebra to make the graph shown below.

The price-earnings ratio for firms in a given industry follows the normal distribution. In this industry, a firm whose price-ear
lesantik [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is

A. 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

The zscore is used to solve problems of normally distributed samples.

This score indicates the percentage of a certain measure. It can be found looking at the z table.

For example, if a measure has a percentile of 75%, it is in the 100%-75% = highest 25 percent of all the measures.

Z = 1 has a pvalue 0.8413. So it is in the highest 1-0.8413 = 0.1587 = 16% percent of firms in the industry.

The correct answer is

A. 16%
