Answer:

Standard deviation 46.3

Step-by-step explanation:

A 28% of the distribution is equivalent to a z score of -0.5828, you can use a z table to find that.

Z score is calculated as follows:

z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

x is the number being evaluated

μ is the mean

σ is the standard deviation

And it is used to calculate how many standard deviations you are from the mean of the sample.

Replacing with the known information you can calculate the standard deviation:

\sigma=\frac{x-\mu}{z} =\frac{76-103}{-0.5828}= 46.3

What are the steps on finding common denominators. PLEASE HELP
Dmitrij [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

to find a common denominator, you have to find a number that "works" with every other number.

for example, say you have

2/4 and 8/12

First you need to find the common factor between 4 and 12, so list all your fours

4, 8, 12, 16, 20

Now list all your twelves

12, 24, 36, 48, 60

to find the common factor you look at both your list of numbers and find one that's the same, sometimes it takes a long list of numbers to find the common factor, but you will run into one.

So by looking at our list we see that 4 and 12 share the common factor of 12. but since 8/12 already has a denominator of 12, we are going to leave it alone.

now think about what you would multiply 4 by, to get to 12. The answer is

4 x 3 = 12

to make the numerator correct, you multiply it by the same number you did 4, so since your faction is 2/4 you should do 2 x 3 = 6

now you have your answer,

2/4 and 8/12 turns into

6/12 and 8/12

and that's how you find it, let me know if you have questions :)

A recreation center ordered a total of 15 try schools and bicycles from a sporting good store. The number of wheels for all tric
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer: The linear system of equations that models this scenario are

T + B = 15

3T + 2B = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T represent the number of tricycles.

Let B represents the number of bicycles ordered.

The recreation center ordered a total of 15 tricycles and bicycles from a sporting good store. It is expressed as

T + B = 15

A tricycle has three wheels. A bicycle has 2 wheels. The number of wheels for all tricycles and bicycles total 38. The expression would be

3T + 2B = 38
