Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is 1 whole pizza, there would be 8 slices in total.

Mary - 1 slice

Paul - 2 slices

Jane - 4 slices

1+2+4

= 7 slices left

So that means we have 1/8th of the pizza left.

A livestock company reports that the mean weight of a group of young steers is 1143 pounds with a standard deviation of 88 pound

malfutka [58]

Answer:

<em>a) P(x<1200)=74.14%</em>

<em>b) P(1100<X<1250)=57.54%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Normal Distribution</u>

The normal distribution, also known as the bell curve, is a distribution that occurs naturally in many situations of life. We use the model $N(\mu,\sigma)$ to understand the behavior of some real-life variables. Where $\mu$ is the mean value and $\sigma$ is the standard deviation.

In our case, we have

$\mu=1143,\ \sigma=88$

And are required to find the percentage of steers whose weigh lie within a given range. We must use some sort of table or digital means to compute the values because the normal distribution cannot be calculated directly by a formula. We use the NORMDIST (or NORM.DIST) formula for Excel which gives us the left tail of the area behind the bell curve, i.e. the cumulative percentage for a give value of X. The formula has the form

NORM.DIST(x,mean,standard_dev,cumulative)

a) X<1200

The formula is used with the following parameters

NORM.DIST(1200,1143,88,true)

and we get

$P(X$

b) We need to compute P(1100<X<1250). To do this, we calculate both left tails and the subtract them

NORM.DIST(1100,1143,88,true)=0.3125

NORM.DIST(1250,1143,88,true)=0.8880

$P(1100$

$\boxed{P(1100$

If you apply the changes below to the absolute value parent function, f(x) = |x|, what is the equation of the new function?Shift

Serjik [45]

Answer: C

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The general form of the equation is: g(x) = a|x - h| + k ;

"a" represents the vertical stretch <em>(or shrink)</em>
"h" represents the x-coordinate of the vertex (left and right)
"k" represents the y-coordinate of the vertex (up and down)

4 units left means h = 4

2 units up means k = 2

--> g(x) = |x - 4| + 2

The 65 students in a classical music lecture class were polled, with the following results: 37 like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 36 l

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

a) 25

b) 30

c) 10

d) Not Mozart, 6

e) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We use a Venn Diagram to solve this question.

I am going to say that:

A are the students who like Mozart.

B are the students who like Beethoven

C are the students who like Haydn.

We have that:

$A = a + (A \cap B) + (A \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C)$

In which a are those who only like Mozart, $(A \cap B)$ are those who like Mozart and Beethoven, $(A \cap C)$ are those who like Mozart and Haydn and $(A \cap B \cap C)$ are those who like all three of them.

By the same logic, we have that:

$B = b + (A \cap B) + (B \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C)$

$C = c + (B \cap C) + (A \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C)$

We start finding these values from the intersection:

8 like all three composers

This means that $A \cap B \cap C = 8$

14 like Beethoven and Haydn

This means that:

$(B \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 14$

So

$B \cap C = 6$

21 like Mozart and Haydn

This means that:

$(A \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 21$

Then

$A \cap C = 13$

14 like Mozart and Beethoven

This means that:

$(A \cap B) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 14$

$A \cap B = 6$

31 like Franz Joseph Haydn

This means that C = 31. So

$C = c + (B \cap C) + (A \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C)$

$31 = c + 6 + 13 + 8$

$c = 4$

36 like Ludwig van Beethoven

This means that $B = 36$

So

$B = b + (A \cap B) + (B \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C)$

$36 = b + 6 + 6 + 8$

$b = 16$

37 like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

This means that A = 37. Then

$A = a + (A \cap B) + (A \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C)$

$37 = a + 6 + 13 + 8$

$a = 10$

a. exactly two of these composers?

$(A \cap B) + (A \cap C) + (B \cap C) = 6 + 13 + 6 = 25$

b. exactly one of these composers?

$a + b + c = 10 + 16 + 4 = 30$

c. like only Mozart?

$a = 10$

d. like Beethoven and Haydn, but not Beethoven?

I will use not Mozart.

So $B \cap C = 6$

Not Mozart, 6.

e. like none of these composers?

At least 1:

$(A \cup B \cup C) = a + b + c + (A \cap B) + (A \cap C) + (B \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 10 + 16 + 4 + 6 + 13 + 6 + 8 = 63$

The total is 65

So 65 - 63 = 2 like none of these composers
