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 is the base five representation of The number 219
ICE Princess25 [194]

assuming 219_{10}

Then the column values for base five here are

5³  5²  5^{1}  5^{0}

We can get 1 × 5³ = 125 → 219 - 125 = 94

We can get 3 × 5² = 75 → 94 - 75 = 19

We can get 3 x 5^{1} → 19 - 15 = 4

and 4 = 4 × 5^{0}

Thus 219_{10} = 1334_{5}

As a check

(1 × 125 ) + (3 × 25 ) + (3 × 5 ) + 4 = 219

2/3 +1 2/7 =<br> step and working out plz
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Make 1 2/7 an improper fraction = 9/7

2. Multiply 7 on both numerator and denominator for 2/3 to make 14/21, and multiply 3 for both numerator and denominator for 9/7 to make 27/21.

3. Add them together. 14/21+27/21=41/21.

4. (Optional) If the question is asking for mixed numbers, 41/21 = 1 20/21.

Can u help sold this
solong [7]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the slope or gradient we use this formula:

Slope = y2-y1/x2-x1

(-3,2) = (x1, y1)

(4,2) =  (x2, y2)

Slope = 2-2/4-(-3) = 0
