Four students have applied to a special program and only one can be accepted. They have taken a battery of 12 tests and all have

exactly the same average score. The standard deviation of their test scores are: Student A = 3.12, Student B = 0.27, Student C = 13.45, Student D = 6.45. If consistency of performance is a criteria for acceptance, which of the four students should be selected?

Answer:B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Every student secure same average score

Standard deviation is denoted by \sigma

\sigma _A=3.12

\sigma _B=0.27

\sigma _C=13.45

\sigma _D=6.45

Consistency is criteria of acceptance then Student should be selected the standard deviation is least for student B.

Standard deviation tells how a data varies from mean Position .

More Deviation from mean indicates less consistency .

A bakery sells, on average, 100 special breads per day and collects with these sales, on average, R $ 300.00. It was found that
Vlad [161]

If the price is p and the quantity of bread sold is q = 400 - 100p, the average collection, in reais, depending on the price p, is given by R (p) = (400 - 100p). P

For this collection to be R $ 300.00, you must have:

(400 - 100p). p = 300 ⇔ 4p - p² = 3 ⇔ p² - 4p + 3 = 0 ⇔ p = 1 or p = 3

R $ 300.00

The current price is R $ 3.00, as R $ 300,000 / 100 = R $ 3

To maintain the collection, the price must be lowered to R $ 1.00 (R $ 0.50 <R $ 1.00 <R $ 1.50)

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!
Arisa [49]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of iron, y represent the amount of potassium and z represent the amount of mulch.

Since the supplement weighs 16 lb, hence:

x + y + z = 16          (1)

Also supplement contains thirteen times as much mulch as iron. Therefore:

x = 13z

x - 13z = 0     (2)

The supplement also has twice as much potassium as iron, hence:

x = 2y

x - 2y = 0          (3)

solving equations 1, 2 and 3 simultaneously gives:

x = 10.1 lb, y = 5.1 lb, z = 0.8 lb

This means that the soil supplement contains 0.8 lb of mulch

State what method you are using to solve the system. Then solve the system. Show all steps of your work, clearly state your answ
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The method used is substitution method

x = 2, y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the simultaneous equation

Y = −3x .....  1

4x + y = 2 ... 2

Substitute equation 1 into 2

4x + (-3x) = 2

4x - 3x = 2

x = 2

Get y:

y = -3x

y = -3(2)

y = -6

<em>Hence the value of (x, y) is (2, -6)</em>

<em></em>

If f(x)= 3x2 and g(x) = x+2, find (f.g)(x).
vovangra [49]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the two functions:

f(x) = 3x^2 \text{ and } g(x) = x+2

And we want to find:

( f\cdot g)(x)

Recall that this is equivalent to:

\displaystyle (f \cdot g)(x) = f(x) \cdot g(x)

Substitute and evaluate:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (f\cdot g)(x) &= (3x^2)(x+2) \\ \\ &= 3x^2(x) + 3x^2(2) \\ \\ &= 3x^3 + 6x^2 \end{aligned}

In conclusion, our answer is A.
