Answer:

The percentage is P(350 <  X  650 ) = 86.6\%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The population mean is  \mu  =  500

     The standard deviation is  \sigma  =  100

The  percent of people who write this exam obtain scores between 350 and 650    

    P(350 <  X  650 ) =  P(\frac{ 350 -  500}{ 100}

Generally  

               \frac{X -  \mu }{\sigma }  =  Z (The \  standardized \  value \ of  \  X )

   P(350 <  X  650 ) =  P(\frac{ 350 -  500}{ 100}

   P(350 <  X  650 ) =  P(-1.5

   P(350 <  X  650 ) =  P(Z < 1.5) -  P(Z <  -1.5)

From the z-table  P(Z <  -1.5 )  =  0.066807

   and P(Z < 1.5  ) =  0.93319

=>    P(350 <  X  650 ) =  0.93319 -  0.066807

=>  P(350 <  X  650 ) = 0.866

Therefore the percentage is  P(350 <  X  650 ) = 86.6\%

Can someone please answer c. I’ve been trying for 30 mins and can’t understand it
nydimaria [60]

Answer: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

For c, we are given this sum from 1 to 3 of \frac{n^2}{2}. 1/2 is a constant , therefore, we can move it outside of the summation.

*I hope you can understand what I'm saying. I can't figure out how to type in summations into the equations section.

1/2∑₁³n²

This means you would multiply the sum of n² from 1 to 3 by 1/2.

We are told n=1 to n=3 so we would plug 1, 2, 3 into n.

1²=1

2²=4

3²=9

We would add them together since that is what the sum sign tells us to do.

1+4+9=14

Now that we know the sum, we multiply it with 1/2

14/2=7

If you mean the sequence
2,6,14,30,62,126,.....
then your equation will be
a(n) =  {2}^{n + 1}  - 2

Help me solve this algebra 2 question.​
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, this may come out weird on computer, but here we go.

First, you want to change this into a multiplication problem, with Keep change flip. So now it's (c^2-c-20/c^2-6c+5) * (3c-3/c^2-16). You then want to simplify some number down.

You can simplify the first part using the X game (not sure if you know this), but you put the c value at the top, and the B value at the bottom, and the two sides blank. These two values must add to equal the C value, but multiply to equal the B value, so you get -5 and 4 for the numerator of the top. Following this formula, and using difference of perfect squares, you'll end up with the following.

(c-5)(c+4)/(c-5)(c-1) * 3(c-1)/(c+4)(c-4)

You then need to cancel out your different groups, so you'll cancel out (c-5), (c+4), (c-1).

After all that, you'll end up with 3/c-4, so the answer is A.

Answer: Choice B

rose bush: $10, shrub: $4

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

Work Shown:

x = cost for one rose bush

y = cost for one shrub

Rob's equation: 8x+5y = 100

Amy's equation: 8x+8y = 112

Subtract the equations straight down (match terms)

8x - 8x = 0x = 0, x terms go away

5y-8y = -3y

100-112 = -12

After those three subtractions, we end up with this new equation: -3y = -12

That equation solves to y = 4 when you divide both sides by -3

Use this value of y to find x

8x+5y = 100

8x+5(4) = 100 ... replace y with 4

8x+20 = 100

8x+20-20 = 100-20 .... subtract 20 from both sides

8x = 80

8x/8 = 80/8 ... divide both sides by 8

x = 10

We end up with x = 10 and y = 4 pairing up. The two equations, when graphed, cross at the location (10,4). One rose bush costs $10 and one shrub costs $4.
