A student was performing an experiment that compared a new protein food to the old food for goldfish. He found the mean weight g

ain for the new food to be 12.8 grams with a standard deviation of 3.5 grams. Later he realized that the scale was out of calibration by 1.5 grams (meaning that the scale weighted items 1.5 grams too much). What should the mean and standard deviation be for the new food

Answer:

Mean = 11.3 grams

Standard Deviation = 3.5 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is affected by change of origin but standard deviation is not affected. Hence the scale weighed items 1.5 grams affect only the mean not standard deviation. Hence, the mean for new food item is 12.8 - 1.5 = 11.3 grams as weight gain by 1.5 gram due to wrong calibration and the standard deviation remains the same as 3.5 grams.

The cost of one pound of bananas is greater than $0.41 and less than $0.50. Sarah pays $3.40 for x pounds of bananas. Which ineq
vredina [299]

Answer:

0.41<3.40/x<0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the cost of one pound of bananas is greater than $0.41 and less than $0.50. That is,

If the cost of one banana is P, then, the inequality will be

0.41 < P < 0.50

Sarah pays $3.40 for x pounds of bananas. The inequality that represents the range of possible pounds purchased will be achieved by below

3.40/0.41 = 8.29

3.40/0.50 = 6.8

Therefore, the inequality that represents the range of possible pounds purchased is

6 < x < 9 this is the same as 0.41<3.40/x<0.50

If f(x) = 2x – 6 and g(x) = x – 22, find each value.
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you made a typo. g(x) should equal x - 2 not x - 22

g(x) =  x - 2

g(-1) = -1 - 2

g(-1) = - 3

The answer is d. Otherwise there is no answer.

Answer:

k=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write the left hand side as a negative power, and 9 as a power of 3:

3^-^k=3^2 At this point, for the equality to still stand, the exponents have to be equal:

-k = 2 \rightarrow k=-2
