Answer:

Option D is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are provided angle of elevations of two artifacts buried beneath the ground and we are asked to find distance between these two elevations.

We will find distance between these elevations by taking the difference of two.

35:\frac{4}{7}--8:\frac{2}{7}

35:\frac{4}{7}+8:\frac{2}{7}=43:\frac{6}{7}

Since we know that distance is always positive so option A is incorrect.

Therefore, option D is the correct choice and distance between these two elevations is 43:\frac{6}{7}.

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that an archaeologist discovered two artifacts buried beneath the ground.

Elevation of first artifact = -8\frac{2}{7}

Elevation of second artifact = 35\frac{4}{7}

We need to find the distance between these two elevations.

Distance = Elevation of first artifact - Elevation of second artifact

Distance=-8\frac{2}{7}-(35\frac{4}{7})

Distance=-(8+\frac{2}{7})-(35+\frac{4}{7})

Distance=-8-\frac{2}{7}-35-\frac{4}{7}

On further simplification we get

Distance=-43-\frac{6}{7}

Distance=-(43+\frac{6}{7})

Distance=-43\frac{6}{7}

Distance can not be negative. So, find the absolute value.

Distance=|-43\frac{6}{7}|

Distance=|43\frac{6}{7}|

Therefore, the correct option is D.

The distribution of income tax refunds follow an approximate normal distribution with a mean of $7010 and a standard deviation o
Andrej [43]

Answer:

A refund must be above $7,139 before it is audited.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 7010, standard deviation = 43.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

The empirical rule is symmetric, which means that the lowest (100-99.7)/2 = 0.15% is at least 3 standard deviations below the mean, and the upper 0.15% is at least 3 standard deviations above the mean.

Use the Empirical Rule to determine approximately above what dollar value must a refund be before it is audited.

3 standard deviations above the mean, so:

7010 + 3*43 = 7139.

A refund must be above $7,139 before it is audited.

A yearbook company was investigating whether there is a significant difference between two states in the percents of high school
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer: D. two-sample z-test for a difference in population proportions

Step-by-step explanation:

The options for the given questions were missing. The options are as follows:

A one-sample z-test for a sample proportion

B one-sample z-test for a population proportion

A

C two-sample z-test for a difference in sample proportions

D two-sample z-test for a difference in population proportions

Solution:

Sample proportions are used to estimate population proportions.

We are given the sample proportion of students from one state who ordered a yearbook = 70/150

We are also given the sample proportion of students from the other state who ordered a yearbook = 65/100

Since there are 2 samples and we want to investigate if there is a difference between 2 population of students,

Therefore, the most appropriate method for analyzing the results is

D. two-sample z-test for a difference in population proportions
