Answer:

Josh's ERA had a z-score of -3.26.

Alice's ERA had a z-score of -1.11.

Due to the lower z-score(ERA is a stat that the lower the better), Josh had a better year relative to his peers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. 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, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Josh:

ERA of 2.89, mean of 5.083, standard deviation of 0.672. So

X = 2.89, \mu = 5.083, \sigma = 0.672, and the z-score is:

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

Z = \frac{2.89 - 5.083}{0.672}

Z =  -3.26

Josh's ERA had a z-score of -3.26.

Alice:

ERA of 3.31, mean of 4.032, standard deviation of 0.649. So

X = 3.31, \mu = 4.032, \sigma = 0.649, and the z-score is:

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

Z = \frac{3.31 - 4.032}{0.649}

Z =  -1.11

Alice's ERA had a z-score of -1.11.

Which player had the better year relative to their​ peers, josh or alice ?

Due to the lower z-score(ERA is a stat that the lower the better), Josh had a better year relative to his peers.

Can someone help. I’m having trouble with the equation part
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

(x+3) x+7 is the answer for the first question if it's the same way my school does it. Whatever you put in parentheses is the opposite of what you think. + is going to the left. - is going to the right but those only apply when in parentheses.

Please help. I need help with my math homework and I’m confused and I only have one attempt. Thanks in Advance!
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

x>-6, x<-4

Step-by-step explanation:

|x+5|>-1

x+5>−1 (Possibility 1)

x+5−5>−1−5 (Subtract 5 from both sides)

x>−6

x+5<−(−1)(Possibility 2)

x+5<1(Simplify both sides of the inequality)

x+5−5<1−5(Subtract 5 from both sides)

x<−4

x>-6 or x<-4
