Answer:

The possible coordinates of point A are (-8,-4) or (-8,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points is given by the formula

d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}     }

For point A (x_{1} , y_{1}); x_{1}= -8 and y_{1} is unknown

For point B (x_{2} , y_{2}); (4,1) i.e x_{2}=4 and y_{2}=1

and d = 13

Putting the values into the equation,

13= \sqrt{[(4-(-8)]^{2} + (1-y_{1})^{2}     }\\13= \sqrt{[(4+8)]^{2} + (1-y_{1})^{2}     }\\13= \sqrt{12^{2} + (1-y_{1})^{2}     }\\13^{2} = 12^{2} + (1-y_{1})^{2}  \\169 = 144 +(1-y_{1})^{2}\\169-144 = (1-y_{1})^{2}\\25 = 1 -2y_{1} +y_{1}^{2} \\y_{1}^{2} -2y_{1}+1-25 =0\\y_{1}^{2} -2y_{1}-24 =0\\y_{1}^{2} -6y_{1} + 4y_{1} -24 =0 \\y_{1}(y_{1}-6) +4(y_{1} -6) = 0\\(y_{1}+4)(y_{1}-6) =0\\(y_{1}+4)=0 or (y_{1}-6) =0

y_{1}+4= 0 or y_{1}-6 =0

y_{1} =-4 or y_{1} = 6

Hence, the possible coordinates of point A are (-8,-4) or (-8,6)

Answer:

The answer is 82 unit total

Step-by-step explanation:

You can take the entire shape and break it down to normal shapes such as squares and triangles. Then you can use the formula of these shapes to find the area. Last you add all the unit together and that's the answer

Riverdale High ordered 84 shirts with their logo on them. if 8 of the shirts were defective what percent of the shirts were not
Ymorist [56]

8 were defective.

Defective percent = 8/84 x 100 = 9.5238% were defective.

Percent not defective = 100% - 9.5238% = 90.4761%

Rounding to the nearest tenth 90.5% were not defective.

The question doesn’t say how to round the answer so you may need to round differently than I did.

Suppose that you are in charge of evaluating teacher performance at a large elementary school. One tool you have for this evalua
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

a) Standard error = 2

b) Range = (76.08, 83.92)

c) P=0.69

d) Smaller

e) Greater

Step-by-step explanation:

a) When we have a sample taken out of the population, the standard error of the mean is calculated as:

\sigma_m=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{25}}=\dfrac{10}{5}=2

where n is te sample size (n=25) and σ is the population standard deviation (σ=10).

Then, the standard error of the classroom average score is 2.

b) The calculations for this range are the same that for the confidence interval, with the difference that we know the population mean.

The population standard deviation is know and is σ=10.

The population mean is M=80.

The sample size is N=25.

The standard error of the mean is σM=2.

The z-value for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=z\cdot \sigma_M=1.96 \cdot 2=3.92

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 80-3.92=76.08\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 80+3.92=83.92

The range that we expect the average classroom test score to fall 95% of the time is (76.08, 83.92).

c) We can calculate this by calculating the z-score of X=79.

z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{79-80}{2}=\dfrac{-1}{2}=-0.5

Then, the probability of getting a average score of 79 or higher is:

P(X>79)=P(z>-0.5)=0.69146

The approximate probability that a classroom will have an average test score of 79 or higher is 0.69.

d) If the sample is smaller, the standard error is bigger (as the square root of the sample size is in the denominator), so the spread of the probability distribution is more. This results then in a smaller probability for any range.

e) If the population standard deviation is smaller, the standard error for the sample (the classroom) become smaller too. This means that the values are more concentrated around the mean (less spread). This results in a higher probability for every range that include the mean.
