At Burnt Mesa Pueblo, archaeological studies have used the method of tree-ring dating in an effort to determine when prehistoric

people lived in the pueblo. Wood from several excavations gave a mean of (year) 1256 with a standard deviation of 41 years. The distribution of dates was more or less mound-shaped and symmetrical about the mean. Use the empirical rule to estimate the following.
(a) a range of years centered about the mean in which about 68% of the data (tree-ring dates) will be found
between and A.D.
(b) a range of years centered about the mean in which about 95% of the data (tree-ring dates) will be found
between and A.D.
(c) a range of years centered about the mean in which almost all the data (tree-ring dates) will be found
between and A.D.

Answer:

a) (1215, 1297)

b) (1174,  1338)

c) (1133, 1379)      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 1256

Standard Deviation, σ = 41

Empirical Rule:

  • Also known as 68-95-99.7 rule.
  • It states that almost all the data lies within three standard deviation for a normal data.
  • About 68% of data lies within 1 standard deviation of mean.
  • About 95% of data lies within two standard deviation of mean.
  • About 99.7% of data lies within 3 standard deviation of mean.

a) range of years centered about the mean in which about 68% of the data lies

\mu \pm 1(\sigma)\\=1256 \pm 41\\=(1215, 1297)

68% of data will be found between 1215 years and 1297 years.

b) range of years centered about the mean in which about 95% of the data lies

\mu \pm 2(\sigma)\\=1256 \pm 2(41)\\=1256 \pm 82\\=(1174, 1338)

95% of data will be found between 1174 years and 1338 years.

c) range of years centered about the mean in which about all of the data lies

\mu \pm 3(\sigma)\\=1256 \pm 3(41)\\=1256 \pm 123\\=(1133, 1379)

All of data will be found between 1133 years and 1379 years.

Y=x^2+bx+c;(-2,3)
Maksim231197 [3]
<h3>Answer:  b = 4 and c = 7.</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

Comparing y = x^2+bx+c to y = ax^2+bx+c, we see that a = 1.

The vertex given is (-2,3). In general, the vertex is (h,k). So h = -2 and k = 3.

Plug those three values into the vertex form below

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

y = 1(x-(-2))^2 + 3

y = (x+2)^2 + 3

Then expand everything out and simplify

y = x^2+4x+4 + 3

y = x^2+4x+7

We see that b = 4 and c = 7.

Vince weighs 160 pounds, and his friend Nadir weighs 140 pounds. Nadir calculated that his weight on another planet would be abo
vlabodo [156]
160/140 = x/56
cross multiply
(140)(x) = (160)(56)
140x = 8960
x = 8960/140
x = 64 lbs <== Vince's weight on the other planet

Of the Students that attended Roosevelt Elementary 6/8 of the school play a sport. Of the students are playing a sport 3/5 of th
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

\frac{9}{20} students.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that of the students that attended Roosevelt Elementary 6/8 of the school play a sport. Of the students are playing a sport 3/5 of the students are also involved in the drama club.

To find the students are both play a sport and a part of the drama club, we need to find 3/5 part of 6/8 as:

\text{Students who play a sport and a part of the drama club}=\frac{6}{8}\times \frac{3}{5}

\text{Students who play a sport and a part of the drama club}=\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{3}{5}

\text{Students who play a sport and a part of the drama club}=\frac{3\times 3}{4\times 5}

\text{Students who play a sport and a part of the drama club}=\frac{9}{20}

Therefore, \frac{9}{20} students play sport and part of the drama club.
