Answer:

Percentage of armadillos between 13 and 17 years = 79.052%f using Standard Normal Distribution Tables

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know from normal distribution: z(x) = (x - Mu)/SD

where x = targeted value; Mu = Mean of Normal Distribution; SD = Standard Deviation of Normal Distribution

Therefore using given data: Mu = 14, SD = 1.2 we have z(x) by using z(x) = (x - Mu)/SD as under:

Approach 1 using Standard Normal Distribution Table:

z for x=17: z(17) = (17-14)/1.2 gives us z(17) = 2.5

z for x=13: z(13) = (13-14)/1.2 gives us z(13) = -0.83

Afterwards using Normal Distribution Tables we find the probabilities as under:

P(17) using z(17) = 2.5 gives us P(17) = 99.379%

Similarly we have:

P(13) using z(13) = -0.83 gives us P(13) = 20.327%

Finally in order to find out the probability between 17 & 13 years we have:

Percentage of armadillos between 13 and 17 years = P(17) - P(13) = 99.379% - 20.327% = 79.052%

The standard normal distribution table is being attached for yours easiness.

Approach 2 using Excel or Google Sheets:

P(17) = norm.dist(17,14,1.2,1)

P(13) = norm.dist(13,14,1.2,1)

Percentage of armadillos between 13 and 17 years = { P(17) - P(13) } * 100

Answer:

<h2><em><u>0.6 = 6/10 = 3/5 is the answer.</u></em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

0.6 = 6/10 = 3/5

is the answer

This is because you have to substitute.

Given:

x = 3

y = -1

Unknown:

Final Answer

(x*y^2)/5

((3)(-1*-1)/5

= (3*1)/5

<h2><em><u>= 3/5</u></em></h2><h2><em><u>= 6/10</u></em></h2><h2><em><u>= 0.6</u></em></h2><h2><em><u></u></em></h2>

Hope this helped,

Mary stated that 2.01 x 10⁶ is less than 4.8 x 10⁴ because 2.01 is less than 4.8. what was mary's mistake ?
katrin [286]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is always written as a number between 1 and 9.9999999 repeating. There follows a power of 10. I'm not sure which answer would help you see it clearer but

4.8 * 10^4 the decimal is shifted 4 places the right which is 48000 where you have no numbers, you use zeros.

2.01 * 10^6 means that you shift the decimal 6 places to the right.

2010000

So 2 million is larger than 48 thousand.

The other way to do it is just to look at the power. 6 is more than 4. 6 describes the number of places you move. So does 4. 6>4 so that's the larger number.

Given: Q = 7m + 3n, R = 11 - 2m, S = n + 5, and T = -m - 3n + 8.
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The answer is 10m + 7n - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Q = 7m + 3n

R = 11 - 2m

S = n + 5

T = -m - 3n + 8

[Q - R] + [S - T] is

[ 7m + 3n - (11 - 2m) ] + [ n + 5 - ( - m - 3n+8)]

Solve the terms in the bracket first

That's

( 7m + 3n - 11 + 2m ) + ( n + 5 + m + 3n - 8)

( 9m + 3n - 11 ) + ( m + 4n - 3)

<u>Remove the brackets</u>

That's

9m + 3n - 11 + m + 4n - 3

<u>Group like terms</u>

9m + m + 3n + 4n - 11 - 3

The final answer is

<h3>10m + 7n - 14</h3>

Hope this helps you
