Answer: OPTION B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the endpoints of the diameter of the circle, we need to find the midpoint, which is the center of the circle.

The following formula is used to calculate the Midpoint:

$M=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Given the endpoints of the diameter of the circle:

$(9, 7)\ and\ (-3, -5)$

We can identify that:

$x_1=9\\x_2=-3\\y_1=7\\y_2=-5$

Then, we can substitute these values into the formula:

$M=(\frac{9+(-3)}{2},\frac{7+(-5)}{2})\\\\M=(3,1)$

Therefore, the center of the circle is: $(3,1)$

The average amount of water in randomly selected 16-ounce bottles of water is 16.15 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.45 oun

vekshin1

Answer:

0.0179 = 1.79% probability that the mean of this sample is less than 15.99 ounces of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use 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 distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 16.15, \sigma = 0.45, n = 35, s = \frac{0.45}{\sqrt{35}} = 0.0761$

What is the probability that the mean of this sample is less than 15.99 ounces of water?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 15.99. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{15.99 - 16.15}{0.0761}$

$Z = -2.1$

$Z = -2.1$ has a pvalue of 0.0179

0.0179 = 1.79% probability that the mean of this sample is less than 15.99 ounces of water.

********PLEASE HELP ****** DVD players are going out of fashion in the modern era. If 400,000 DVD players were sold this year an

abruzzese [7]

So 400,000 DVD sales with a 31% decline means in the 1st year following, there will be a decline of 124,000 DVDs sold. So we need to take 400,000 - 124,000, which equals a starting point for year two is 276,000 DVDs.

So a 31% decline on 276,000 = 85,560. So we need to subtract that from 85,560 from 276,000 which is 190,440. So at the end of the second year, DVD sales were only 190,440. That's also out starting point of the 3rd year.

So 31% of 190,440 equals 59,036.4 for the third year of DVD sales. So we need to subtract 59,036.4 from out third year starting point of 190,440, which equals 131,403.6, but since you can't have parts of DVDs, we'll round the decimal point fraction to a whole number to end up with 131,404 DVDs sold in year three.

So after three years of a 31% yearly decline in DVD sales you end up with DVD sales are 131,404

pls help will give brainliest Rena used the steps below to evaluate the expression (StartFraction (x Superscript negative 3 Base

kaheart [24]

Answer:

First "order of operations" mistake: step 2

First arithmetic mistake: step 4

Step-by-step explanation:

As we understand Rena's work, she wants to simplify ...

$\left(\dfrac{x^{-3}y^{-2}}{2x^4y^{-4}}\right)^{-3}$

for x = -1 and y = 2.

Her work seems to be ...

Step 1

$\text{Substitute $x=-1$ and $y=2$ into the expression}\\\\\left(\dfrac{(-1)^{-3}2^{-2}}{2(-1)^42^{-4}}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{no error}$

Step 2

$\text{Simplify the parentheses}\\\\\left(\dfrac{2^4}{2(-1)^4(-1)^32^2}\right)^{-3}=\left(\dfrac{2^2}{2(-1)^7}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{order of operations error}$

Step 3

$\text{Evaluate the power to a power}\\\\\dfrac{2^{-6}}{2^{-3}(-1)^{21}}\qquad\text{no error}$

Step 4

$\text{Use reciprocals and find the value}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2^32^6(-1)^{21}}=\dfrac{1}{8\cdot 64\cdot (-1)}=\dfrac{-1}{512}\qquad\text{error: $2^3$ is used instead of $2^{-3}$}$

_____

So, the first arithmetic error is in Step 4. However, the order of operations requires exponents be evaluated first. Doing that makes step 2 look like ...

$\left(\dfrac{-\dfrac{1}{4}}{2(1)\dfrac{1}{16}}\right)^{-3}=(-2)^{-3}\qquad\text{proper Step 2}$

We expect your answer is supposed to be Step 4.
