The expression for the number of sixth graders in terms of x is $n = \frac{2x}{7}$

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that , $\frac{2}{7}$ of the students in school are in sixth grade

To find: Expression for number of sixth graders

Let the total number of students in school be "x"

From given statement,

$\frac{2}{7}$ of the students in school are in sixth grade

Which means, $\frac{2}{7}$ of total number of students are in sixth grade

Let "n" be the number of students in sixth grade

Then by given statement,

n = $\frac{2}{7}$ of total number of students

$n = \frac{2}{7} \text{ of } x\\\\n = \frac{2}{7} \times x\\\\n = \frac{2x}{7}$

Thus the expression in terms of x is found

If the tank is then field to capacity how many half-gallon bottles how many cords will it make?

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Divide 12 by 4 first to figure out how many gallons are in each 1/4 of the tank.

12/4=3

So if I added another 1/4 to the capacity:

It could hold 15 gallons.

All you have to do to find how many half bottles can be filled is to times 15 by two since we are filling half gallon bottles.

15x2=30

30 bottles.

The archway of the main entrance of a university is modeled by the quadratic equation

Scilla [17]

Answer:

B. (1,5) and (5.25, 3.94)

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is where the 2 equations intersect.

We need to solve the following system of equations:

y = -x^2 + 6x

4y = 21 - x

From the second equation:

x = 21 - 4y

Plug this into the first equation:

y = -(21 - 4y)^2 + 6(21 - 4y)

y = -(441 - 168y + 16y^2)+ 126 - 24y

y = -441 + 168y - 16y^2 + 126 - 24y

16y^2 + y - 168y + 24y + 441 - 126 = 0

16y^2 - 143y + 315 = 0

y = [-(-143) +/- sqrt ((-143)^2 - 4 * 16 * 315)]/ (2*16)

y = 5, 3.938

When y = 5:

x = 21 - 4(5) = 1

When y = 3.938

x = 21 - 4(3.938) = 5.25.

Suppose you want to solve the equation 2a + 2b= 2a, where a and b are nonzero real numbers. Describe the solution to this equati

Anna11 [10]

This equation has no solution where 'a' and 'b'
are both non-zero real numbers.

You said 2a + 2b = 2a

Subtract 2a from each side: 2b = 0

'b' must be zero.

And it doesn't matter what the value of 'a' is.
As long as b=0, 'a' can be any number.

The mean of a population is 74 and the standard deviation is 15. The shape of the population is unknown. Determine the probabili

Lena [83]

Answer:

a) 0.0548 = 5.48% probability of a random sample of size 36 yielding a sample mean of 78 or more.

b) 0.9858 = 98.58% probability of a random sample of size 150 yielding a sample mean of between 71 and 77.

c) 0.5793 = 57.93% probability of a random sample of size 219 yielding a sample mean of less than 74.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

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

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

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. 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, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

The mean of a population is 74 and the standard deviation is 15.

This means that $\mu = 74, \sigma = 15$

Question a:

Sample of 36 means that $n = 36, s = \frac{15}{\sqrt{36}} = 2.5$

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 78. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{78 - 74}{2.5}$

$Z = 1.6$

$Z = 1.6$ has a pvalue of 0.9452

1 - 0.9452 = 0.0548

0.0548 = 5.48% probability of a random sample of size 36 yielding a sample mean of 78 or more.

Question b:

Sample of 150 means that $n = 150, s = \frac{15}{\sqrt{150}} = 1.2247$

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 77 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 71. So

X = 77

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

$Z = \frac{77 - 74}{1.2274}$

$Z = 2.45$

$Z = 2.45$ has a pvalue of 0.9929

X = 71

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

$Z = \frac{71 - 74}{1.2274}$

$Z = -2.45$

$Z = -2.45$ has a pvalue of 0.0071

0.9929 - 0.0071 = 0.9858

0.9858 = 98.58% probability of a random sample of size 150 yielding a sample mean of between 71 and 77.

c. A random sample of size 219 yielding a sample mean of less than 74.2

Sample size of 219 means that $n = 219, s = \frac{15}{\sqrt{219}} = 1.0136$

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 74.2. So

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

$Z = \frac{74.2 - 74}{1.0136}$

$Z = 0.2$

$Z = 0.2$ has a pvalue of 0.5793

0.5793 = 57.93% probability of a random sample of size 219 yielding a sample mean of less than 74.2
