The 2000 CDC growth charts were developed using a reference population of infants. A pediatrician looks up one of the charts and

finds that the 10th percentile for weights of baby boys at 3-1/2 months is 10.9 pounds. This means that _______ of the 3-1/2-month-old baby boys in the reference population weigh 10.9 pounds or less, and ________ of these baby boys weigh 10.9 pounds or more.

Answer:

The 2000 CDC growth charts were developed using a reference population of infants. A pediatrician looks up one of the charts and finds that the 10th percentile for weights of baby boys at 3-1/2 months is 10.9 pounds. This means that *** about 10%*** of the 3-1/2-month-old baby boys in the reference population weigh 10.9 pounds or less, and ***about 90%*** of these baby boys weigh 10.9 pounds or more.

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentiles indicate the position or standing of a value as compared to the general set of values in the same sample space. They indicate the values below which a certain percentage of the data in a data set is found.

The nth percentile of a set of data is the value at which n percent of the data is below it.

Like in this example, the 10th percentile is the value (or score) below which 10% of the observations may be found. Similarly, 90% of the observations are found above the 20th percentile.

Expression.is of what number? Write a division expression to match this question.
nirvana33 [79]

3/4 is 1/3 of what number?

For this problem we just need to do the following division:

\frac{x}{3}=\frac{3}{4}

And we can solve for the value of x desired and we got multiplying both sides by 3:

x=3(\frac{3}{4})=\frac{9}{4}

So then we can conclude that 3/4 is 1/3 of 9/4

Answer: 9/4

Expression:

\frac{x}{3}=\frac{3}{4}

Theresa earned scores of 88 points, 84 points, 88 points, and 91 points on four tests. What is the lowest score she can get on t
Yanka [14]
So u will do 88+84=172+88=260+91=351 and that is all four tests added up now u have to divide the answer by 4 because it was four tests averages
351/4=87.75 wich is aproxamately 88 
so with all four of them added wich is 351 u will add the answer choices so 351+96=447/5=89.4 wich is aproxamately 89
351+97=448/5=89.6 wich is aproxamately 90
351+98=449/5=89.8 wich is aproxamately 90
351+99=450/5=90
so i would say that 99 points is the one she needs to score because it isnt asking for aproxamately 
so it is 99 points

I need help with this math question on my study guide!
dalvyx [7]
Sadly is right.  You must have practiced this stuff in middle school
until it was coming out of your ears.  Fortunately, you have a chance
to relearn it now.  You should do that ... it'll be important in any math
course you ever take.

'm' is the slope of the line on the graph.

The slope is

                (the change in 'y' between any two points on the line)
divided by
               (the change in 'x' between the same two points).

You can choose any two points on the line, and the slope is always the same.

To make it easy, look at the two points on this graph where the line crosses
the x-axis and the y-axis.

Going between these two points ...
-- the line goes up, from  y=0  to  y=4.  The change in 'y' is  4 .
-- the line goes to the right, from  x=-2  to  x=0.  The change in 'x' is  2 .

           'm' = the slope  =  (4)/(2)  =  2 .

The  "y-intercept"  is the place where the line crosses the y-axis.
On this graph, that's the point where  y=4 .

The equation of EVERY straight line on ANY graph is:

                 Y  =  (the slope) times 'x'  +  (the y-intercept) .

So the equation of THIS line on THIS graph is

                 Y = 2x + 4 .
