Answer:

SD = 8.4932

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sample\ Size (n) = 289

proportion, p= 52\%

Required

Determine the standard deviation (SD)

The standard deviation of a binomial distribution is calculated as thus:

SD = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Substitute values for n and p

SD = \sqrt{289 * 52\% * (1-52\%)}

Convert to decimals

SD = \sqrt{289 * 0.52 * (1-0.52)}

SD = \sqrt{289 * 0.52 * 0.48}

SD = \sqrt{72.1344}

SD = 8.49319727782

SD = 8.4932 --- <em>approximated</em>

<em>Hence, the calculated standard deviation is approximately 8.4932</em>

Carl has 9 1/2 cups of juice for a party. If each party goer gets exactly 3/5 cup of juice each, how many party goers will get t
topjm [15]

Answer: 158

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so the total is 9 5/10.

Each party goer needs 6/10

So 95/10 / 6/0=. 95/10x10/6

=950/6 = 158.

This math I just can't figure out
Elena-2011 [213]

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the first question and how to solve the second.

So the first business start with 250, that's your b in slope.

y = mx + b

y = mx + 250

Now, they charge 14 an hour so that's your m.

y = 14x + 250

x is the number of hours it takes.

The second business is straight up 22 per hour, so it's just y = mx, where b is 0.

y = 22x VS y = 14x + 250

Try plugging in different numbers and seeing how much it take to level out!

1. Solve for x and y: (4 points)<br> Y: __________<br><br> X:__________
Sati [7]

Answer:

Y = 23°

X = 28°

Step-by-step explanation:

[] First, we can tell that (5y - 4) + (3y) = 180 because the parallel lines allow for corresponding angles, and then they are supplementary;

(5y - 4)° + (3y)° = 180°

5y° - 4° + 3y° = 180°

8y° - 4° = 180°

8y° = 184°

y = 23°

[] Next, we can solve for (5y - 4) and use that number as a corresponding angle to solve for (2x + 13);

5y - 4

5(23) - 4

115 - 4 = 111

[] Last, we will solve for x using the same reasoning as how we solved for y;

111° + (2x + 13)° = 180°

111° + 2x° + 13° = 180°

111° + 2x° + 13° = 180°

124° + 2x° = 180°

2x = 56°

x = 28°
