The lengths of salamanders have a normal distribution with mean 15cm, and standard deviation 2cm. What length of salamander woul

d place it at the 80th percentile of salamander lengths?
Mathematics

Answer:

16.68 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean , m = 15

Standard deviation, s = 2

Length of salamander that would Place it at 80% of salamander length :

P(Z ≤ x) = 0.8

Zscore equivalent to 0.8 = 0.842

Using the relation :

Zscore = (x - m) /s

0.842 = (x - 15) / 2

1.684 = x - 15

Add 15 to both sides

1.684 + 15 = x - 15 + 15

16.684 = x

Hence, x = 16.68 cm

The number of candies consumed varies inversely with the number of children present. When 12 children are present,140 pieces of
irinina [24]
Loosely, "varies inversely" means that as one quantity increases, the other decreases. Specifically, if x and y vary inversely, then y = k/x where k is some constant (a particular number).

Another way to write that relationship is xy = k.  To find the value of k for this problem, you need a numbers for x and y that go together.

Suppose x = number of children and y = number of candies (it doesn't matter what order these go in as long as you keep track!).

"When 12 children are present, 140 pieces of candy are consumed."  So when x = 12, the value of y = 140.

xy = k
(12)(140) = k
1680 = k

Now, when x = 8 children,

8y = 1680
y = 210

Plot the following points to create a rectangle.
Tanya [424]

Answer:

(5, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The three coordinates of a triangle are given as:

(5,3), (-5,3), (-5,-1).

To find:

The missing vertex = ?

Solution:

Let us label the vertices:

A (5,3),

B(-5,3),

C(-5,-1).

Let the missing vertex be (x, y).

Let us recall the properties of a rectangle.

The <em>opposite sides</em> of the rectangle are equal and parallel to each other.

Let us consider the side AB, we can see that only x coordinate is changed from A to B.

Let us consider the side BC, we can see that only y coordinate is changed from B to C.

A and B are adjacent vertices.

Similarly the opposite vertices will be C and D.

Same pattern will be followed in CD as that of AB.

x coordinate will be changed by same difference as that of AB.

Change in x coordinate from D to C = -5-x

Change in x coordinate from A to B = -5-5 =-10

Equating them:

-5-x=-10\\\Rightarrow x = 5

Same pattern is followed in BC and AD.

Their change in y coordinate will be same.

-1-3=y-3\\\Rightarrow y =-1

Missing vertex is <em>(5, -1)</em>.

Please refer to the attached image for the rectangle.

Ron walks 0.5 mile on a track in 10 minutes. Stevie walks 0.25 mile on the track in 6 minutes find the unit rate for each walker
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Ron's speed = 3 miles/hour

Stevie's speed = 2.5 miles/hour

On comparing we see Ron is walking faster than Stevie.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ron takes 10 minutes to walk on a track to cover a distance of 0.5 miles

Stevie takes 6 minutes to walk on a track to cover a distance of 0.25 miles

To find their unit rates in mile per hour and choose the faster one.

Solution:

Unit rate in miles per hour signifies their speeds. Thus, we will find out their speeds.

Ron:

Distance= 0.5 miles

Time = 10 minutes = 10\ min\times \frac{1\ hr}{60\ min}=\frac{1}{6} hours

Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}=\frac{0.5}{\frac{1}{6}}=0.5\times6=3\ miles/hour

Stevie

Distance = 0.25 miles

Time = 6 minutes = 6\ min\times \frac{1\ hr}{60\ min}=\frac{1}{10} hours

Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}=\frac{0.25}{\frac{1}{10}}=0.25\times10=2.5\ miles/hour

Thus, we have

Ron's speed = 3 miles/hour

Stevie's speed = 2.5 miles/hour

On comparing we see Ron is walking faster than Stevie.
