The answer is 50%.

Divide 2.25 by 1.50. That equals 1.5. That’s the equivalent to 50% because if you subtract 1 from 1.5 and multiply by 100. You get the same answer. Only do that for numbers greater than one, otherwise it won’t work

Question The set {78, 55, 22, 16, 84, 75, 33, 69, 58, 59} represents the number of stones in ten pouches. What is the midrange o

Citrus2011 [14]

<h3>Answer: 50</h3>

Explanation:

The original set

{78, 55, 22, 16, 84, 75, 33, 69, 58, 59}

sorts to

{16, 22, 33, 55, 58, 59, 69, 75, 78, 84}

The min and max are 16 and 84 respectively

Midrange = (min + max)/2 = (16+84)/2 = 50

Find all the integers,b, that make up the trinomial x2 + bx + 10 factorable.

KonstantinChe [14]

By the fundamental theorem of algebra, we can write

$x^2+bx+10=(x-r_1)(x-r_2)$

Expanding the right hand side, we get

$x^2+bx+10=x^2-(r_1+r_2)x+r_1r_2\implies\begin{cases}r_1+r_2=-b\\r_1r_2=10\end{cases}$

We want $b$ to be an integer, which means $r_1,r_2$ must also be integers. This means $r_1,r_2$ must be factors of 10. There are several possibilities:

$r_1=\pm10,r_2=\pm1\implies b=-(10+1)=-11\text{ or }b=-(-10-1)=11$

$r_1=\pm5,r_2=\pm2\implies b=-(5+2)=-7\text{ or }b=-(-5-2)=7$

So there are 4 possible values for $b$ : -11, -7, 7, and 11.

Write the equation g(x) of the transformation of the parent graph f(x) = |x| stretched vertically by a factor of 2, reflected ov

Otrada [13]

Answer:

g(x) = -2|x+1| -3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = |x|

y = f(x) + C C < 0 moves it down

y = |x| -3 for shifting down 3

y = f(x + C) C > 0 moves it left

y = |x+1| -3 for move it left 1

y = Cf(x) C > 1 stretches it in the y-direction

y = 2|x+1| -3 to stretch it 2 vertically

y = −f(x) Reflects it about x-axis

y = -2|x+1| -3

The number of books borrowed from a library each week follows a normal distribution. When a sample is taken for several weeks, t

12345 [234]

1 SD away from mean is 68% of data.
2 SD away from mean is 95% of data.
3 SD away from mean is 99.7% of data.

1 SD away:
190+30=220

2 SD away:
220+30=250

This shows we are on the outer 5 percent of the normal distribution.
Since you said "more", that means we only look at the right side of your 5%, which is only 2.5%

answer is D, 2.5%
