Hi there!  

»»————- ★ ————-««

I believe your answer is:

1.3b + 0.1

»»————- ★ ————-««  

Here’s why:  

⸻⸻⸻⸻

\boxed{\text{Simplifying...}}\\\\0.9(2b-1)-0.5b+1\\--------------\\\rightarrow 1.8b - 0.9 - 0.5b + 1\\\\\rightarrow 1.8b - 0.5b - 0.9 + 1\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{1.3b +0.1}

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

0.9*2b = 1.8b

0.9*-1 = -0.9

So far we have 1.8b-0.9. It can't be simplified further.

Then, we add the 2nd part, -0.5b+1.

We have:

1.8b-0.9-0.5b+1. Next we combine like terms.

1.8b-0.5b = 1.3b.

-0.9+1 = 0.1

Then we put it together.

1.3b+0.1 is our answer.

Hope this helped! Have a nice day :D

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

59 to 66

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean test scores = u = 74.2

Standard Deviation = \sigma = 9.6

According to the given data, following is the range of grades:

Grade A: 85% to 100%

Grade B: 55% to 85%

Grade C: 19% to 55%

Grade D: 6% to 19%

Grade F: 0% to 6%

So, the grade D will be given to the students from 6% to 19% scores. We can convert these percentages to numerical limits using the z scores. First we need to to identify the corresponding z scores of these limits.

6% to 19% in decimal form would be 0.06 to 0.19. Corresponding z score for  0.06 is -1.56 and that for 0.19 is -0.88 (From the z table)

The formula for z score is:

z=\frac{x-u}{\sigma}

For z = -1.56, we get:

-1.56=\frac{x-74.2}{9.6}\\\\ x = 59

For z = -0.88, we get:

-0.88=\frac{x-74.2}{9.6}\\\\ x = 66

Therefore, a numerical limits for a D grade would be from 59 to 66 (rounded to nearest whole numbers)

What does it mean for an event to be​ unusual? why should the cutoff for identifying unusual events not always be​ 0. 05?.
horrorfan [7]

An unusual event is an occurrence that has a low probability of happening. The cutoff for identifying unusual events not always be​ 0.05, because it is not always a good idea to utilize the same cutoff to spot unexpected occurrences.

<h3>What is an unusual event?</h3>

An unusual event is an occurrence that has a low probability of happening.

If an event is improbable, its likelihood is zero. If an occurrence is unavoidable, its probability is one.

The probability of an event happening increases as it gets closer to 1. An occurrence that has a probability of 0.375, for instance, is more likely to happen than one with a probability of 0.125.

The less likely an event is to occur, the closer the probability is to 0. An unusual event is what this kind of event falls under. A probability of 5%, or 0.05, is typically regarded as unusual event.
