The larger the magnitude of the z-score in each case, the more unusual the situation is.


Height: mean 60, std. dev. 2. If Daniel is 68 inches tall, the z score describing his height is

68-60

z = ------------ = 4 Any z score whose magnitude is greater than 2 is very

2 unusual. In this case, Daniel's height is practically off

the scale!



Weight

______

115-100

z = ------------- = 3 This is considered to be very unusual, but not so

5 unusual as a z-score of 4 (above).

Since the average height is 60 inches and its deviation is 2 inches, one deviation to the right (or higher) is 62 inches (60 + 2). Two deviations is 64 inches, three deviations is 66 inches, and four deviations is 68 inches.


Since the average weight is 100 pounds and its deviation is 5 inches, we repeat the process from finding heights to get to 115 pounds. That takes three deviations.


The MORE deviations away, the more unusual it is. So the height (4 deviations) is more unusual than the weight (3 deviations).

The function f(x)=5(2)^x was replaced with f(x)+k , resulting in the function graphed below. what is the value of k?
xxTIMURxx [149]
Since adding a constant to a function simply moved the graph upwards by that amount, solve f(x) for any value and see how much the graph given is different from that value of y...the simplest way in this case may be to simply find f(0) which is:

5*2^0=5

Clearly the graph at x=0 is at y=-2  so we can see that k is:

5+k=-2 so

k=-7

Three times x less than y is five times y plus two times x in a verbal sentence please help
tankabanditka [31]
SOLUTION:

As an equation it is:

y - 3x = 5y + 2x

If you are asking for it as a sentence ( I will do it as a written sentence as I unfortunately can't show you the sentence verbally as you had asked ), then it is as you had written in your question so:

Three times x less than y is five times y plus two times x

Or you could write is as:

y subtracted by three times x is equivalent to the sum of five times y and two times x.

Essentially, even with the small alterations that you can make to the phrasing and sentence structure, the concepts are the same so you can use one of the above answers or alter it as you please.

Hope this helps! :)
