You didn’t attach the line plot but I’ll do my best.

1 pound = 16 ounces

It says of a pound dog toys, meaning that we will have to do multiplication:

1/2 * 1 pound

= 1/2 * 16 ounces

= 8 ounces

5/8 * 16 ounces

= 10

Next, find the difference:

10 - 8 = 2

The total weight of 5/8 of a pound of dog toys is 2 ounces greater than 1/2 of a pound of dog toys.


Also, the last bit of the question is worded incorrectly. 5/8 > 1/2 right off the bat. I’m not sure who designed the question but I think you should let them know since it would likely confuse individuals who encounter this question. Hope this helps!

You have the right idea that things need to get multiplied.

What should be done is that the entire fraction needs to get multipled by the lowest common denominator of both denominators.

Let's look at the complex numerator. Its denominators are 5 and x + 6. Nothing is common with these, so both pieces are needed.

The complex denominator has x - 3 as its denominator. With nothing in common between it and the complex numerator, that piece is needed.

So we multiply the entire complex fraction by (5)(x + 6)(x -3).

Numerator: (\frac{1}{5} -\frac{5}{x + 6})(5)(x +6)(x-3) =\frac{1}{5}(5)(x +6)(x-3) -   \frac{5}{x + 6}(5)(x +6)(x-3)

= (x+6)(x-3) - (5)(5)(x-3)

= (x+6)(x-3) - 25(x-3)

= (x-3)(x + 6 - 25) <--- by group factoring the common x - 3

= (x -3)(x - 19)

Denominator:

\frac{25}{x - 3} * (5)(x + 6)(x - 3) = (25)(5)(x + 6) = 125(x + 6)


Now we put the pieces together.


Our fraction simplies to (x - 3) (x - 19) / 125 (x + 6)

The line width used for semiconductor manufacturing is assumed to be normally distributed with a mean of 0.5 micrometer and a st
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

There is a 0.82% probability that a line width is greater than 0.62 micrometer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X. The sum of the probabilities is decimal 1. So 1-pvalue is the probability that the value of the measure is larger than X.

In this problem

The line width used for semiconductor manufacturing is assumed to be normally distributed with a mean of 0.5 micrometer and a standard deviation of 0.05 micrometer, so \mu = 0.5, \sigma = 0.05.

What is the probability that a line width is greater than 0.62 micrometer?

That is P(X > 0.62)

So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{0.62 - 0.5}{0.05}

Z = 2.4

Z = 2.4 has a pvalue of 0.99180.

This means that P(X \leq 0.62) = 0.99180.

We also have that

P(X \leq 0.62) + P(X > 0.62) = 1

P(X > 0.62) = 1 - 0.99180 = 0.0082

There is a 0.82% probability that a line width is greater than 0.62 micrometer.

F(x) = ax2 - 12, g(x) = 2x +3, and f(3) = 24. What<br> is the value of g(f(2)) ?
elixir [45]
<h2>Answer:    g(f(2))  = 11</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

g(f(2)) is substituting the value of f(2) for x in g(x). But we must first find f(2).

We know that f (x) = ax² - 12

Since f(3) = 24

  ⇒ a(3²) - 12 = 24

       9 a  = 36

          a  = 4

∴ f(2) = (4)(2²) - 12

         =  4

 

⇒ g(f(2)) = 2(4) + 3

             = 11
