Answer:

a) z = 1.40

b) X is greater than or equal to 4.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Population mean (μ) = 1.54

Standard deviation (σ) = 2.40

The z-score for any given value X is:

$z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

a) For X= 4.9:

$z=\frac{4.9 -1.54}{2.40}\\z= 1.40$

The corresponding z-score for x = 4.9 is z=1.40

b) Z-scores higher than 1.40 correspond to values of X higher than 4.9. Therefore, the area under the standard normal probability density function from z to infinity, P(z ≥ 1.40), is interpreted as the probability that X is greater than or equal to 4.9.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the average rate of change of each given function over the interval [-2, 2]]:

✔️ Average rate of change of m(x) over [-2, 2]:

Average rate of change = $\frac{m(b) - m(a)}{b - a}$

Where,

a = -2, m(a) = -12

b = 2, m(b) = 4

Plug in the values into the equation

Average rate of change = $\frac{4 - (-12)}{2 - (-2)}$

= $\frac{16}{4}$

Average rate of change = 4

✔️ Average rate of change of n(x) over [-2, 2]:

Average rate of change = $\frac{n(b) - n(a)}{b - a}$

Where,

a = -2, n(a) = -6

b = 2, n(b) = 6

Plug in the values into the equation

Average rate of change = $\frac{6 - (-6)}{2 - (-2)}$

= $\frac{12}{4}$

Average rate of change = 3

✔️ Average rate of change of q(x) over [-2, 2]:

Average rate of change = $\frac{q(b) - q(a)}{b - a}$

Where,

a = -2, q(a) = -4

b = 2, q(b) = -12

Plug in the values into the equation

Average rate of change = $\frac{-12 - (-4)}{2 - (-2)}$

= $\frac{-8}{4}$

Average rate of change = -2

✔️ Average rate of change of p(x) over [-2, 2]:

Average rate of change = $\frac{p(b) - p(a)}{b - a}$

Where,

a = -2, p(a) = 12

b = 2, p(b) = -4

Plug in the values into the equation

Average rate of change = $\frac{-4 - 12}{2 - (-2)}$

= $\frac{-16}{4}$

Average rate of change = -4

The answer is D. Only p(x) has an average rate of change of -4 over [-2, 2]

An experiment is to be conducted using environmentally safe peppermint oil to study the effectiveness of deterring mice from inf

shutvik [7]

Answer:

Option E is correct.

- Treatments: how the peppermint oil is dispersed

- Experimental unit: mice

- Response variable: number of mice in the dwellings

Step-by-step explanation:

The treatments in this type of statistical experiment refers to the part of the experiment that is tweaked, controlled or varied in the cases being studied. In this experiment, the method of essential oil dispersal is what is varied in the two experimental cases of this study.

Experimental Unit refers to the subject matters, who are participants in the experiment. They are the ones that the effect of the treatments is tested upon.

For this study, the experimental units are the mice subjected to either of the two methods of peppermint oil dispersal.

The response variable is how the experimental units (participants) respond to the treatments (experimental tweaks). Or how the tweaks manifest observable results in the participants of the study. For this study, the effect of the tweaks in the mice is shown in the number of mice that remain in each dwelling (where the two methods of peppermint oil dispersal have been implemented). Hence, the response variable is the number of mice in each dwelling.

Hope this Helps!!!

A rectangle has vertices at these coordinates. (−6, 3), (−6, 5), (2, 3) What are the coordinates of the fourth vertex of the rec

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

(2, 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the line joining the first 2 points = (5 - 3) = 2 units. This is a vertical line because the 2 x coordinates ( -6 and - 6) are equal.

The line joining ( -6 , 3) and (2 , 3) is horizontal and is 2 - -6 = 8 units long.

Because we have a rectangle the point we need to find must have x coordinate of 2 and the y coordinate will be 2 more than the y coordinate 3.

.So it is (2, 5),
