Answer:

0.9007 is the probability that a student scored below 86 on this exam.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 77

Standard Deviation, σ = 7

We are given that the distribution of examination grades is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

a) P(student scored below 86)

P(x < 86)

$P( x < 86) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{86 - 77}{7}) = P(z < 1.2857)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x < 1.2857) = 0.9007 = 90.07\%$

0.9007 is the probability that a student scored below 86 on this exam.

Write an equation that gives the proportional relationship of the graph.

melomori [17]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

C) y = 6x

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Pick any point. It is often convenient to use x = 1 (no marked point) or x = 10 (where y = 60).

Use these values to see which equation agrees.

A: 60 ≠ (1/6)·10

B: 60 ≠ 2·20

C: 60 = 6·10

D: 60 ≠ 12·10

____

Or, you can solve ...

... y = kx

for k, using the point values you found on the graph.

... 60 = k·10

... 60/10 = k = 6 . . . . . divide by 10

This makes the equation be ...

... y = 6x . . . . . . matches selection C

How to find the circumference of a circle

Romashka [77]

C = πd. In this equation, "C" represents the circumference of the circle, and "d" represents its diameter. That is to say, you can find the circumference of a circle just by multiplying the diameter by pi. Plugging π into your calculator will give you its numerical value, which is a closer approximation of 3.14 or 22/7.
The radius is half as long as the diameter, so the diameter can be thought of as 2r. Keeping this in mind, you can write down the formula for finding the circumference of a circle given the radius: C = 2πr. In this formula, "r" represents the radius of the circle. Again, you can plug π into your calculator to get its numeral value, which is a closer approximation of 3.14.

let x1,x2, and x3 be linearly independent vectors in R^(n) and let y1=x2+x1; y2=x3+x2; y3=x3+x1. are y1,y2,and y3 linearly indep

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$x_1,x_2$ and $x_3$ are linearly independent.

By definition of linear independent there exits three scalar $a_1,a_2$ and $a_3$ such that

$a_1x_1+a_2x_2+a_3x_3=0$

Where $a_1=a_2=a_3=0$

$y_1=x_2+x_1,y_2=x_3+x_2,y_3=x_3+x_1$

We have to prove that $y_1,y_2$ and $y_3$ are linearly independent.

Let $b_1,b_2$ and $b_3$ such that

$b_1y_1+b_2y_2+b_3y_3=0$

$b_1(x_2+x_1)+b_2(x_3+x_2)+b_3(x_3+x_1)=0$

$b_1x_2+b_1x_1+b_2x_3+b_2x_2+b_3x_3+b_3x_1=0$

$(b_1+b_3)x_1+(b_2+b_1)x_2+(b_2+b_3)x_3=0$

$b_1+b_3=0$

$b_1=-b_3$ ...(1)

$b_1+b_2=0$

$b_1=-b_2$ ..(2)

$b_2+b_3=0$

$b_2=-b_3$ ..(3)

Because $x_1,x_2$ and $x_3$ are linearly independent.

From equation (1) and (3)

$b_1=b_2$ ...(4)

Adding equation (2) and (4)

$2b_1==0$

$b_1=0$

From equation (1) and (2)

$b_3=0,b_2=0,b_3=0$

Hence, $y_1,y_2$ and $y_3$ area linearly independent.

The table shows the times of the top six swimmers in the women’s 100 meter butterfly at the 2012 Olympic Games. A 2-column table

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The difference in finishing time between the 2nd and 3rd places is the shortest and it is 0.07 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first positioned swimmer took 55.98 seconds and the second positioned swimmer took 56.87 seconds to complete the race.

So, the difference is (56.87 - 55.98) = 0.89 seconds.

The second positioned swimmer took 56.87 seconds and the third positioned swimmer took 56.94 seconds to complete the race.

So, the difference is (56.94 - 56.87) = 0.07 seconds.

The third positioned swimmer took 56.94 seconds and the fourth positioned swimmer took 57.17 seconds to complete the race.

So, the difference is (57.17 - 56.94) = 0.23 seconds.

The fourth positioned swimmer took 57.17 seconds and the fifth positioned swimmer took 57.27 seconds to complete the race.

So, the difference is (57.27 - 57.17) = 0.10 seconds.

The fifth positioned swimmer took 57.27 seconds and the sixth positioned swimmer took 57.35 seconds to complete the race.

So, the difference is (57.27 - 57.35) = 0.08 seconds.

Therefore, the difference in finishing time between the 2nd and 3rd places is the shortest and it is 0.07 seconds. (Answer)
