One year Terry had the lowest ERA​ (earned-run average, mean number of runs yielded per nine innings​ pitched) of any male pitch

er at his​ school, with an ERA of 2.85 . ​Also, Karla had the lowest ERA of any female pitcher at the school with an ERA of 2.95 . For the​ males, the mean ERA was 4.893 and the standard deviation was 0.949 . For the​ females, the mean ERA was 4.348 and the standard deviation was 0.997 . Find their respective​ z-scores. Which player had the better year relative to their​ peers, Terry or Karla ​? ​(Note: In​ general, the lower the​ ERA, the better the​ pitcher.)

Answer:

Their respective​ z-scores are:

Thomas : -2.15279

Karla : -1.40221

Which player had the better year relative to their​ peers, Terry or Karla ​? ​

Terry had a better year because he had a lower Era and he was a better pitcher.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score,

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

any male pitcher at his​ school,

For Thomas:

z = (x-μ)/σ

x = 2.85 μ = 4.893 σ = 0.949.

z = 2.85 - 4.893/0.949

z = -2.15279

For Karla

z = (x-μ)/σ

x = 2.95 μ = 4.348 σ = 0.997.

z = (2.95 - 4.348) /0

z = -1.40221

Their respective​ z-scores are:

Thomas : -2.15279

Karla : -1.40221

Which player had the better year relative to their​ peers, Terry or Karla ​? ​(Note: In​ general, the lower the​ ERA, the better the​ pitcher.)

Terry had a better year because he had a lower Era and he was a better pitcher.

Amanda uses 1/3 of a cup of milk each time she makes a batch of pancakes. How manybbatches can she make if she only has 11/22 of
kow [346]

Answer:

<u>Amanda can make 1.5 or 3/2 of batches of pancakes with 11/22 of a cup of milk.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us for answering the question correctly:

Amount of milk Amanda use for a batch of pancakes = 1/3 cup

2. How many batches can she make if she only has 11/22 of a cup of milk left?

Let's simplify 11/22, dividing by 11 the numerator and the denominator,

11/22 = 1/2

Now, using the Rule of Three Simple, we can calculate the answer to this question, this way:

Number of batches = (1/2 * 1)/1/3

Number of batches = 1/2 / 1/3

Number of batches = 1/2 * 3/1 (Taking the reciprocal)

Number of batches = 3/2 = 1.5

<u>Amanda can make 1.5 or 3/2 of batches of pancakes with 11/22 of a cup of milk.</u>

Which does not describe the same situation y=3x+5
Naddika [18.5K]
Given the function. y = 3x + 5

For, x = -3; y = 3(-3) + 5 = -9 + 5 = -4
For x = 1; y = 3(1) + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8
For x = 4; y = 3(4) + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17

Thus the table representing the function is the table with: -3, 1 and 4 as x-values and -4, 8, 17 as y-values.

For x = 0; y = 3(0) + 5 = 0 + 5 = 5
For y = 0; 0 = 3x + 5; 3x = -5 and x = -5/3

Thus the graph of the function is a straight line passing through points (0, 5) and (-5/3, 0).

To illustrate the fuction as a word statement we say that y is five more than three times x


From the given descriptions, the graph does not represent the graph of y = 3x + 5.

Therefore, the one that does not describe the same situation is the graph.

Solve the following quadratic equation<br>x+12x+36 - 16​
Doss [256]

Answer:

x= -2, x= -10

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 12x + 36 = 16

Began by setting this quadratic equation to 0. To do this, in this equation you must subtract.

x^2+12x+20=0

Next, we plug this into the quadratic formula, where a in this case is 1(there is nothing in front of x^2), b is equaled to 12(there is a 12 as the coeefficient of 12x), and c is equaled to 20.

The quadratic formula is as goes:

(-b+-(this means plus or minus)√b^2-4ac)/(2a)

After pluggin in and simplifying, the answer is x= -2 and x= -10
