Well the answer is 13 and cannot be written in simplest form because 1/2 and 1/2 have the same denominator so you add them together and you get 2/2 which is a whole number then you add the other whole numbers but don’t forget the new whole number then add the 5 and you get 13 cm

Three potential employees took an aptitude test. Each person took a different version of the test. The scores are reported below

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Due to the higher Z-score, Demetria should be offered the job.

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.

In this question:

Whichever applicant had grade with the highest z-score should be offered the job.

Demetria got a score of 85.1; this version has a mean of 61.1 and a standard deviation of 12.

For Demetria, we have $X = 85.1, \mu = 61.1, \sigma = 12$ . So

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

$Z = \frac{85.1 - 61.1}{12}$

$Z = 2$

Vincent got a score of 299.2; this version has a mean of 264 and a standard deviation of 22.

For Vincent, we have $X = 299.2, \mu = 264, \sigma = 22$ .

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

$Z = \frac{299.2 - 264}{22}$

$Z = 1.6$

Tobias got a score of 7.26; this version has a mean of 7.1 and a standard deviation of 0.4.

For Tobias, we have $X = 7.26, \mu = 7.1, \sigma = 0.4$ .

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

$Z = \frac{7.26 - 7.1}{0.4}$

$Z = 0.4$

Due to the higher Z-score, Demetria should be offered the job.

Solve the x <br> 1/3x + 5> 10

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The solution to the inequality is:

$\frac{1}{3}x+5>10\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:x>15\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:\left(15,\:\infty \:\right)\end{bmatrix}$

The solution graph is also attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

We are given the expression

$\frac{1}{3}x+5>10$

To determine

Solve for x

Given the expression

$\frac{1}{3}x+5>10$

Subtract 5 from both sides

$\frac{1}{3}x+5-5>10-5$

Simplify

$\frac{1}{3}x>5$

Multiply both sides by 3

$3\cdot \frac{1}{3}x>5\cdot \:3$

Simplify

$x>15$

Thus, we conclude that:

$x>15$

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is:

$\frac{1}{3}x+5>10\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:x>15\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:\left(15,\:\infty \:\right)\end{bmatrix}$

The solution graph is also attached below.

The graph of a proportional relationship contains the point (8, 4).

Softa [21]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation}\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=kx\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
k=constant\ of\\
\qquad variation
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
(\stackrel{x}{8}~~,~~\stackrel{y}{4})\implies 
\begin{cases}
x=8\\
y=4
\end{cases}\implies 4=k8\implies \cfrac{4}{8}=k\implies \cfrac{1}{2}=k
\\\\\\
\boxed{y=\cfrac{1}{2}x}$
