Answer:

12.3 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

When a constant value is added to each data element in a distribution, the maen changes by that constant but the standard deviation stays the same. This is because the standard deviation is a measure of how distant the data are from the mean. When a constant value is added to each of them, the mean also gets the increment. Hence, the distance from the mean is maintained.

However, if the data were multiplied by a constant factor, then the standard deviation will be multiplied by the same factor as well as the mean.

Therefore, the standard deviation from the question remains the same as before, 12.3 grams.

Answer:

6.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the Cosines Law, we have:

cos(B) = \frac{c^{2} + a^{2} - b^{2} }{2 * a * c}

If we isolate b (which is our x in this problem), we have

b = \sqrt{a^{2}  + c^{2}  - 2 * a * c * cos(B)}

We have

a: 2

c: 5

B: 131 (since it's the complement of the 49 degrees angle: 180 - 49).

So, we plug these numbers in the formula....

b = \sqrt{2^{2}  + 5^{2}  - 2 * 2 * 5 * cos(131)}  = 6.49

We round it up to the tenth of the unit... to get 6.5

Jake reads 24 per day
24×5=121
168-121=47
Julio reads 30 per day
30×5=150
180-150=30
Jake will have 17 more pages left to read than Julio.
