Answer:

b) Chemistry

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare both scored we need to standardize the scores using the following equation:

\frac{x-m}{s}

Where x is the score, m is the mean and s is the standard deviation. So, 82 on chemistry is equivalent to:

\frac{82-75}{15}=0.4667

Because the mean of the scores on the chemistry final exam is equal to 75 and the standard deviation is 15

At the same way, 80 on Calculus is equivalent to:

\frac{80-83}{13} =-0.2308

Because the mean of the scores on the calculus final exam is equal to 83 and the standard deviation is 13

Now, we can compare the values. So, taking into account that -0.2308 is lower than 0.4667, we can said that the student do better in Chemistry.

Let s be the sum of all digits used in writing all numbers from 1 to 1010.find s
Sophie [7]
We know, s = n/2 [a + l ]
Here, n = 1010
a = 1
l = 1010

Substitute their values, 
s = 1010/2 [1 + 1010]
s = 505 [ 1011]
s = 510555

In short, Your Answer would be 5,10,555

Hope this helps!

Consider the following linear equation.y = -1-Step 1 of 2: Determine the slope and the y-intercept (entered as an ordered pair)
Dmitriy789 [7]

Recall that a slope-intercept form of a linear equation is

\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \text{where} \\ m\text{ is the slope} \\ b\text{ is the y-intercept} \end{gathered}

Rearrange the given so that it follows that slope intercept form

\begin{gathered} y=-1-\frac{2}{5}x\Longrightarrow y=-\frac{2}{5}x-1 \\  \\ \text{Now that it is in the slope intercept form} \\ y=-\frac{2}{5}x-1 \\ \text{we can determine that the slope is } \\ m=-\frac{2}{5} \\ \text{and the y-intercept is} \\ b=-1 \end{gathered}

The y-intercept is the value for which the linear function crosses the y-axis, this is when the value of x is equal to zero. The ordered pair therefore of the y-intercept is (0,-1).

Bella wants to save for a vacation in three years and this vacation costs $2300. She deposits $2000 into a bank earning 5% inter
ddd [48]

Answer:

$2,323.2

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

Where,

A = future value = ?

P = present value = 2,000

r = interest rate = 5% = 0.05

n = number of periods = 12

t = time = 3 years

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

= 2,000(1 + 0.05/12)^12*3

= 2,000( 1 + 0.00417)^36

= 2,000( 1.00417)^36

= 2,000(1.1616)

= 2,323.2

A = $2,323.2
