Answer:

The correct answer would be A. 15/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is equal to the change in y over the change in x, or rise over run.

m = change in y/change in x

The change in x is equal to the difference in x-coordinates (also called run), and the change in y is equal to the difference in y-coordinates (also called rise).

m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

Substitute in the values of x and y into the equation to find the slope.

m = 5 - (- 10)/- 1 - (- 5)

Simplify.

m = 15/4

What is f(x) = 2x2 + 28x – 5 written in vertex form?

Shalnov [3]

To convert a quadratic from y = ax2 + bx + c form to vertex form, y = a(x - h)2+ k, you use the process of completing the square. We do as follows:

f(x) = 2x^2 + 28x – 5
f(x) = 2(x^2 + 14x) – 5
f(x) = 2(x^2 + 14x + 49) – 5 - 98
f(x) = 2(x + 7)^2 – 103

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Use division to find all the whole number ratios equivalent to 168 : 56

VikaD [51]

168:56 just keep dividing by whole numbers that go into each side. 168/2 and 56/2
84:28, do it again by 2
42:14, and again
21:7, now each can be divided by 7
7:1 is your final ratio

A coffee machine dispenses normally distributed amounts of coffee with a mean of 12 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.2 ounce

NemiM [27]

Answer:

0.9332 = 93.32% probability that the mean of the sample will be less than 12.1 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
