Answer:

z-score for a value of 165 is + 1.73 times the standard deviation

The correct answer is B. 1.73

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Mean of the normal distribution = 143

Standard deviation = 12.7

2. What is the z-score of 165?

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, 165 will have the following z-score:

165 - 143 = 22 and it's above the mean.

Now, we calculate the z-score, using the value of the standard deviation this way:

22/12.7 = 1.73

z-score for a value of 165 is + 1.73 times the standard deviation

The correct answer is B. 1.73

What is the sum V of the twelve vectors that go from the center of a clock to

QveST [7]

A. All cancel to produce the 0 vector.
b. Each one cancels its opposite except the 8:00 vector which is no longer cancelled by 2:00.
c. 2:00 is 1/3 of the way up from 3:00 x-axis to 12:00 y-axis so fie = pi/6
v= (cos pi/6, sin pi/6) = sqrt 3/2, 1/2

a_{10} = \frac{177147}{65536} is solution of arithmetic progression (AP).

What is arithmetic progression (AP) in math?

The difference between any two consecutive numbers in an arithmetic progression (AP) is always a fixed amount.
The AP cost per invoice is calculated by dividing the total number of invoices paid over a certain time period by all the expenditures incurred to pay those invoices over that same time period.
An accurate assessment of a company's AP efficiency can be made using this metric in conjunction with other accounts payable measures.

Write the general term through the pattern $a_{n} = 36( \frac{3}{4} )^{n-1}$
