Answer:

C. 59.01%

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:

\mu = 52, \sigma = 3.5

What percentage of fourth graders are between 50 inches and 56 inches?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 56 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 50.

X = 56

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

Z = \frac{56 - 52}{3.5}

Z = 1.14

Z = 1.14 has a pvalue of 0.8729

X = 50

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

Z = \frac{50 - 52}{3.5}

Z = -0.57

Z = -0.57 has a pvalue of 0.2843.

0.8729 - 0.2843 = 0.5886, which is close to 59.01%.

So the correct answer is:

C. 59.01%

=4(700+50+4)

=2800 + 200 + 16

=3000+16

=3016

=4(250+250+250+4)

=1000+1000+1000+16

A two-digit number becomes 5/6 of the reversed number obtained when the digits are interchanged. The difference between the digi
stealth61 [152]
<h3>Answer:   54</h3>

==============================================

Work Shown:

T = tens digit

U = units digit (aka ones digit)

A number like 27 is really 20+7 = 2*10 + 7*1 = 10*2 + 1*7. We have 2 in the tens digit and 7 in the units digit. So 27 can be written in the form 10T + U where T = 2 and U = 7. Reversing the digits gives 72, so T = 7 and U = 2 now. Clearly the difference between the digits 7 and 2 is not 1, so 27 or 72 is not the answer (as it's just an example).

-----------------------

Let T be larger than U. This doesn't work if T = U.

Because T is larger, saying "The difference between the digits is 1" means T - U = 1. We can isolate T to get T = U+1. We'll use this later.

-----------------------

If T > U, then the original number 10T+U reverses to the new number 10U+T and it becomes smaller. We are told that it becomes 5/6 of what it used to be.

So,

new number = (5/6)*(old number)

10U + T = (5/6)(10T + U)

6(10U + T) = 5(10T + U)

60U + 6T = 50T + 5U

60U + 6(U+1) = 50(U+1) + 5U ... plug in T = U+1

60U + 6U + 6 = 50U + 50 + 5U

66U + 6 = 55U + 50

66U - 55U = 50-6

11U = 44

U = 44/11

U = 4 is the units digit of the original number

T = U+1

T = 4+1

T = 5 is the tens digit of the original number

The original number is therefore 10T + U = 10*5+4 = 54.

We see the difference in their digits is T-U = 5-4 = 1

The reverse of 54 is 45. The number 45 is 5/6 of 54

45 = (5/6)*54

Solve by Substitution<br> Show Steps<br> −2x + 3y + 5z = −21<br> −4z = 20<br> 6x − 3y = 0
Anarel [89]

−2x + 3y + 5z = −21

−4z = 20

6x − 3y = 0

do -4z=20 first

divide both sides by -4 to get z by itself

-4z/-4=20/-4

z=-5

Use z=-5 into −2x + 3y + 5z = −21

-2x+3y+5(-5)=-21

-2x+3y-25=-21

move -25 to the other side

sign changes from -25 to +25

-2x+3y-25+25=-21+25

-2x+3y=4

6x-3y=0

find x by eliminating y

Add the equations together

-2x+6x+3y+(-3y)=4+0

-2x+6x+3y-3y=4

4x=4

Divide by 4 for both sides

4x/4=4/4

x=1

Use x=1 into 6x − 3y = 0

6(1)-3y=0

6-3y=0

Move 6 to the other side

6-6-3y=0-6

-3y=-6

Divide both sides by -3

-3y/-3=-6/-3

y=2

Answer:

(1, 2, -5)

On a map, the distance from Akron to Cleveland measures 2 centimeters. What is the actual distance if the scale of the map shows
WINSTONCH [101]
To answer this question you will set up the proportion shown in the attached picture.

There are 2 ways to solve this.

1. You can create an equivalent ratio by determining the factor that will take you from 1 cm to 2 cm and apply his factor to the 19 miles.

The answer would be 19 x 2= 38 miles for 2 centimeters.

2. The second strategy is to use cross products to get an answer. You multiply the number diagonal from each other. See picture for this work.
