Mrs. Kimble, the sixth-grade math teacher, asked the class to describe the relationship between two points on the number line, 7

.45 and 7.5, and to create a real-world scenario. Jackson writes the following story:
"Two friends, Jackie and Jennie, each brought money to the fair. Jackie brought more than Jennie. Jackie brought $7.45, and Jennie brought $7.50. Since 7.45 has more digits than 7.5, it would come after 7.5 on the number line, or to the right, so it is a greater value."

Determine if you agree or disagree with the representation. Then, defend your stance by citing specific details in your writing.

Answer:

Jackie took less money than Jennie.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Money brought by Jackie  = $7.45

Money brought by Jennie  = $7.5

It is incorrect to say that Jackie brought more money than Jennie on the basis that 7.45 has more number of digits than 7.5

The student forgot to take in consideration the 0 in 7.50 which means apart from 7 dollars, 50 cents were taken and in case of 7.45, apart from 7 dollars, 45 cents were taken.  

Hence, Jackie took less money than Jennie.

if accrotime guarantees a full refund on any defective watch for 2 years after purchase, what percentage of total
adell [148]

Answer:

A. 0.62%

B. 28 months

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Calculation for what percentage of total production will the company expect to replace

Let x represents the distribution of life times

Let mean be 34 months

Let standard deviation be 4 months.

Based on the information the full refund on any defective watch for 2 years will represent 24 months (2 years *12 months).

First step

P(X<24)

= p(x-mean/ standard deviation< 24-34/4)

= p(z< -10/4)

=P(z<-2.5)

Second step is to Use the excel function to find NORMSDIST(z) of P(z<-2.5)

NORMSDIST(z)=0.62%

Therefore the percentage of total production will the company expect to replace will be 0.62%

B. Calculation for how much the guarantee period should be

First step

P(X<x)=0.06

P(x-Mean/Standard deviation < x-34/4) = 0.06

Second Step is to Use excel function

P(z<x-34/4) = (Normsinv(0.06)

x-34/4 = -1.555

Now let calculate how much the guarantee period should be

x = -6.22+34 months

x = 27.78

x = 28 months (Approximately)

Therefore the guarantee period should be 28 months

​In a sample of 800 U.S.​ adults, 199 think that most celebrities are good role models. Two Two U.S. adults are selected at rand
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a sample of 800 U.S.​ adults, 199 think that most celebrities are good role models. Two Two U.S. adults are selected at random from the population of all U.S. adults without replacement.

In 800 adults 199 are favourable and remaining 601 are against.

a) The probability that both adults think most celebrities are good role models is ________= Prob of selecting both from 199

= \frac{199C2}{800C2} \\=0.0616

=0.062

b) The probability that neither adult thinks most celebrities are good role models is _______=P(both selecting from 601)

=  \frac{601C2}{800C2} \\=0.5641

=0.564

c) The probability that at least one of the two adults thinks most celebrities are good role models ______

=1-Prob that neither thinks

= 1- 0.564

= 0.436

Tell me if I'm right, 10 points on the line
Llana [10]
<h3>Answer: Choice F) 1</h3>

=============================================

Explanation:

x^2+8x+7 factors to (x+1)(x+7)

x^2+4x-21 factors to (x-3)(x+7)

Therefore, the numerator (x^2+8x+7)(x-3) updates to (x+1)(x+7)(x-3)

The denominator (x^2+4x-21)(x+1) updates to (x-3)(x+7)(x+1)

We have three pairs of terms that will cancel between the numerator and denominator. The (x+1) terms pair up and cancel out, so do the (x+7) terms and also the (x-3) terms as well. Everything cancels out. The only thing left is 1 because x/x = 1 where x is nonzero. We can have a more complicated expression replace x to get the same basic idea. This is what I mean by "canceling".
