The ages of dogs at an animal shelter are normally distributed with a mean of 3.9 years and a standard deviation of 1.2 years.

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is A.  1.86 years</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Mean of the dogs at an animal shelter = 3.9 years

Standard deviation = 1.2 years

2. What is the age of a dog at the shelter with a z-score of −1.7 ?

Let's recall that z-score in a normal distribution, positive or negative, is the number of times of the standard deviation a certain element is from the mean. If the element is below the mean, then the z-score is negative and if it's above the mean, then the z-score is positive.

Therefore, a z-score of - 1.7 for the ages of dogs is:

-1.7 * 1.2 = -2.04

Now, we calculate the value using the mean, this way:

3.9 + -2.04 = 3.9 - 2.04 = 1.86

<u>The correct answer is A.  1.86 years</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 9x-3=60°{each angle of equilateral triangle is 60°}
  • 9x=60+3
  • x=63/9
  • x=7

so,

  • 9x-3
  • 9×7-3
  • 63-3
  • 60°

hope it helps.

LAST ATTEMPT MARKING AS BRAINLIEST!! ( graph the image of the figure using the dilation given)
Natali5045456 [20]
<h3>Answers:</h3>

W(-2,-1) \to \\W \ ' \ (-4,4)\\\\X(0,2) \to \\X \ ' \ (0,4)\\\\Y(3,-1) \to \\Y \ ' \ (6,-2)\\\\V(-2,-1) \to \\V \ ' \ (-4,-2)\\\\

=====================================================

Explanation:

The scale factor is 2, which means we double each coordinate of each point. The general rule is (x,y) \to (kx,ky) with k = 2. So we can say the more specific dilation rule is (x,y) \to (2x,2y)

Something like W(-2,2) moves to W ' (-4, 4) after multiplying each coordinate by 2. Do the same for the other points as well.

The given preimage points

  • V = (-2, -1)
  • W = (-2, 2)
  • X = (0, 2)
  • Y = (3, -1)

will dilate to the corresponding image points

  • V ' = (-4, -2)
  • W ' = (-4, 4)
  • X ' = (0, 4)
  • Y ' = (6, -2)

as shown below. This causes the image to be larger compared to the preimage (since the scale factor is larger than 1). Any given point is twice as far from the origin as compared to before, which in turn means the distance between any two points is twice as much.

Plz find the slope plzzzz
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The slope would be rise over run so you go from point A and rise 4 then go over 8

So 4/8, then to simplify this it would be 1/2, so your slope is 1/2
