A 12-inch candle is lit and steadily burns until it is burned out. As the burned length of the candle increases from 4 to 7.5 in

ches, the remaining length of the candle varies from inches to inches. Suppose b represents the burned length of the candle in inches (or the number of inches that have burned from the candle since it was lit). Write an expression in terms of b that represents the remaining length of the candle (in inches).

Answer:

The remaining length of the candle varies from 8 inches to 4.5 inches.

The required expression is: r=12-b

Where, b represents the burned length and r represents the remaining length.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.  

A 12-inch candle is lit and steadily burns until it is burned out.

The length of the candle is 12 in.

The burned length of the candle is 4 in.

That means the remaining length is 12 - 4 = 8 in

The burned length of the candle is 7.5 in.

That means the remaining length is 12 - 7.5 = 4.5 in

Hence, the remaining length of the candle varies from 8 inches to 4.5 inches.

Suppose b represents the burned length of the candle in inches (or the number of inches that have burned from the candle since it was lit) and r represents the the remaining length of the candle (in inches).

The required expression is: r=12-b

Newborn males have weights with a mean of 3272.8 g and a standard deviation of 660.2 g. Newborn females have weights with a mean
Maksim231197 [3]

The correct option is:   a female who weighs 1500 g

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

<u>Formula for finding the z-score</u> is:  z= \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

Newborn males have weights with a mean(\mu) of 3272.8 g and a standard deviation(\sigma) of 660.2 g.

So, the z-score for the newborn male who weighs 1500 g will be.......

z(X=1500)=\frac{1500-3272.8}{660.2}=-2.685... \approx -2.69

According to the normal distribution table,  P(z=-2.69)=0.0036 = 0.36\%

Now, newborn females have weights with a mean(\mu) of 3037.1 g and a standard deviation(\sigma) of 706.3 g.


So, the z-score for the newborn female who weighs 1500 g will be.......

z(X=1500)=\frac{1500-3037.1}{706.3}=-2.176... \approx -2.18

According to the normal distribution table,  P(z=-2.18)=0.0146 = 1.46\%

As we can see that the <u>probability that a newborn female has weight of 1500 g is greater than newborn male</u>,  so a newborn female has the weight of 1500 g that is more extreme relative to the group from which he came.
