Answer:

First side is: 12cm

Second side is: 36cm

Third side is: 16cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the shorter side

Then 3x represents the second side, and

x + 4 represents the third side.

Perimeter of three sides:

P = x + 3x + (x + 4)

Perimeter is 64, so

64 = x + 3x + (x + 4)

64 = 5x + 4

60 = 5x

12 = x

First side is x: 12cm

Second side is 3x: 3(12) = 36cm

Third side is x + 4: 12 + 4 = 16cm

If a student didn’t understand proportional relationships, how would you explain it to them?
kirill [66]

Answer:

Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables where their ratios are equivalent.

Another way to think about them is that, in a proportional relationship, one variable is always a constant value times the other. That constant is know as the "constant of proportionality".

I really recommend watching Khan Academy's video over proportional relationships, the speaker explains it very well!!

<em>(</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>and </em><em>(</em><em>9</em><em> </em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em>)</em>

<em>First </em><em>calculating </em><em>slope(</em><em>m</em><em>)</em>

<em>=</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>y2 </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>y1</em><em>) </em><em> </em><em>/</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>x2 </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>x1</em><em>) </em>

<em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>/</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>4</em>

<em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>7</em>

<em>Now </em><em>The </em><em>equation </em><em>of </em><em>line </em><em>is </em><em>given </em><em>by </em>

A production process is checked periodically by a quality control inspector. the inspector selects simple random samples of 30 f
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Population Mean = 2.0

Population Standard deviation = 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the inspector selects simple random samples of 30 finished products and computes the sample mean product weight.

Also, test results over a long period of time show that 5% of the values are over 2.1 pounds and 5% are under 1.9 pounds.

Now, mean of the population is given the average of two extreme boundaries because mean lies exactly in the middle of the distribution.

So,   Mean, \mu = \frac{1.9+2.1}{2} = 2.0

Therefore, mean for the population of products produced with this process is 2.

Since, we are given that 5% of the values are under 1.9 pounds so we will calculate the z score value corresponding to a probability of 5% i.e.

             z = -1.6449 {from z % table}

We know that z formula is given by ;  

                Z = \frac{Xbar - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

              -1.6449 = \frac{1.9 - 2.0}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }     ⇒  \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }  = \frac{-0.1}{-1.6449}  

                                           ⇒ \sigma = 0.0608 * \sqrt{30}  {as sample size is given 30}

                                           ⇒ \sigma = 0.03 .

Therefore, Standard deviation for the population of products produced with this process is 0.0333.
