Answer:

6.45 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

He starts 17 and 1/2 feet off the ground

Elevation relative to ground: 17 1/2

Then he increases the height by 4 and 3/4

Expression: 17 1/2 +4 3/4

Elevation relative to ground: 22 1/4

Next he decreases the elevation by 15.8 feet

Expression: 22.25-15.8

Elevation relative to ground: 6.45

The answer 6.45 feet from the ground

Laboratory experiment shows that the life of the average butterfly is normally distributed with a mean of 18.8 days and a standa
inessss [21]

Answer:

a) 0.4164

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean lifespan (μ) = 18.8 days

Standard deviation (σ) = 2 days

For any given lifespan 'X', the z-score is:

z=\frac{X- \mu}{\sigma} \\z=\frac{X- 18.8}{2}

For X=12.04 days:

z=\frac{12.04 - 18.8}{2} \\z=-3.38

A z-score of -3.38 falls in the 0.036-th percentile of a normal distribution.

For X=18.38 days:

z=\frac{18.38 - 18.8}{2} \\z=-0.21

A z-score of -3.38 falls in the 41.68th percentile of a normal distribution.

The probability that a butterfly lives between 12.04 and 18.38 days is

P=41.68-0.036\\P=41.64\%\ or\ 0.4164

When y is 4, p is 0. 5, and m is 2, x is 2. If x varies directly with the product of p and m and inversely with y, which equatio
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

  \dfrac{xy}{pm}=8

Step-by-step explanation:

If x varies directly as the product of p and m, and inversely with y, the relation can be written ...

  x = k(pm)/y . . . . where k is the constant of proportionality

__

This can be solved for k:

  k = xy/pm

For the given values, the value of k is ...

  k = (2)(4)/((0.5)(2)) = 8

Then the relation between the variables can be written ...

  (xy)/(pm) = 8

trapecia [35]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  C.  100°

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles.

  ∠5 = ∠3 +∠4

  145° = ∠3 +45° . . . . fill in the given values

  100° = ∠3 . . . . . . subtract 45° from both sides
