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.

Answer:

The answer is 792.

Step-by-step explanation:

I got the answer by first imagining how the 3d shape looks ike. Since one of the sqaure base length is 11 I found the base surface area by doing 11 times 11.My answer was 132. The since one of the slant length of the pyramid's triangle is 15, I did 11 times 15, my answer was 165. There are four triangles in the pyramid so I did 165 times 4, my answer was 660.

All the triangle surface area is 660 plus the sqaure surface are which is 132, that gave me my answer 792.

Answer:

Step 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The mistake is in step 5.

The previous step was

step \: 4 : 2 + 10 \div 2

The order operations, PEDMAS, must be applied:

We have Addition and Division here,

Using PEDMAS, we must divide first to get:

step \: 5 : 2 + 5

We can now add to get:

step \: 6: 7

Therefore the mistake occurred at step 5
