5 0

Answer:

9/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference = 6 - 2 = 4

The age after 6 is 6 + 4 = 10 = y

The age after 14 is 14 + 4 = 18 = z

z/ y = 18/10 = 9/5

Jason designs a rectangular sandbox. He models the perimeter of the sandbox using the expression 8l+2, where l is the length of
inn [45]

Answer:

A   .The expression 2l+2(3l+1) shows the width is 1 more than 3 times the length.

Step-by-step explanation:

p = 8l + 2

Length = l

Width:

2w = p - 2l

2w = (8l + 2) - 2l

2w = 6l + 2

w = 3l + 1

Therefor w is 3 times the length plus 1

The distribution of a sample of the outside diameters of PVC pipes approximates a normal distribution. The mean is 14.0 inches,
lakkis [162]

Answer:

A. 13.9 and 14.1 inches

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the outside diameters of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(14,0.1)  

Where \mu=14 and \sigma=0.1

If we want the middle 68% of the data we need to have on the tails 16% on each one

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.84   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.16 of the area on the left and 0.84 of the area on the right it's z=-0.994. On this case P(Z<-0.994)=0.16 and P(z>-0.994)=0.84

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=-0.994

And if we solve for a we got

a=14 -0.994*0.1=13.9

And since the distribution is symmetrical for the upper limit we can use z = 0.994 and we have:

z=0.994

And if we solve for a we got

a=14 +0.994*0.1=14.1

So the correct answer for this case would be:

A. 13.9 and 14.1 inches

A bank pays 5% interest compounded annually. What principal will grow to $12,000 in 10 years.
makvit [3.9K]
<h3>Answer: 7366.96 dollars</h3>

========================================================

Use the compound interest formula:

A = P(1+r/n)^(n*t)

where in this case,

A = 12000 = amount after t years

P = unknown = deposited amount we want to solve for

r = 0.05 = the decimal form of 5% interest

n = 1 = refers to the compounding frequency (annual)

t = 10 = number of years

-------

Plug all these values into the equation, then solve for P

A = P(1+r/n)^(n*t)

12000 = P(1+0.05/1)^(1*10)

12000 = P(1.05)^(10)

12000 = P(1.62889462677744)

12000 = 1.62889462677744P

1.62889462677744P = 12000

P = 12000/1.62889462677744

P = 7366.95904248911

P = 7366.96

Determine whether the value is from a discrete or continuous data set. Number of coins in a jar is 78 number of coins in a jar i
Phoenix [80]

Determine whether the value is from a discrete or continuous data set. Number of coins in a jar is 78 number of coins in a jar is 78

Answer: Number of coins in a jar is from a discrete data set. Because the given variable is countable in a finite amount of time.

If a variable can take on any value between two specified values, it is called a continuous variable; otherwise, it is called a discrete variable.
