   First, lookup a standard normal table and see what the z-score is for 0.025 (one half of 100% - 95%) to allow for equal sized tails. You should find that the z-score is 1.96. That means that 95% of the time, the value should be within 1.96 standard deviations of the mean. Now let's calculate the standard deviation. 800 is 800 - 1200 = -400 to the left of the mean of 1200. 1600 is 1600 - 1200 = 400 to the right of the mean of 1200. So we are an equal distance of 400 on both sides of the mean. And we know from the z-score of 1.96, that we're 1.96 standard deviations from the mean. So a little division will give us the standard deviation. Which is: 400 / 1.96 = 204.0816327
   So the standard deviation of the light bulbs is 204</span>

Why are linear functions sometimes symmetric about the y-axis but never symmetric about the x-axis
lina2011 [118]
Test for symmetry about the x-axis: Replace y with (-y). Simplfy the equation. If the resulting equation is equivalent to the original equation then the graph is symmetrical about the x-axis. Example: Use the test for symmetry about the x-axis to determine if the graph of y - 5x2 = 4 is symmetric about the x-axis.

How many triangles will be in the 5th set of triangles?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

25.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming you only mean the small triangles, not the composite ones.

The  second  triangle set has 3 triangles on bottom row and 1 on the top - total 4.

The 3rd triangle set has 5 triangles on the bottom , 3 on the next up and 1 on the top  - total  9

Following the pattern 4th set will have the number of triaNGLES

7 + 5 + 3 + 1 = 16.

So the 5th will have 9 + 7 + 5 + 3 +1 = 25 triangles.

which equation is the equation of the line in point slope form that has a slope of 12 and passes through the point (-1, 14)
Nostrana [21]

Point slope from would be 12x-y+26=0.

Black is the equation, 12x-y+26=0.

  • Orange is <em>y-14=12(x+1)</em>
  • Blue is <em>y-14=12(x-1)</em>
  • Red is <em>y+14=12(x-1)</em>
  • Green is <em>y-14=-12(x+1)</em>

Point A is at (3, 2.5) and point B is at (3, 1.4) on a coordinate grid. The distance between the two points is ____. Input numbe
andriy [413]
The points have the same x-coordinate, so they lie on a horizontal line. The distance between them is the difference between their y-coordinates.

2.5 - 1.4 = 1.1

The distance between the two points is 1.1
