Answer:

y=1/3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe this question is turn in to slope-intercept form. If it's not, please let me know. So slope-intercept form is y=mx+b and on the question, they use standard form. Standard form is Ax+Bx=C. To turn standard form into slope-intercept form, you simply make you're y value alone on one side. So you're going to move x to other side my subtracting x on both sides. -3y=-x-15. Right now, we are almost done. We just have to make y own their self which means that y must me one. To make it as one, you will divide -3 on both sides. y=1/3x+5. Make sure in this step, you have to look very careful with negative numbers. If you multiply or divide negative number to negative number, it turns in the positive. So x-3y=-15 is equal to y=1/3x+5.

Suppose you received a score of 95 out of 100 on exam 1 . The mean was 79 and the standard deviation was 8 . If your score on ex

Schach [20]

Answer:

You did the same on both exams.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare both the scores, we need to compute the z scores of both the exams and then compare the values. The formula for z-score is:

Z = (X - μ)/σ

Where X = score obtained

μ = mean score

σ = standard deviation

For Exam 1:

Z = (95 - 79)/8

= 16/8

Z = 2

For Exam 2:

Z = (90 - 60)/15

= 30/15

Z = 2

The z-scores for both the tests are same hence the third option is correct i.e. you did the same on both exams.

An electronics company makes communication devices for military contracts. The company just completed two contracts. The navy co

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Workers of army contract were more productive.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine on which contract the workers were more productive compute the work done per hour by the workers for both contracts.

Navy Contract:

Number of devices = 2,300

Number of workers = 25

Number of weeks = 2 weeks

Number of hours per week = 40

The number of hours it took 25 workers to produce 2300 devices is =

$=25\times2\times40\\=2000\ hours$

Then number of devices produced in 1 hour is = $\frac{2300}{2000}= 1.15\ devices\ per\ hour$

Army Contract:

Number of devices = 5,500

Number of workers = 35

Number of weeks = 3 weeks

Number of hours per week = 40

The number of hours it took 35 workers to produce 5500 devices is = $=35\times3\times40\\=4200\ hours$

Then number of devices produced in 1 hour is = $\frac{5500}{4200}= 1.31\ devices\ per\ hour$

The workers for the army contract are more productive since they produce 1.31 devices per hour whereas the workers for navy contract produces 1.15 devices per hour.

Jasper made a flag for his football team. He painted 1/2 of the flag blue and 1/2 of the flag yellow. He added stars to 1/3 of t

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

For this case we have that half of the flag was painted blue and the other half yellow.

In addition, a third of the blue half was covered with stars.

So:

$\frac {1} {2} * \frac {1} {3} = \frac {1} {6}$
