Answer:

a. 95%

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question, using z score formula.

Z score formula = (x - μ)/σ/√n

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

n is number of samples

For z1, where x1 = 460, μ = 500, σ = 20, n = 140

z score formula = (460 - 500)/ 20

= -40/20

= -2

We find the probability of the z score using the z score table.

P(x = 460) = P(z = -2)

= 0.02275

For z2, where x2 = 540, μ = 500, σ = 20

z score formula = (540 - 500)/20

= 40/20

= 2

We find the probability of the z score using the z score table.

P(x = 540) = P(z = 2)

= 0.97725

The probability that the cargo containers will weigh between 460 pounds and 540 pounds is calculated as:

= 460 < x < 540

= P(z = 2) - P(z = -2)

= 0.97725 - 0.02275

= 0.9545

Converting to percentage

0.9545 × 100

= 95.45%

Therefore,the percentage of the cargo containers will weigh between 460 pounds and 540 pounds is 95%

uysha [10]

The original line is

4x - 2y = -12

The parallel lines will all be

4x - 2y = constant

and the constant is given by the point directly:

4x - 2y = 4(4) - 2(-4) = 24

2y = 4x - 24

y = 2x - 12

Answer: y = 2x - 12

Correct Option is D.  Lines 72-75 ("Consider . . . happiness")

In lines 72-75, Wollstonecraft provides evidence that society’s leaders grant freedoms that privilege men. She argues that while society’s leaders believe they “are acting in the manner best calculated to promote [women’s] happiness,” their decisions don’t allow women to “contend for their freedom.”

Choices A, B, and C do not provide the best evidence that society’s leaders grant freedoms that privilege men over women.

<h3>The lines from passage are - </h3>

Consider—I address you as a legislator—

whether, when men contend for their freedom, and

to be allowed to judge for themselves respecting their

own happiness

Previous Question is :

"In Passage 2, the author claims that freedoms granted by society's leaders have:"

<h3>This question is based on paragraph from Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. Originally published in 1792, which is given below -</h3>

Passage 2 -

"Contending for the rights of woman, my main argument is built on this simple principle, that if she be not prepared by education to become the companion of man, she will stop the progress of 45 knowledge and virtue; for truth must be common to all, or it will be inefficacious with respect to its influence on general practice.

3n *power 2 +10n+7 how to factories and pls tell with solution
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

(n + 1)(3n + 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

3n² + 10n + 7

Consider the factors of the product of the n² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the n- term.

product = 3 × 7 = 21 and sum = + 10

The factors are + 3 and + 7

Use these factors to split the n- term

3n² + 3n + 7n + 7 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

3n(n + 1) + 7(n + 1) ← factor out (n + 1) from each term

= (n + 1)(3n + 7) ← in factored form

The area of a patio is 72 square feet. The length of the patio is 1 foot longer than the width. What is the width of the patio?
mote1985 [20]
I know there must be an equation to do this, but there is a simpler way.
Just factor number 72 into two numbers which, when multiplied, equal 72. Two of such numbers are 9 and 8, and you can see that the difference between those two numbers is just 1. So that is the answer to your question - the length of the patio is 9 feet, whereas the width is 8 feet.
