r at his​ school, with an ERA of 2.89. ​Also,alice had the lowest ERA of any female pitcher at the school with an ERA of 3.31 . For the​ males, the mean ERA was 5.083 and the standard deviation was 0.672. For the​ females, the mean ERA was 4.032 and the standard deviation was 0.649. Find their respective​ z-scores.

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.

Obtuse is to more than 90° as reflex is to​
Simora [160]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  >180° (more than 180°)

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles are classified as ...

  • acute: < 90°
  • right: = 90°
  • obtuse: > 90°
  • straight/linear: = 180°
  • reflex: > 180°

It seems that we're looking at definitions:

  obtuse : >90° :: reflex : >180°

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Width: \frac{3in}{8ft} = \frac{5in}{x} (cross multiply)

   = 40 ÷3 ≈ 13.3ft

Width: \frac {3in}{8ft} = \frac{6.5in}{x}

   = 17.3

A=e × w

   = 13.3 × 17.3 ≈ 230.09 ≈ 230.1
