Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is the relationship of two numbers. ... A rate is a little bit different than the ratio, it is a special ratio. It is a comparison of measurements that have different units, like cents and grams. A unit rate is a rate with a denominator of 1.

In a recent year, Washington State public school students taking a mathematics assessment test had a mean score of 276.1 and a s

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

a) $\mu_{\bar x} =\mu = 276.1$

$\sigma_{\bar x} =\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{34.4}{\sqrt{64}}=4.3$

b) From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu=276.1, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=4.3)$

c) $P(\bar X \geq 285)=P(Z\geq \frac{285-276.1}{4.3}=2.070)$

$P(Z\geq2.070)=1-P(Z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable the represent the scores for the test analyzed. We know that:

$\mu=E(X) = 276.1 , \sigma=Sd(X) = 34.4$

And we select a sample size of 64.

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Part a

For this case the mean and standard error for the sample mean would be given by:

$\mu_{\bar x} =\mu = 276.1$

$\sigma_{\bar x} =\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{34.4}{\sqrt{64}}=4.3$

Part b

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu=276.1, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=4.3)$

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

$P(\bar X \geq 285)$

And we can use the z score defined as:

$z=\frac{\bar x -\mu}{\sigma_{\bar x}}$

And using this we got:

$P(\bar X \geq 285)=P(Z\geq \frac{285-276.1}{4.3}=2.070)$

And using a calculator, excel or the normal standard table we have that:

$P(Z\geq2.070)=1-P(Z$

Which graph best represents the solution set of 2/3x + y ≤ − 2?

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is D. Easy way to tell, the less than or equal to sign indicates a solid line in the graph. Equal=solid line. Also when you solve for y, the slope of the line (-2/3)is negative, indicating a line sloping downward.

The wind blew away 24 of your muffins. That was 3/4 of them! How many are left?

forsale [732]

Set up a proportion:

3/4/24 = 1/x

Cross multiply:

3/4x = 24

Divide 3/4 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, 4/3:

x = 24 * 4/3

x = 96/3

x = 32

So you had a total of 32 muffins, now subtract this from the amount that blew away to find out how many you have left:

32 - 24 = 8

So you have 8 muffins left.

Translate (3, – 4) down 3 units.<br> Then reflect the result over the y-axis.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Best advice: make a sketch (which I can't do here).

When you reflect in the x axis, only the y value changes...so (3, -4) reflects to (3,4).

Translating down (i.e. in the negative direction) again means the x value (the abscissa) doesn't change, only the y value (the ordinate)...so the final value of the point is (3,1).

Use the grouping method to factor the polynomial below completely.

xxMikexx [17]

The correct answer is C, if you use the distributive property and multiply all of them by each other you would get x^3+2x^2+3x+6.

Hope this helps :-)
