Answer:

$a=\frac{b+5}{x},x\ne0$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

$ax-5=b$

We want to solve this equation for a.

We add 5 to both sides of the equation to get:

$ax=b+5$

We divide both sides by x to get:

$a=\frac{b+5}{x},x\ne0$

We must restrict the domain because a is not defined for all values of x.

ax - 5 = b

ax = b + 5

a = $\frac{b+5}{x}$

The equation of a circle C, with centre O, is:

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

a) The center coordinates O is (0,0)

b) The radius C = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation of the circle is : $x^{2} + y^{2} = 225$

Now, general form of the equation of the circle is:

$(x-h)^{2} + (y - k)^{2} = r^{2}$

where (h,k) are the center co -ordinates and r is the radius of the circle.

Comparing the general equation with the given equation, we get

$(x-0)^{2} + (y - 0)^{2} = (15)^{2}$

So, here the center coordinates (h,k) = (0,0)

And the radius of the given circle is r = 15

It appears that people who are mildly obese are less active than leaner people. One study looked at the average number of minute

hoa [83]

Answer:

Obese people

$Lower = \mu - 2\sigma = 373- 2(67) = 239$

$Upper = \mu + 2\sigma = 373+ 2(67) = 507$

Lean People

$Lower = \mu - 2\sigma = 526- 2(107) = 312$

$Upper = \mu + 2\sigma = 526+ 2(107) = 740$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

The empirical rule, also referred to as the three-sigma rule or 68-95-99.7 rule, is a statistical rule which states that for a normal distribution, "almost all data falls within three standard deviations (denoted by σ) of the mean (denoted by µ). Broken down, the empirical rule shows that 68% falls within the first standard deviation (µ ± σ), 95% within the first two standard deviations (µ ± 2σ), and 99.7% within the first three standard deviations (µ ± 3σ)".

Solution to the problem

Obese people

Let X the random variable that represent the minutes of a population (obese people), and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(373,67)$

Where $\mu=373$ and $\sigma=67$

On this case we know that 95% of the data values are within two deviation from the mean using the 68-95-99.7 rule so then we can find the limits liek this:

$Lower = \mu - 2\sigma = 373- 2(67) = 239$

$Upper = \mu + 2\sigma = 373+ 2(67) = 507$

Lean People

Let X the random variable that represent the minutes of a population (lean people), and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(526,107)$

Where $\mu=526$ and $\sigma=107$

On this case we know that 95% of the data values are within two deviation from the mean using the 68-95-99.7 rule so then we can find the limits liek this:

$Lower = \mu - 2\sigma = 526- 2(107) = 312$

$Upper = \mu + 2\sigma = 526+ 2(107) = 740$

The interval for the lean people is significantly higher than the interval for the obese people.
