Answer:

\mu = 14.5\\

\sigma = 5.071\\

k = 1.084

Step-by-step explanation:

given that a  statistician uses Chebyshev's Theorem to estimate that at least 15 % of a population lies between the values 9 and 20.

i.e. his findings with respect to probability are

P(9

Recall Chebyshev's inequality that

P(|X-\mu |\geq k\sigma )\leq {\frac {1}{k^{2}}}\\P(|X-\mu |\leq k\sigma )\geq 1-{\frac {1}{k^{2}}}\\

Comparing with the Ii equation which is appropriate here we find that

\mu =14.5

Next what we find is

k\sigma = 5.5\\1-\frac{1}{k^2} =0.15\\\frac{1}{k^2}=0.85\\k=1.084\\1.084 (\sigma) = 5.5\\\sigma = 5.071

Thus from the given information we find that

\mu = 14.5\\\sigma = 5.071\\k = 1.084

VikaD [51]

Answer:

$24.04

Step-by-step explanation:

3 x $16.99 = $50.97

1 x $24.99 = $24.99

$24.99 + $50.97 = $75.96

$100 - $75.96 = $24.04

Explain how the function y=-1/3|x+2|+5 is transformed from the original function of y=-1/3|x|.
Illusion [34]

The original function of y = -1/3|x| was translated 2 units to the right and 5 units up.

<h3>The types of transformation.</h3>

In Mathematics, there are four (4) main types of transformation and these include the following:

  1. Dilation
  2. Rotation
  3. Reflection
  4. Translation

<h3>What is a translation?</h3>

In Mathematics, the translation of a geometric figure (shape) to the right simply means adding a digit to the numerical value on the x-coordinate (x-axis) of the pre-image of a function while a geometric figure (shape) that is translated up simply means adding a digit to the numerical value on the y-coordinate (y-axis) of the pre-image.

In this scenario, the original function was shifted 2 units to the right and then shifted 5 units up to produce the new function as follows:

Original function (x, y)    →     New function (x + 2, y + 5)

y = -1/3|x|                         →        y = -1/3|x + 2| + 5

What is the answer? 2(n + 5) = -2
Tems11 [23]

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

2(n + 5) =  - 2

Divide sides by 2

\frac{2(n + 5)}{2}  = -   \frac{2}{2}  \\

n + 5 =  - 1

Subtract sides 5

n + 5 - 5 =  - 1 - 5

n =  - 6

Done...
