What is the probability of choosing a vegetable

What is an absolute value? What does it do? When would we need to use an absolute value

Nana76 [90]

Absolute Value Absolute Value means ...

... only how far a number is from zero:

"6" is 6 away from zero,
and "−6" is also 6 away from zero. So the absolute value of 6 is 6,
and the absolute value of −6 is also 6

More Examples:

The absolute value of −9 is 9The absolute value of 3 is 3The absolute value of 0 is 0The absolute value of −156 is 156 No Negatives!

So in practice "absolute value" means to remove any negative sign in front of a number, and to think of all numbers as positive (or zero).

Absolute Value Symbol

To show that we want the absolute value of something, we put "|" marks either side (they are called "bars" and are found on the right side of a keyboard), like these examples:

|−5| = 5 |7| = 7 Sometimes absolute value is also written as "abs()", so abs(−1) = 1 is the same as |−1| = 1

When 200 gallons of oil were removed from a tank, the volume of oil left in the tank was 3/7 of the tank's capacity. what was th

ki77a [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"When 200 gallons of oil were removed from a tank" algebraically looks like this:

V - 200.

"...the volume of oil left in the tank was 3/7 of the tank's capacity" algebraically looks like this:

3/7(V)

Therefore, the equation is

V - 200 = 3/7(V)

Begin by multiplying both sides by 7:

7(V - 200) = 3V and

7V - 1400 = 3V so

-1400 = -4V so

V = 350 gallons

That's if the volume of the oil in the tank was 3/7 of the tank's capacity.

For the other part of the problem, we set up the equation almost the same, except the 3/7 is a 1/2:

V - 200 = 1/2(V)

Multiplying both sides by 2 gives you

2(V - 200) = V and

2V - 400 = V so

-400 = -V so

V = 400

A particular brand of tires claims that its deluxe tire averages at least 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced. From past

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

We conclude that deluxe tire averages less than 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced which means that the claim is not supported.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a particular brand of tires claims that its deluxe tire averages at least 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced. From past studies of this tire, the standard deviation is known to be 8000.

From the 28 tires surveyed, the mean lifespan was 46,500 miles with a standard deviation of 9800 miles.

Let $\mu$ = average miles for deluxe tires

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu \geq$ 50,000 miles {means that deluxe tire averages at least 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu$ < 50,000 miles {means that deluxe tire averages less than 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample z test statistics as we know about population standard deviation;

T.S. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean lifespan = 46,500 miles

$\sigma$ = population standard deviation = 8000 miles

n = sample of tires = 28

So, test statistics = $\frac{46,500-50,000}{\frac{8000}{\sqrt{28} } }$

= -2.315

The value of the test statistics is -2.315.

Now at 5% significance level, the z table gives critical value of -1.6449 for left-tailed test. Since our test statistics is less than the critical value of z as -2.315 < -1.6449, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which we reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that deluxe tire averages less than 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced which means that the claim is not supported.

A construction worker fills a mold with concrete. This solid figure represents the mold.

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

6580cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 6580cm because....

Step one First let's figure out what the smaller shape's volume is. To do so we need to multiply ( LxWxH ) so 6x5x? it does not list what the height is so we know it has the same height as the larger shape and it's height is 14cm so we will use 14cm. 6x5x14=420cm
Step two Now lets find the Volume of the larger shape. So lets do LxWxH so Lx?x14 it does not give us the length so we need to add up all of the numbers along the line. We got 7cm then 5 from the bottom of the smaller shape and 10cm. all ads up to 22cm so 20x22x14=6160
Finally we add up the following shapes Volume which are 6160+420=6580cm
