Answer:

A. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

It says that the sample is normally distributed, which means it follows the bell curve in terms of spreading.  That means that 68% of the numbers are within two standard deviations, centered on the mean, one standard deviation below, one up.

That's confirmed by the fact that 1,360 numbers (exactly 68% of 2,000) are between 40 and 50.  Since the mean is 45, that gives a spread of ± 1 standard deviation for 68% of the numbers.

One standard deviation goes from 40 to 45, another from 45 to 50.

So, the standard deviation of this sample is 5.

This is for union and intersection. I need help.
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Problem 11) Start with set U = {1,2,3,4,5} and cross off 1,2,3 to be left with A' = {4,5}. We basically erase everything found in set A. You have the correct answer. Nice job.

Problem 12) Start with U = {1,2,3,4,5} and erase '5' to be left with {1,2,3,4}. So B' = {1,2,3,4}. You are correct here as well.

I can't help with the other problems since either letters, numbers or symbols are missing. Please make a new post and provide those updates.

SAT Math Question
mariarad [96]

I'm tentatively changing my answer to say this kind of relies on practical knowledge of how stores tend to operate. If 20 coupons are given out, the store has sold all 500 shirts, arguably at a loss to the retailer. They have to have more shirts in stock to be sold at full price because, well, that's how they make money. It's more likely that such a store would carry more than just 500 shirts at the start of each day, so A is (probably) wrong.

What is a function in math i am stuck on what the slope is and other things like it.
Vlad [161]
A function is something that lets you work out what something is depending a variable


e.g: x = y + 5


this function states that the unknown x is equal to whatever the variable y is plus 5
