Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation: It's important to understand what absolute value really means and that is the absolute value of a number represents that numbers distance from zero on a number line.

The absolute value of -4 is 4. The reason the absolute value of -4 is 4 is that if we graph -4 down here on the number line, you can see that its distance from zero is 4 units.

I have attached a number line below showing the absolute value of -4

if A and B together can do a piece of work in 10 days and B along can do it in 15 days, how many part of the work does A complet

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Well work can be defined as: $work = rate \ *\ time$

where rate=amount of work that can be done in one unit of time

let a = rate of work A does in a day

let b = rate of work B does in a day

this means that: $10a + 10b=1$ where work=1 and it just means the entire job has been completed.

Since b can do it alone in 15 days, this means that: $15b=1$

If we divide by 15 here, we get the equation: $b=\frac{1}{15}$

We can now use this definition to substitute it into the first equation we made.

$10a + 10(\frac{1}{15}) = 1$

Multiply the 10 and 1/15

$10a+\frac{2}{3}=1$

subtract 2/3 from both sides

$10a=\frac{1}{3}$

Now divide both sides by 10

$a=\frac{1}{30}$

Now multiply this by 6, since we a represents the amount of work that can be done in a day, we want to find how many parts of the work can be done by a in 6 days

$6a=\frac{6}{30}$

Now divide both the numerator and denominator by 6

$a=\frac{1}{5}$

Based on the model N(11541154,8686) describing steer weights, what are the cutoff values for a) the highest 10% of the we

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

a) x = 1225.68

b) x = 1081.76

c) 1109.28 < x < 1198.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Th random variable X for steer weight follows a normal distribution:

X~ N( 1154 , 86 )

Find:

a) the highest 10% of the weights?

b) the lowest 20% of the weights?

c) the middle 40% of the weights?

Solution:

We will compute the corresponding Z-value for highest cut off 10%:

Z @ 0.10 = 1.28

Z = (x-u) / sd

Where,

u: Mean of the distribution.

s.d: Standard deviation of the distribution.

1.28 = (x - 1154) / 86

x = 1.28*86 + 1154

x = 1225.68

We will compute the corresponding Z-value for lowest cut off 20%:

-Z @ 0.20 = -0.84

Z = (x-u) / sd

-0.84 = (x - 1154) / 86

x = -0.84*86 + 1154

x = 1081.76

We will compute the corresponding Z-value for middle cut off 40%:

Z @ 0.3 = -0.52

Z @ 0.7 = 0.52

[email protected] < x < [email protected]

-.52*86 + 1154 < x < 0.52*86 + 1154

1109.28 < x < 1198.72
