If (a,b) is an ordered pair for x-y=5, is (b,a) also a solution?

The answer is no. Because solution (a,b) means x=a, y=b.and we have a-b=5.  And (b,a) would mean x=b and y=a but then x-y=b-a=-(a-b)=-5≠5. So  the pair (b,a) is not a solution.

A consumer survey indicates that the average household spendsμ= $185on groceries each week. The distribution of spending amounts
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

P(X>200)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{200-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{200-185}{25})=P(Z>0.6)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with the normal standard table or excel:

P(Z>0.6)=1-P(z

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the average household spent of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(185,25)  

Where \mu=185 and \sigma=25

We are interested on this probability

P(X>200)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>200)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{200-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{200-185}{25})=P(Z>0.6)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with the normal standard table or excel:

P(Z>0.6)=1-P(z

1. Translate the variable expression into a word phrase: 4b – 2
nevsk [136]
1. 4b - 2 : the product of 4 and a number (b) decreased by 2

2. the sum of 15 and 4 times a number......15 + 4x

3. 8 fewer boys then girls...how many boys.......b = g - 8

4. It will be less then 1 because of the negative exponent....a negative exponent will mean the number is less then 1...I dont really know how else to explain it.

5. Doug is twice Anna's age...doug is 34 years old
   I dont know the 5 step plan...but I am putting what I do know

   d = doug's age
   a = anna's age
   
   d = 2a
   d = 34
   
   34 = 2a
   34/2 = a
   17 = a....so anna is 17

   check..
   d = 2a
   d = 2(17)
    d = 34 (correct)
