a student found the slope of a line that passes through the points (1,14) and (3,4) to be 5. what mistake did she make?

1 answer:

3 0

$x_{1}=1$
$x_{2}= 3$
$y_{1} =14$
$y_{2}=4$
$Slope= \frac{rise}{run} = \frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{ x_{2} - x_{1} } = \frac{4-14}{3-1} = \frac{-10}{2} =-5$

answer: The student flipped the y values

A certain radioactive isotope has leaked into a small stream. Three hundred days after the leak, 3% of the original amount of t

sesenic [268]

If the half-life is t, then every t days, the amount of the radioactive isotope will be cut in half.
(1/2)^(number of half-lives) = 3%
number of half-lives = ln(0.03) / ln(0.5)
This gives the number of half-lives as 5.06.
Then 300 days = (5.06)(length of 1 half-life)
length of 1 half-life = 300 / 5.06 = 59.29 days

According to a study by de Anna students, the height for Asian adult males is normally distributed with an average of 66 inches

Maslowich

A. X ~ N(66, 6.25)

b. $z_{1} =\frac{65-66}{2.5}=-0.4$
$z_{2} =\frac{69-66}{2.5}=1.2$
Using a standard normal probability table to find probability values for the z-scores, we get:
P(65 < X < 69) = 0.1554 + 0.3849 = 0.5403

c. z= 0.524 and -0.524
$0.524=\frac{X-66}{2.5}$
1.31 = X - 66
X = 67.31
When z = -0.524, X = 64.69.
P(64.69 < X < 67.31) = 0.4
