Answer:

No, her answer is unreasonable because 0.2 * 6 = 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we are trying to use an approximation to see if what was said to be the result of a calculation is reasonable as an answer.

Looking at her division, 2.76/6 = 0.19

To the nearest tenth , 0.19 is same as 0.2, now multiplying 0.2 by 6, what we have is 1.2 ( of which even 0.19 * 6 is expected to be less than this). we can see that this value is quite far from our expected answer of 2.76 which makes the answer an unreasonable one

Thus, the division 2.76/6 = 0.19 is not a reasonable answer

Two numbers have difference of 0.7 and a sum of 1. What are the numbers?
algol [13]
We can solve this by setting up 2 equations. We can use any letters like. For now, I'll use x and y.
So now we know that    x - y = 0.7   and    x + y = 1.
Now we can eliminate one of the letters by adding or subtracting one equation from the other. I am going to eliminate y by adding the two together (the y and the -y cancel).
This gives us   2x = 1.7,    and so x = 1.7 ÷ 2 = 0.85
Finally, we can substitute x for 0.85 back into one of the original equations to figure out what y equals. I'm going to use   x + y = 1.
So now we have    0.85 + y = 1,    so y = 1 - 0.85 = 0.15

The numbers, therefore, are 0.85 and 0.15 (you can check by using the other equation).

Hope this helps!

Find The art length of a sector with an area of 8 square units.
frez [133]
\bf \textit{area of a sector of a circle}\\\\
A=\cfrac{\theta \pi r^2}{360}\quad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
\theta =angle~in\\
\qquad degrees\\
------\\
A=8\\
r=4
\end{cases}\implies 8=\cfrac{\theta \pi 4^2}{360}\implies \cfrac{8\cdot 360}{4^2\pi }=\theta 
\\\\\\
\cfrac{2880}{16\pi }=\theta \implies \boxed{\cfrac{180}{\pi }=\theta }\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf \textit{arc's length}\\\\
s=\cfrac{\theta \pi r}{180}\quad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
\theta =angle~in\\
\qquad degrees\\
------\\
\theta =\frac{180}{\pi }\\
r=4
\end{cases}\implies s=\cfrac{\frac{180}{\underline{\pi} }\underline{\pi} \cdot 4}{180}\implies s=\cfrac{\underline{180}\cdot 4}{\underline{180}}
\\\\\\
\boxed{s=4}

if you do a quick calculation on what that angle is, you'll notice that it is exactly 1 radian, and an angle of 1 radian, has an arc that is the same length as its radius.

that's pretty much what one-radian stands for, an angle, whose arc is the same length as its radius.

The distribution of the amount of money spent by students for textbooks in a semester is approximately normal in shape with a me
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Option D) $275

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = $235

Standard Deviation, σ = $20

We are given that the distribution of amount of money spent by students is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.975

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 235}{20})=0.975  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P( z < 1.960) = 0.975

\displaystyle\frac{x - 235}{20} = 1.960\\x =274.2 \approx 275

Approximately 97.5% of the students spent below $275 on textbook.
