If x is a rational number and y is the opposite of x,why do x y have the same absolute value?

1 answer:

5 0

They have the same absolute value because all opposites have the same absolut value because they both are the same distance from zero

Expand the following 3(x+9)

mina [271]

Answer: I'm pretty sure its 3x+27

Step-by-step explanation: So all you have to do is multiply everything in the parentheses by 3. So you would do 3 times x and it would be 3x and then 3 times 9 which will get you 27. After you just put it back into a equation 3x+27

The SAT scores have an average of 1200 with a standard deviation of 60. A sample of 36 scores is selected. a) What is the probab

erastova [34]

Answer:

the probability that the sample mean will be larger than 1224 is 0.0082

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The SAT scores have an average of 1200

with a standard deviation of 60

also; a sample of 36 scores is selected

The objective is to determine the probability that the sample mean will be larger than 1224

Assuming X to be the random variable that represents the SAT score of each student.

This implies that ;

$S \sim N ( 1200,60)$

the probability that the sample mean will be larger than 1224 will now be:

$P(\overline X > 1224) = P(\dfrac{\overline X - \mu }{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }> \dfrac{}{}\dfrac{1224- \mu }{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} })$

$P(\overline X > 1224) = P(Z > \dfrac{1224- 1200 }{\dfrac{60}{\sqrt{36}} })$

$P(\overline X > 1224) = P(Z > \dfrac{24 }{\dfrac{60}{6} })$

$P(\overline X > 1224) = P(Z > \dfrac{24 }{10} })$

$P(\overline X > 1224) = P(Z > 2.4 })$

$P(\overline X > 1224) =1 - P(Z \leq 2.4 })$

From Excel Table ; Using the formula (=NORMDIST(2.4))

P(\overline X > 1224) = 1 - 0.9918

P(\overline X > 1224) = 0.0082

Hence; the probability that the sample mean will be larger than 1224 is 0.0082

Which of the lines is perpendicular to the line shown in the graph

Nitella [24]

Answer:

The line passing through (-8, 10) and (-1, 4).

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1. The slope of the line in the picture is $7\over 6$ , so we should find a line with slope of $-6\over 7$ .
