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

Convert the angle to radians. Leave as a multiple of PI. 360 degrees
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

2\pi \ radians

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

\pi \ rad=180\°

so

using proportion

Convert 360 degrees to radians

\frac{\pi}{180}=\frac{x}{360} \\ \\x=(\pi)*360/180\\\\x=2\pi \ radians

How many solutions are there for the equation y = x + 2?
defon

Answer:

Infinite solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let x = 1 then y = 3, or if x = 3 y = 5   and so on.

We can  substitute any number of values of x and find the corresponding value of y so there are infinite solutions.

Answer pls I don’t know.
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

x < -5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that The solution set for -the inequality 4x+10≥5x+55​ is mathematically given as

From the question we are told

What is the solution set for -4x+10≥5x+55​

Generally the equation for the Inequality is mathematically given as

Therefore

-4x + 10>5+55

-9x > 45

x < -5

The solution set for -the inequality 4x+10≥5x+55​ is mathematically given as
