Why are people with savings hurt by inflation?

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer: see last picture

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that the y-intercept is 10 and the slope is -3

so when x = 0, y = 10

Graph this first point (picture 1)

Since the slope is -3, every time you go one unit to the left, you go down 3 units, so graph this second point (picture 2)

Continue this until you have no more room on the graph (picture 3)

now draw a line through the dots (picture 4)

The pregnancy length in days for a population of new mothers can be approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of days an

solniwko [45]

Answer:

(a) 283 days

(b) 248 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

The pregnancy length in days for a population of new mothers can be approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of 268 days and a standard deviation of 12 days. (a) What is the minimum pregnancy length that can be in the top 11% of pregnancy lengths? (b) What is the maximum pregnancy length that can be in the bottom 5% of pregnancy lengths?

Solution:

The random variable X can be defined as the pregnancy length in days.

Then, from the provided information $X\sim N(\mu=268, \sigma^{2}=12^{2})$ .

(a)

The minimum pregnancy length that can be in the top 11% of pregnancy lengths implies that:

P (X > x) = 0.11

⇒ P (Z > z) = 0.11

⇒ z = 1.23

Compute the value of x as follows:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\1.23=\frac{x-268}{12}\\\\x=268+(12\times 1.23)\\\\x=282.76\\\\x\approx 283$

Thus, the minimum pregnancy length that can be in the top 11% of pregnancy lengths is 283 days.

(b)

The maximum pregnancy length that can be in the bottom 5% of pregnancy lengths implies that:

P (X < x) = 0.05

⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.05

⇒ z = -1.645

Compute the value of x as follows:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\-1.645=\frac{x-268}{12}\\\\x=268-(12\times 1.645)\\\\x=248.26\\\\x\approx 248$

Thus, the maximum pregnancy length that can be in the bottom 5% of pregnancy lengths is 248 days.

Determine whether the equation defines y as a function of x. x+y=9 and x^2+y^2=1 and x=y^2

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Function: $x+y=9$

Not Function: $x^2+y^2=1$ and $x=y^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x+y=9$

$x^2+y^2=1$

$x=y^2$

Required

Determine if $y$ is a function of $x$

Solving x+y=9

$x+y=9$

Make y the subject of formula

$y = 9 - x$

Hence; y is a function of x

Solving $x^2+y^2=1$

$x^2+y^2=1$

Subtract x² from both sides

$y^2=1 - x^2$

Square root of both sides

$y =\± \sqrt{1 - x^2}$

This implies that

$y =\sqrt{1 - x^2}$ or $y =-\sqrt{1 - x^2}$

Because $y$ can be any of those two expressions, it is not a function.

Solving $x=y^2$

$x=y^2$

Reorder

$y^2 = x$

Take square roots

$y = \±\sqrt{x}$

This implies that

$y = \sqrt{x}$ or $y = -\sqrt{x}$

Because $y$ can be any of those two expressions, it is not a function.

The distance between two train stops is 160 miles the train will travel 3/4 miles per minute how long will it take the train to

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

<h2> 3hours 55 minute</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

distance= 160miles

velocity = 3/4 miles per minutes

Step two:

Required:

time

we know that velocity is

v=distance/time

times= distance/velocity

time=160/3/4

time= 160*4/3

time=640/3

time=213.33333minuts

Time= 3hours 55 minute
