in a class of 32 students the mean height of the 14 boys is 1.56 meters and the mean height of all 32 students is 1.151 meters.

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: Hence, Mean height of the girls is: 1.48

Step-by-step explanation: It is given that:

in a class of 32 students .

the mean height of 14 boys is 1.56 and the mean height of all 32 students is 1.515.

Since there are 14 boys in a class.

So, number of girls is equal to (32-14)=18.

The mean height of 14 boys is 1.56.

Hence the sum of height of 14 boys is= 1.56×14=21.84

Similarly mean height of 32 students is 1.515.

Hence, sum of height of 32 students=1.515×32=48.48.

Let x denote the mean height of 18 girls.

Hence, sum of height of 18 girls is: 18 x.

Now,

18x+21.84=48.48

( since sum of height of girls and boys is equal to the sum of height of all the students)

so, 18x=48.48-21.84

18 x=26.64

Hence, x=1.48

Hence, Mean height of the girls is: 1.48

Taryn is shopping for a Christmas tree. At Home Depot the one she likes is $149.00 and she has a 15% off coupon. At Lowe's the o

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At home depot

Price of Christmas tree = $149.00

Discount = 15%

Amount discounted = 15% of $149

Amount discounted = 15/100 * $149

Amount discounted = 15 * 1.49

Amount discounted = $22.35

Amount she paid = $149-$22.35

Amount she paid = $126.65

At Lowe's:

Price of Christmas tree = $175.00

Discount = 260%

Amount discounted = 20% of $175

Amount discounted = 20/100 * $175

Amount discounted = 0.2 * 175

Amount discounted = $35

Amount she paid = $175-$35

Amount she paid at Lowe's = $140

From the prices above, it can be seen that Home Depot has a better deal since the price after removing discount is lower than that of Lowe's.

Amount she will save will be $140 - $126.65 = $13.35

Help Please Find The Surface Area Of The Prism

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

360 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of each face of the triangular prism.

Imagine the triangular prism as its net, it is composed with 2 triangular faces (these are tye bases of the prism) and 3 rectangular faces.

Areas of the 2 triangular bases (they are similar triangles):

1/2 x 8 cm x 6 cm = 24 cm^2

24 x 2 = 48 cm^2

Area of the rectangular face:

8 x 13 = 104 cm^2

Area of another rectangular face:

6 cm x 13 cm = 78 cm^2

Area of another rectangular face:

13 cm x 10 cm = 130 cm^2

Add up all the areas of all faces:

48 + 104 + 78 + 130 = 360

So the SA is 360 cm^2

Solve the system and enter the smallest x-coordinate first

ankoles [38]

Answer:
(2,-3)(6,5)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use substitution to get the equation: x^2-6x+5 = 2x-7
Solve:
x^2-6x+5 = 2x-7
x^2 = 8x-12
x^2-8x+12 = 0 (we now have a polynomial)
(x-6)(x-2) = 0 (set each equation to equal 0 and solve)
x-6 = 0 --> x=6
x-2 = 0 --> x=2
To get the Y coordinates:
y=2(2)-7 --> y = -3
y = 2(6)-7 --> y = 5

Check work:
5 = 6^2-6(6)+5 --> 5 = 36-36 +5 --> 5=5
-3 = 2^2-6(2)+5 --> -3 = 4-12+5 --> -3=-3
