Answer:

B) 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to standardize 58 and 66 inches using the following equation:

z=\frac{x-m}{s}

Where m is the mean and s is the standard deviation, so 58 and 66 are equivalent to:

z=\frac{58-70}{4}=-3\\z=\frac{66-70}{4}=-1\\

Then, the percent of men whose heights falls between 58 inches and 66 inches is calculated as:

P(58<z<66) = P(-3<z<-1)

So, using the normal table, we get:

P(-3<z<-1) = P(z<-1) - P(z<-3)

P(-3<z<-1) = 0.1587 - 0.0013

P(-3<z<-1) = 0.1574

Finally, 0.1574 rounded to the nearest whole percent is equal to 16%

f(x)= -2x+1 {-2,0,2,4,6}

If x=-2, then -2(-2)+1 = 5

If x=0, then -2(0)+1 = 1

If x=2, then -2(2)+1 = -3

If x=4, then -2(4)+1 = -7

If x=6, then -2(6)+1 = -11

Answer:

B {5,1,-3,-7,-11}

Mo bisects lmn m lmn 6x-28 m lmo x+34. find m
garri49 [273]
LMO+NMO = LMN,
x+34 + NMO = 6x-28
But, MO bisects LMN, so LMO=NMO
x+34 + x+34 = 6x-28
2x+68 = 6x-28
4x = 96
x = 24
That would makem it
24 + 34 =58 T NMO = 6(24)-28
58 + nmo = 144 - 28 = 119
116- 58 = 58

13 – 6 + 4 i need help because there is a big math test coming up at my school and i need to study for it.
qwelly [4]
First you would follow the Order Of Operations:
Parenthesis
Exponent
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction 
Second step: You will add 6 and 4 together since addition came before subtraction in the Order Of Operations.You would get 10.
Your equation should now look like: 13-10.
Last step: You would subtract 10 from 13 since there are no other numbers
Your answer should then be: 3
HOPE THIS HELPS! ^_^
