Answer:

184/4

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is a number in the form p/q where the numerator and denominator (p and q) are both integers but the denominator q is not equal to zero (q ≠ 0)

An integer is a whole number (not fractional) that is either positive, negative or zero.

From the question:

-144 is an integer because it is a negative whole number. Also -144 can be represented as -144 / 1, hence it is a rational number

√218/12 is neither a rational number or integer

184/4 is not an integer because it is not a whole number. 184/4 is a rational number

99 is an integer because it is a positive whole number. Also 99 can be represented as 99 / 1, hence it is a rational number

A distribution of values is normal with a mean of 220 and a standard deviation of 13. From this distribution, you are drawing sa

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The interval containing the middle-most 48% of sample means is between 218.59 to 221.41.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributied random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 220, \sigma = 13, n = 35, s = \frac{13}{\sqrt{35}} = 2.1974$

Find the interval containing the middle-most 48% of sample means:

50 - 48/2 = 26th percentile to 50 + 48/2 = 74th percentile. So

74th percentile

value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.74. So X when Z = 0.643.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$0.643 = \frac{X - 220}{2.1974}$

$X - 220 = 0.643*2.1974$

$X = 221.41$

26th percentile

Value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.26. So X when Z = -0.643

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$-0.643 = \frac{X - 220}{2.1974}$

$X - 220 = -0.643*2.1974$

$X = 218.59$

The interval containing the middle-most 48% of sample means is between 218.59 to 221.41.

Standard form of a point that goes through-2,4 and the slope is -1/7

lesantik [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

Standard form of a line passing through (-2, 4) and having slope of -1/7 is x + 7y = 26

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that we need to determine standard form of a line that goes through (-2 , 4) and slope of the line is -1/7

Standard form of line passing through point ( a , b ) and having slope m is given by

(y – b) = m ( x – a) --------(1)

In our case given point is ( -2 , 4 ) and slope is -1/7 that means

a = -2 , b = 4 , m = -(1/7)

On substituting given value of a , b and m is equation (1) we get

$(y-4)=\left(-\frac{1}{7}\right)(x-(-2))$

$=>(y-4)=\left(-\frac{1}{7}\right)(x+2)$

=> 7( y - 4 ) = -x – 2

=> 7y + x = -2 + 28

=> x + 7y = 26

Hence standard form of a line passing through (-2,4) and having slope of –(1/7) is x + 7y = 26

find the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are (-2, 5) and (4, -9). (2, -7) (1, -4) (1, -2)

Alex_Xolod [135]

M(x, y) = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2) = ((-2 + 4)/2, (5 - 9)/2) = (2/2, -4/2) = (1, -2)

If a square has an area of 225 square feet what is the length of each side

sdas [7]

The area of the square: $A=a^2$

where "a" is a length of side.

Therefore:
$A=225\ ft^2\ and\ A=a^2\Rightarrow a^2=225\Rightarrow a=\sqrt{225}\Rightarrow \boxed{a=15\ (ft)}$

If there are 16oz in a pound how many oz are in 10 pounds

liq [111]

160oz. This is because, knowing that there are 16oz in one pound, you can multiply 16 by how many pounds you have to get the oz measurement. In this problem, we multiplied 16 by 10, getting 160oz.
