Answer:

The domain is (-∞ , ∞)

The domain is continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to identify the domain of the linear function

The domain in this case can be represented by the set of all real numbers.

When we talk of the domain of a function, we are simply referring to the the range of values between the smallest value on the x-axis and the largest number on the x-axis

Hence, mathematically, we are simply considering the smallest value of b up to the largest value of b in this case. Where b simply represents the number of books

Thus, the domain here will be (-∞ , ∞)

On if the domain is discrete or continuous, we can see that the domain is continuous.

The domain is continuous simply because, the domain we have contains all the values and not some in the set of real numbers. If it had contain only some, then it would have been discrete. But since it contains all, it is continuous

Answer:

The Y intercept would be 1. The slope would be 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Y intercept is where a line intercepts, or crosses the Y axis. As you can see in the graph, the line crosses the Y axis at point 1.

To find slope here, you can do the rise divided by the run.

To find this, choose two points. We can use point (0, 1) and point (1, 3)

Next, find the rise, or the vertical distance between the two points. In this case, it would be 2.

Then, find the run, or the horizontal distance between the two points. In this case, it would be 1.

Finally, divide the rise by the run, and create the fraction rise over run, or in this case 2/1.

Many, many snails have a one-mile race, and the time it takes for them to finish is approximately normally distributed with mean

Natali [406]

Answer:

The percentage of snails that take more than 60 hours to finish is 4.75%

The relative frequency of snails that take less than 60 hours to finish is .9525

The proportion of snails that take between 60 and 67 hours to finish is 4.52 of 100.

There is a 0% probability that a randomly chosen snail will take more than 76 hours to finish.

To be among the 10% fastest snails, a snail must finish in at most 42.26 hours.

The most typical of 80% of snails that between 42.26 and 57.68 hours to finish.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by

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

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.

In this problem, we have that:

Many, many snails have a one-mile race, and the time it takes for them to finish is approximately normally distributed with mean 50 hours and standard deviation 6 hours.

This means that $\mu = 50$ and $\sigma = 6$ .

The percentage of snails that take more than 60 hours to finish is %

The pvalue of the zscore of $X = 60$ is the percentage of snails that take LESS than 60 hours to finish. So the percentage of snails that take more than 60 hours to finish is 100% substracted by this pvalue.

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

$Z = \frac{60 - 50}{6}$

$Z = 1.67$

A Zscore of 1.67 has a pvalue of .9525. This means that there is a 95.25% of the snails take less than 60 hours to finish.

The percentage of snails that take more than 60 hours to finish is 100%-95.25% = 4.75%.

The relative frequency of snails that take less than 60 hours to finish is

The relative frequence off snails that take less than 60 hours to finish is the pvalue of the zscore of X = 60.

In the item above, we find that this value is .9525.

So, the relative frequency of snails that take less than 60 hours to finish is .9525

The proportion of snails that take between 60 and 67 hours to finish is:

This is the pvalue of the zscore of X = 67 subtracted by the pvalue of the zscore of X = 60. So

$X = 67$

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

$Z = \frac{67 - 50}{6}$

$Z = 2.83$

A zscore of 2.83 has a pvalue of .9977.

For X = 60, we have found a Zscore o 1.67 with a pvalue of .9977

So, the percentage of snails that take between 60 and 67 hours to finish is:

$p = .9977 - 0.9525 = .0452$

The proportion of snails that take between 60 and 67 hours to finish is 4.52 of 100.

The probability that a randomly-chosen snail will take more than 76 hours to finish (to four decimal places)

This is 100% subtracted by the pvalue of the Zscore of X = 76.

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

$Z = \frac{76 - 50}{6}$

$Z = 4.33$

The pvalue of Z = 4.33 is 1.

So, there is a 0% probability that a randomly chosen snail will take more than 76 hours to finish.

To be among the 10% fastest snails, a snail must finish in at most hours.

The most hours that a snail must finish is the value of X of the Zscore when p = 0.10.

Z = -1.29 has a pvalue of 0.0985, this is the largest pvalue below 0.1. So what is the value of X when Z = -1.29?

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

$-1.29 = \frac{X - 50}{6}$

$X - 50 = -7.74$

$X = 42.26$

To be among the 10% fastest snails, a snail must finish in at most 42.26 hours.

The most typical 80% of snails take between and hours to finish.

This is from a pvalue of .1 to a pvalue of .9.

When the pvalue is .1, X = 42.26.

A zscore of 1.28 is the largest with a pvalue below .9. So

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

$1.28 = \frac{X - 50}{6}$

$X - 50 = 7.68$

$X = 57.68$

The most typical of 80% of snails that between 42.26 and 57.68 hours to finish.

A large rectangular movie screen in an IMAX theater has an area of 7,875 square feet. Find the dimensions of the screen if it is

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Width=75

length=105

Step-by-step explanation:

Width=x

length=30+x

= 7875=x*30+x

x^2+30x-7875=0

x^2+105x-75x-7875=0

x(x+105)-75(x+105)=0

Which of these tools or constructions is used to inscribe a hexagon inside a circle?

Mariulka [41]

The answer is a) equilateral triangle. If you want to inscribe a hexagon inside a circle, the tools or constructions that should be used is 6 equilateral triangles. If you draw a hexagon inscribed in a circle and draw radii to the corners of the hexagon, you will create triangles, six of them.<span>
