Answer:

P(x < 5) = 0.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The area under a probability "curve" must be = to 1.

Finding the sub-area representing x < 5 immediately yields the desired probability.

Draw a dashed, vertical line through x = 5. The resulting area, on the left, is a trapezoid. The area of a trapezoid is equal to:

(average length)·(width, which here is:

2 + 5

----------- · 0.02 = (7/2)(0.2) = 0.70

Thus, P(x < 5) = 0.70

The angle measurements in the diagram are represented by the following expressions.

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

x=10

A = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

A and B are supplementary angles so they add to 180 degrees

A + B =180

2x+76 + 5x+34 = 180

Combine like terms

7x+ 110 = 180

7x+110-110 = 180-110

7x = 70

Divide by 7

x = 10

Now find A

A = 5x+34

A = 5*10 +34

= 50+34

A = 84

The length of a swimming pool is 3 feet longer than it’s width. The swimming pool is surrounded by a deck that is 2 feet wide an

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The Length of swimming pool is 8.35 feet

The width of swimming pool is 5.35 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The length of swimming pool is 3 feet longer that its width

Let The width of swimming pool = w feet

So, The Length of swimming pool = L = (w + 3) feet

Now, The swimming pool is surrounded by deck of 2 feet wide

The width of deck = w' = w + 2 + 2 = (w + 4) feet

The area of deck = 116 feet²

The length of deck = L' = L + 2 + 2 = (L + 4) feet

So, L' = (w + 3 + 4) feet

I.e L' = (w + 7) feet

∵ The area of deck = 116 feet²

So , L' × w' = 116 feet²

(w + 7)× (w + 4) = 116

Or, w² + 4 w + 7 w + 28 = 116

Or, w² + 11 w - 88 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation as

ax² + bx + c = 0

So, w = $\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4\times a\times c}}{2\times a}$

Or, w = $\dfrac{-11\pm \sqrt{11^{2}-4\times 1\times (-88)}}{2\times 1}$

Or, w = $\dfrac{-11\pm \sqrt{473}}{2}$

or, w = $\dfrac{-11\pm 21.7}{2}$

or, w = 5.35 , -16.35

The width of swimming pool = w = 5.35 feet

The Length of swimming pool = L = (5.35 + 3) feet = 8.35 feet

Hence, The Length of swimming pool is 8.35 feet

And The width of swimming pool is 5.35 feet

Can you discuss the differences and similarities between dividing with whole numbers and decimals.

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Comparing a whole numbers and a decimals:

First let’s talk about the similarities of comparing whole numbers and decimals:

=> their place value always matters.

Now, let’s proceed to their differences

=> in comparing whole numbers, we don’t care about the value to the nearest decimal points or the value of ones. We always look at the highest value, not unless the highest values are all the same.

=> In comparing decimals, the value to the nearest decimal points or the tenths place value always matters.

This table models a linear function. x −8 −4 4 8 y −3 0 6 9 Enter the coordinates of the y-intercept in the boxes.

adell [148]

Answer:

y-intercept is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given table

x: -8 -4 4 8

y: -3 0 6 9

We can select any two points

$x_1=-8,y_1=-3$

$x_2=-4,y_2=0$

Firstly, we will find slope

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

now, we can plug values

$m=\frac{0+3}{-4+8}$

$m=\frac{3}{4}\quad$

now, we can use point slope form of line

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

we can plug values

$y+3=\frac{3}{4}(x+8)$

now, we can solve for y

$y=\frac{3}{4}x+3$

For finding y-intercept , we can plug x=0

$y=\frac{3}{4}\times 0+3$

$y=0+3$

$y=3$

So,

y-intercept is 3
