Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

We can approach this problem through the formula for distance between points, but I can think of a more easier approach. This line forms a triangle with the x and y axis, a right triangle with the legs being 2 and 1 units. The line with which we must find the distance of acts as the hypotenuse of this triangle, so let us apply Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the length of the line;

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2,\\( 1 )^2 + ( 2 )^2 = c^2,\\\\1 + 4 = c^2,\\c^2 = 5,\\\\c = ( About ) 2.2$

Solution; Option B

The diameter of a cookie is 2 inches. If π = 3.14, what is the area of the cookie, rounded to the nearest tenth?

insens350 [35]

Answer:

3.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the cookie =Pi r^2

Pi = 3.14

Diameter = 2inches

Radius r = diameter/2 = 2/2

= 1

Therefore

Area = 3.14 x 1^2

= 3.14 x 1 x 1

= 3.1 inches

A used car has a value of $15,250 when it is purchased in 2012. The value of the car decreases at a rate of 7.5% per year. Write

horrorfan [7]

7.5% is 3/40. The equation is y=15250(1-3/40)ˣ=15250(37/40)ˣ.
When x=8 this becomes $8173.42.

Find the distance between the given points: (2, -2) and (-4, 7)

sasho [114]

Answer:

$3\sqrt{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We want to find the distance between the points (2, -2) and (-4, 7).

To do that, we can use the distance formula.

The distance formula is given as $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$ , where $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ are points

We have everything needed to find the distance, but let's label the values of the points to avoid any confusion

$x_1=2\\y_1=-2\\x_2=-4\\y_2=7$

Now substitute those values into the formula and solve

$\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

$\sqrt{(-4-2)^2+(7--2)^2}$

Simplify

$\sqrt{(-4-2)^2+(7+2)^2}$

$\sqrt{(-6)^2+(9)^2}$

Square the numbers under the radical

$\sqrt{36+81}$

Add the numbers under the radical together

$\sqrt{117}$

Simplify the square root

$3\sqrt{13}$

Hope this helps!

The service department of a luxury car dealership conducted research on the amount of time its service technicians spend on each

mart [117]

Answer:

Probability that the mean service time is between 1 and 2 hours is 0.96764.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a systematic random sample of 100 service appointments has been collected.

The 100 appointments showed an average preparation time of 90 minutes with a standard deviation of 140 minutes.

Let $\bar X$ = sample mean service time

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = average preparation time = 90 minutes

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 140 minutes

n = sample of appointments = 100

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

Now, probability that the mean service time is between 60 and 120 minutes is given by = P(60 minutes < $\bar X$ < 120 minutes)

P(60 minutes < $\bar X$ < 120 minutes) = P( $\bar X$ < 120 min) - P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 60 min)

P( $\bar X$ < 120 min) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{120-90}{\frac{140}{\sqrt{100} } }$ ) = P(Z < 2.14) = 0.98382

P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 60 min) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ $\leq$ $\frac{60-90}{\frac{140}{\sqrt{100} } }$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -2.14) = 1 - P(Z < 2.14)

= 1 - 0.98382 = 0.01618

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.14 in the z table which has an area of 0.98382.

Therefore, P(60 min < $\bar X$ < 120 min) = 0.98382 - 0.01618 = 0.96764
