One of the rules in a public speaking contest requires contestants to speak for as close to 55 minutes (300(300 seconds)) as pos

sible. Contestants lose 33 points for each second they speak either over or under 55 minutes. Which expression below can be used to determine the number of points a contestant loses if she speaks for xx seconds? Choose 1 answer: 3|x-300|

Solution:

Duration of time for which a contestant have to speak = 5 minutes (300 Seconds)

Point lost by a contestant for over-speaking that is for more than 5 minutes for each second = 3 points

Point lost by a contestant for speaking less than 5 minutes on each second = 3 points

So, the expression which can determine ,the number of points a contestant loses if she speaks for x seconds.

⇒Number of points a contestant loses if she speaks for x seconds=3 \times\left |x-300 \right |

For, example if a contestant speaks for 290 seconds,Points lost by contestant = 3 \times\left |290-300 \right |=3 × 10= 30 Points

If a contestant speaks for 305 seconds,Points lost by contestant = 3 \times\left |305-300 \right |=3 × 5= 15 Points

Option (A)= 3 \times\left |x-300 \right | is right choice describing above situation.

Reuben​ says, "two days ago i was 20 years old. later next​ year, i will be 23 years​ old." how is this​ possible?
Aneli [31]
Let us always base on the present age. We denote this by x. Now, the age he had 2 years ago would then be denoted as (x-2). Let's equate this to 20 years old.

x - 2 = 20
x = 20 + 2
x = 22 years old
He should be 22 years old now.

Let's check the other condition. After 1 year, his age should be (x+1). Let's equate this to 23 years old.

x + 1 = 23
x = 23 - 1
x = 22


Thus, this is possible if Reuben is 22 years old as of the present.

Identify the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of each linear equation.<br> 52. 3x+4y=24
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

  [1]    3x - 4y = -24

  [2]    -x - 16y = -52

Graphic Representation of the Equations :

   -4y + 3x = -24        -16y - x = -52  

 

Solve by Substitution :

// Solve equation [2] for the variable  x

 [2]    x = -16y + 52

// Plug this in for variable  x  in equation [1]

  [1]    3•(-16y+52) - 4y = -24

  [1]     - 52y = -180

// Solve equation [1] for the variable  y

  [1]    52y = 180

  [1]    y = 45/13

// By now we know this much :

   x = -16y+52

   y = 45/13

// Use the  y  value to solve for  x

   x = -16(45/13)+52 = -44/13

Solution :

{x,y} = {-44/13,45/13}

For 300 trading​ days, the daily closing price of a stock​ (in $) is well modeled by a Normal model with mean ​$196.99 and stand
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

a) 2.5% b) 84% c) 95% d) D. The more unusual day is if the stock closed below $185 because it has the largest absolute z-score.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a) b) and c) we will use the empirical rule, so, we can observe the image shown below

a) 211.23 is exactly two standard deviation above the mean, so, the probability that on a randomly selected day in this period the stock price closed above 211.23 is 2.35% + 0.15% = 2.5%  

b) 204.11 represents exactly one standard deviation above the mean, so, the probability of being below 204.11 is 50% + 34% = 84%

c) The probability of getting a value between 182.75 and 211.23 is 95%, this because 182.75 is exactly two standard deviations below the mean and 211.23 is exactly two standard deviations above the mean.

d) The z-score related to 208 is z_{1} = (208-196.99)/7.12 = 1.5 and the z-score related to 185 is  z_{2} = (185-196.99)/7.12 = -1.7, therefore, the more unusual day is if the stock closed below $185 because it has the largest absolute z-score.
