Answer:

47.72% of the completion times is between 73.4 and 88.2 minutes

2.28% of the completion times is at most 58.6 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

A reading test are normally distributed with a mean time of 73,4 minutes and a standard deviation of 7.4 minutes.

$\mu = 73.4 minutes$

Standard deviation = $\sigma = 7.4 minutes$

A)Approximately what percent of the completion times is between 73.4 and 88.2 minutes i.e.P(73.4<x<88.2)

Formula : $Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

At x = 73.4

$Z=\frac{73.4-73.4}{7.4}$

Z=0

Refer the z table for p value

p value = 0.5

At z = 88.2

$Z=\frac{88.2-73.4}{7.4}$

Z=2

Refer the z table for p value

p value =0.9772

So,P(73.4<x<88.2)=0.9772-0.5=0.4772

So, 47.72% of the completion times is between 73.4 and 88.2 minutes

B)Approximately what percent of the completion times is at most 58.6 minutes i.e. $P(X\leq 58.6)$ ?

$Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

$Z=\frac{58.6-73.4}{7.4}$

Z=-2

Refer the z table for p value

p value =0.0228

So,2.28% of the completion times is at most 58.6 minutes

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2, -3) and (5,4) ? -3 3 -1 1

Andrews [41]

Answer:

$\boxed{\textsf{ The slope of the line is \textbf{1}.}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points are given to us and we need to find the slope of the line that passes through these two points . The two points are (-2,-3) and (5,4) .As we know that the slope of the line is given by $\tan\theta$

Slope of a line is :-

$\boxed{\boxed{ \sf Slope =\dfrac{ y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\tan\theta }}$

On using this formula we can find the slope of the line .

Putting the respective values :-

$\sf\implies Slope = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\sf\implies Slope = \dfrac{ -3-4}{-2-5} \\\\\sf\implies Slope =\dfrac{-7}{-7}\\\\\sf\implies\boxed{\pink{\sf Slope = 1 }}$

Reynaldo drew a rectangular design that was 6 in. wide and 8in. long. He used a copy machine to enlarge the design so that the w

son4ous [18]

Answer:

$13\frac{1}{3}\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The dilation is a non-rigid transformation that produces similar figures

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

step 1

Find the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

$z=\frac{10}{6}$ ----> ratio of corresponding sides

simplify

$z=\frac{5}{3}$

step 2

Find the length of the enlarged design (L)

Multiply the length of the original design by the scale factor

$L=\frac{5}{3}(8)=\frac{40}{3}\ in$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{40}{3}\ in=\frac{39}{3}+\frac{1}{3}=13\frac{1}{3}\ in$

G=x-c/x. for x how do yoy make this an equation for x? help

zzz [600]

1.
$\displaystyle \text{if }\quad G=x- \frac{C}{x} \\\\$

$x \neq 0$

Multiply both sides by x:

$\displaystyle Gx=x\bigg(x- \frac{C}{x}\bigg )\\\\Gx=x^2-C$

Subtract from both sides Gx:
$Gx-Gx=x^2-C-Gx\\x^2-Gx-C=0$

Then solve this equation:

$\displaystyle x^2-Gx-C=0\\\\x_{1,2}= \frac{G\pm \sqrt{G^2+4C} }{2}$

2.
$\displaystyle\text{if}\quad G= \frac{x-C}{x}$

$x \neq 0$

Multiply both sides by x:

$Gx=x-C$

Subtract from both sides Gx:

$x-C-Gx=0$

Then solve this equation:

$\displaystyle x-Gx-C=0\\x(1-G)=C\\x= \frac{C}{1-G}$
