What does the statement |a| = 3 mean?

Mathematics
1 answer:
marishachu [46]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The statement |a| = 3 means that the absolute value of a is equal to 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement |a| = 3 means that the absolute value of a is equal to 3.

The absolute value function f(x) = |x| is defined as  

f(x) = x when x ≥ 0 and  

f(x) = -x when x < 0

So, in this case the value of a can be 3 or -3.

If a = 3, then |a| = a = 3 as a ≥ 0 and if a = - 3 , then |a| = - a = - ( - 3) = 3 as a < 0. (Answer)

In 2013, a study found that U.S. consumers consumed soft drinks with a mean of 42.2 gallons per year and variance of 169. Ninety
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Ninety-five percent of consumers in the U.S. consumed less than 63.59 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value 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. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, so \sigma = \sqrt{169} = 13

Also, the mean is 42.2, so \mu = 42.2

Ninety-five percent of consumers in the U.S. consumed less than how many gallons?

The 95th percentile, which is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95. So X when Z = 1.645

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.645 = \frac{X - 42.2}{13}

X - 42.2 = 13*1.645

X = 63.59

Ninety-five percent of consumers in the U.S. consumed less than 63.59 gallons.
