Mean = 12000
Standard Deviation = 2000

We have to find how many standard deviations is 14,500 away from the mean.
This can be achieved by calculating the z-score

Z-score tells us how many standard deviations above or below is a sample value from the mean. A positive z value shows, sample value is above the mean.

z score can be calculated as = (Sample Value - Mean )/Standard Deviation)
So,
Z-score = \frac{14500-12000}{2000} =1.25

This means, 14,500 is 1.25 standard deviations above the mean value 12,000.

On Naomi's cell phone plan, the amount she pays each month for international text messages is proportional to the number of inte
egoroff_w [7]

A. Constant of proportionality in this proportional relationship is; k=5

B. Equation to represent this proportional relationship is : c=t/k

Step-by-step explanation:

A.Given that : the amount she pays each month for international text messages is proportional to the number of international texts she sends, then

$3.20 k = 16  ---------where k is the constant of proportionality

k= 16/3.20 =5

k=5

B. Let c be the cost of sending the texts per month and t be the number of texts sent per month , so

c=t/k

c=t/5 ---------- is the proportionality relationship.

For t=16 , c= 16/5 =$3.20

What is the probability that the spinner lands on an even number or on the unshaded section? one-fifth two-fifths three-fifths f
Tasya [4]

The probability that the spinner lands on an even number or on the unshaded section is; 3/5

<h3>How to find the probability?</h3>

From the spinner attached, we see that the number of sections on the spinner is 5 sections.

Now, we can also see that;

Number of even numbers section = 2

Number of shaded sections = 1

Thus, probability that the spinner lands on an even number or on the unshaded section is;

P(even number or unshaded section) = (2 + 1)/5 = 3/5

1. Is triangle P’Q’R larger or smaller than triangle PQR? Explain how you know
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The length of the line is PQ as this line is parallel to the x - axis. So, the length of the line is the summation of 10 from second quadrant and 20 from first quadrant. So, the sum is 30. Hence the length of the line is 30 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a line segment can be measured by measuring the distance between its two endpoints. It is the path between the two points with a definite length that can be measured. Explanation: On a graph, the length of a line segment can be found by using the distance formula between its endpoints.

In the inequality 1/ 2 x - 6 &gt; 10, x represents Todd's age. Which phrase most accurately describes Todd's age? A) Todd is old
Tom [10]

Answer:

Option A) Todd is older than 32

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

\frac{1}{2}x-6>10

Solve for x

Adds 6 both sides

\frac{1}{2}x>10+6\\\\\frac{1}{2}x>16

Multiply by 2 both sides

x>32

so

Todd's age is greater than 32

therefore

Todd is older than 32
