Answer:

12.8, 11.6, 10.4, 9.2, 8.0, 6.8, 5.6

3, 1.5, 0.75, 0.375, 0.1875, 0.09375, 0.046875

Step-by-step explanation:

The first one is arithmetic as the pattern is deducting 1.2, second one is geometric as it is dividing 2.

How is multiplying fractions the same as multiplying whole numbers and different

gtnhenbr [62]

Well one similarity is that since you have to multiply, integer rules still apply and that you can also multiply variables. A difference is that with fractions, you have to make a number into an improper fraction rather than just the regular way which would most likely be the whole number with a decimal.

WHOEVER ANSWERS FIRST WITH A SERIOUS QUESTION WILL GET BRAINLIEST

shusha [124]

Answer: See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the amount of money and divide by the ounces for how much it costs per ounce

1.35 / 12 = 0.1125 per ounce

2.10 / 20 = 0.105 per ounce

3.60 / 32 = 0.1125 per ounce

The Big Swig would be the best deal because the cost per ounce is the lowest, getting you the cheaper price for a good size. I believe I did this right, hope I could help.

With a height of 68 in, Nelson was the shortest president of a particular club in the past century. The club presidents of the

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

a. The positive difference between Nelson's height and the population mean is: $\\ \lvert 68-70.7 \rvert = \lvert 70.7-68 \rvert\;in = 2.7\;in$ .

b. The difference found in part (a) is 1.174 standard deviations from the mean (without taking into account if the height is above or below the mean).

c. Nelson's z-score: $\\ z = -1.1739 \approx -1.174$ (Nelson's height is below the population's mean 1.174 standard deviations units).

d. Nelson's height is usual since $\\ -2 < -1.174 < 2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The key concept to answer this question is the z-score. A z-score "tells us" the distance from the population's mean of a raw score in standard deviation units. A positive value for a z-score indicates that the raw score is above the population mean, whereas a negative value tells us that the raw score is below the population mean. The formula to obtain this z-score is as follows:

$\\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$ [1]

Where

$\\ z$ is the z-score.

$\\ \mu$ is the population mean.

$\\ \sigma$ is the population standard deviation.

From the question, we have that:

Nelson's height is 68 in. In this case, the raw score is 68 in $\\ x = 68$ in.
$\\ \mu = 70.7$ in.
$\\ \sigma = 2.3$ in.

With all this information, we are ready to answer the next questions:

a. What is the positive difference between Nelson's height and the mean?

The positive difference between Nelson's height and the population mean is (taking the absolute value for this difference):

$\\ \lvert 68-70.7 \rvert = \lvert 70.7-68 \rvert\;in = 2.7\;in$ .

That is, the positive difference is 2.7 in.

b. How many standard deviations is that [the difference found in part (a)]?

To find how many standard deviations is that, we need to divide that difference by the population standard deviation. That is:

$\\ \frac{2.7\;in}{2.3\;in} \approx 1.1739 \approx 1.174$

In words, the difference found in part (a) is 1.174 standard deviations from the mean. Notice that we are not taking into account here if the raw score, x, is below or above the mean.

c. Convert Nelson's height to a z score.

Using formula [1], we have

$\\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$

$\\ z = \frac{68\;in - 70.7\;in}{2.3\;in}$

$\\ z = \frac{-2.7\;in}{2.3\;in}$

$\\ z = -1.1739 \approx -1.174$

This z-score "tells us" that Nelson's height is 1.174 standard deviations below the population mean (notice the negative symbol in the above result), i.e., Nelson's height is below the mean for heights in the club presidents of the past century 1.174 standard deviations units.

d. If we consider "usual" heights to be those that convert to z scores between minus2 and 2, is Nelson's height usual or unusual?

Carefully looking at Nelson's height, we notice that it is between those z-scores, because:

$\\ -2 < z_{Nelson} < 2$

$\\ -2 < -1.174 < 2$

Then, Nelson's height is usual according to that statement.

Please answer these and find the slope intercept form for each one. Best answer gets brainliest

vovikov84 [41]

You just look where the line crossed the y axis and that’s your y intercept and for the slope you look at where the line perfectly intersects the squares and then count rise to run to each dot
