The life of a manufacturer's compact fluorescent light bulbs is normal, with mean 12,000 hours and standard deviation 2,000 hour

s. Seth wants to find the probability that a light bulb he purchased from this manufacturer will last no more than 14,500 hours.

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.

A portion of the graph of f(x) = −x2 − 2x + 8 is shown. Which of the following describes all solutions for f(x)?
Naily [24]

Answer:

(x,-x^2-2x+8) where −5 ≤ x ≤ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is f(x)=-x^2-2x+8.

We want to select the option that describes all the solutions to the parabola.

The domain of the parabola is −5 ≤ x ≤ 3.

This means that  any x=a on −5 ≤ x ≤ 3 that satisfies (a,f(a)), is a solution.

This can be rewritten as (a,-a^2-2a+8)

Therefore for x belonging to −5 ≤ x ≤ 3, all solutions are given by:

(x,-x^2-2x+8) where −5 ≤ x ≤ 3.

The value of a small airplane depreciates exponentially every year after it is purchased. The value, in thousands of dollars, a(
ratelena [41]

Using an exponential function, it is found that the number 131.5 represents the initial value of the plane, in thousands of dollars.

<h3>Exponential function:</h3>

A decaying exponential function is modeled by:

A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t

In which:

  • A(0) is the initial value.
  • r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

In this problem, the function for the value of the airplane after t years is given by:

A(t) = 131.5(0.8)^t

Hence A(0) = 131.5, which means that the number 131.5 represents the initial value of the plane, in thousands of dollars.

write the slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the point (1,0) and is parallel to x-y=7. type your answer in the
Brilliant_brown [7]
  • Parallel lines have the same slope but different y intercepts.
  • turn x-y=7 into slope intercept form by isolating y which would be -y=-x+7
  • divide the equation by -1 in order to make y positive and you get y=x-7
  • So rewrite the equation with the same slope but this time solving for b
  • y=x+b
  • plug in your coordinates
  • 0=1+b
  • subtract 1 from both sides
  • -1=b
  • so your equation would be
  • y=x-1
