Answer:
900 g
Step-by-step explanation:
let e be extension and w be weight
given e varies directly as w then the equation relating them is
e = kw ← k is the constant of variation
to find k use the condition w = 150 , e = 2.9 , then
2.9 = 150k ( divide both sides by 150 )
= k , that is
k = 
e = w ← equation of variation
when e = 17.4 , then
17.4 = w ( multiply both sides by 1500 )
26100 = 29w ( divide both sides by 29 )
900 = w
3/4 times x=2
times both sides by 4/3 to clear fraction (4/3 times 3/4=12/12=1)
1x=8/3
there are 8/3 of them in 2
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Z = (X-Mean)/SD
<span>z1 = (165 - 150)/15 = +1 </span>
<span>z2 = (135 - 150)/15 = - 1 </span>
<span>According to the Empirical Rule 68-95-99.7 </span>
<span>Mean +/- 1SD covers 68% of the values </span>
<span>100% - 68% = 32% </span>
<span>The remaining 32% is equally distributed below z = - 1 and z = +1 </span>
<span>32%/2 = 16%
</span>
<span>Therefore,
</span>
<span>a) Number of men weighing more than 165 pounds = 16% of 1000 = 160 </span>
<span>b) Number of men weighing less than 135 pounds = 16% of 1000 = 160</span>
