Answer:

D. 274

Step-by-step explanation:

A normal distribution of the scores is assumed. In the figure attached, the standard normal distribution table is shown.

If only top 5% of athletes are part of the team, then we need to find the value of the table which has a probability of 95%, that value is between 1.64 and 1.65, so we interpolate it as 1.645. The table was made for a variable with mean = 0 and standard deviation (sd) equal to 1, therefore to refer the result to our variable we compute:

1.645 = (x - mean)/sd

x = 1.645*sd + mean

x = 1.645*15 + 250 ≈ 274

So, 95% of the scores are below 274, then 274 is the minimum qualifying score

If it took 8 hours to clean 12 houses how many houses could be cleaned in 12 hours

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

It takes 8 hours to clean 12 houses so that’s 8/12 to find how many hours it take to clean one house, 8/12 is equal 2/3 . So it takes 2/3 of an hour to clean one house. 2/3 times 12 equals 8. So you want to find how many houses you can clean in 12 hours. The equation is 12= 2/3x , x=18. The answer is 18 houses. Check the work cus I sure didn’t lol, hope this helps

The difference between the two roots of the equation 3x^2+10x+c=0 is 4 2/3 . Find the solutions for the equation.

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Given the equation: $3x^2+10x+c =0$

A quadratic equation is in the form: $ax^2+bx+c = 0$ where a, b ,c are the coefficient and a≠0 then the solution is given by :

$x_{1,2} = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ ......[1]

On comparing with given equation we get;

a =3 , b = 10

then, substitute these in equation [1] to solve for c;

$x_{1,2} = \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4\cdot 3 \cdot c}}{2 \cdot 3}$

Simplify:

$x_{1,2} = \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}$

Also, it is given that the difference of two roots of the given equation is $4\frac{2}{3} = \frac{14}{3}$

i.e,

$x_1 -x_2 = \frac{14}{3}$

Here,

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}$ , ......[2]

$x_2= \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}$ .....[3]

then;

$\frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6} - (\frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}) = \frac{14}{3}$

simplify:

$\frac{2 \sqrt{100- 12c} }{6} = \frac{14}{3}$

$\sqrt{100- 12c} = 14$

Squaring both sides we get;

$100-12c = 196$

Subtract 100 from both sides, we get

$100-12c -100= 196-100$

Simplify:

-12c = -96

Divide both sides by -12 we get;

c = 8

Substitute the value of c in equation [2] and [3]; to solve $x_1 , x_2$

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12\cdot 8}}{6}$

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 96}}{6}$ or

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{4}}{6}$

Simplify:

$x_1 = \frac{-4}{3}$

Now, to solve for $x_2$ ;

$x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 12\cdot 8}}{6}$

$x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 96}}{6}$ or

$x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{4}}{6}$

Simplify:

$x_2 = -2$

therefore, the solution for the given equation is: $-\frac{4}{3}$ and -2.

Given: 5x - 6y = 0, What is the x-intercept?

horrorfan [7]

A, x-intercept is when y=0, so in this case when y=0, the equation becomes 5x=0. Therefore, x must equal 0 for 5x=0. so y=0 and x=0 so the answer it (0,0), which is A.
