Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

15-3=12

12/2=6

you have to take away 3 for the bucket then you are left with 12 being from the bricks so you divide by 2 ending with 6 bricks being in the bucket

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that of persons who usually work full-time, the average number of hours worked per w

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The standard deviation of number of hours worked per week for these workers is 3.91.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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

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

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. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem we have that:

The average number of hours worked per week is 43.4, so $\mu = 43.4$ .

Suppose 12% of these workers work more than 48 hours. Based on this percentage, what is the standard deviation of number of hours worked per week for these workers.

This means that the Z score of $X = 48$ has a pvalue of 0.88. This is Z between 1.17 and 1.18. So we use $Z = 1.175$ .

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

$1.175 = \frac{48 - 43.4}{\sigma}$

$1.175\sigma = 4.6$

$\sigma = \frac{4.6}{1.175}$

$\sigma = 3.91$

The standard deviation of number of hours worked per week for these workers is 3.91.

Find the minimum value if f(x) = xe^x over [-2,0]

SashulF [63]

Given function:

$f(x)=xe^x$

The minimum value of the function can be found by setting the first derivative of the function to zero.

$f^{\prime}(x)=xe^x+e^x$ $\begin{gathered} xe^x+e^x\text{ = 0} \\ e^x(x\text{ + 1) = 0} \end{gathered}$

Solving for x:

$\begin{gathered} x\text{ + 1 = 0} \\ x\text{ = -1} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} e^x\text{ = 0} \\ \text{Does not exist} \end{gathered}$

Substituting the value of x into the original function:

$\begin{gathered} f(x=1)=-1\times e^{^{-1}}_{} \\ =\text{ -}0.368 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the minimum value in the given range is (-1, -0.368)

What is symmetric property of equality? What is the answer to this problem?

umka21 [38]

The symmetric property of equality states that if two variables exist and a = b, then b = a.

So, your answer would be C (If a = b, then b = a)! :D

Given vectors a and b, which operation does the green vector show? options: 2a + b

monitta

If we treat b sliding vector, then head of green vector coincide with tail of b vector. So,in this Senior a is acting as a resultant vector. To get this resultant vector a, the green vector must be a-b.<span />

the half-life of strontium-90 is approximately 29 years. how much of a 500 g sample of strontium-90 will remain after 58 years

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer: 125 g

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$A = P_o\cdot e^{kt}\\\\\text{First, use the given information to find k:}\\\\\bullet A=\dfrac{1}{2}P_o\\\\\bullet k = unknown\\\\\bullet t=29\text{ years}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}P_o=P_o\cdot e^{k(29)}\\\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}=e^{k(29)}\qquad divided\ both\ sides\ by\ P_o\\\\\\ln\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)=ln\bigg(e^{k(29)}\bigg)\qquad applied\ ln\ to\ both\ sides\\\\\\ln\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)=29k\qquad simplified-ln\ and\ e\ cancel\ out\\\\\\\dfrac{ln\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)}{29}=k\qquad divided\ 29\ from\ both\ sides\\\\\\-0.0239=k$

$\text{Now, use the following in the equation to solve for A:}\\\\\bullet A=unknown\\\bullet P_o=500\\\bullet k=-0.0239\\\bullet t=58\text{ years}\\\\A=500\cdot e^{(-0.0239)(58)}\\\\.\quad=500\cdot e^{-1.386}\\\\.\quad=125$
