Answer:

z is a variable so it can be any number.

z=-3

if you do -8 times -3 that equals 24.

the answer is -3

Answer:

z stands for 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, subtract 12 from both sides.

-8z + 12 - 12 = -12 - 12

-8z = -24

Next, let's put brackets [] between both numbers. Any number inside of these becomes positive.

[-8z] = [-24]

8z = 24

Finally, let's divide doth sides by 8!

8z/8 = 24/8

z = 3

Use the Law of Cosines to find the missing angle. In triangle JKL, j=3in., k=4in., and l=2.89., find mJ

slega [8]

Using the law of cosine for Triangle KJL, we can write:

$j^{2} = k^{2} + l^{2}-2(k)(l)cos(J) \\ \\ 
2(k)(l)cos(J)=k^{2} + l^{2}- j^{2} \\ \\ 
cos(J)= \frac{k^{2} + l^{2}- j^{2}}{2(k)(l)}$

Using the values of k,j and l, we can write:

$cos(J)= \frac{ 4^{2} + (2.89)^{2} - 3^{2} }{2(4)(2.89)} \\ \\ 
cos(J)= 0.664 \\ \\ 
J= cos^{-1}(0.664) \\ \\ 
J=48.39$

Rounding to nearest integer, the measure of angle J will be 48 degrees.
So option B gives the correct answer

yarga [219]

Answer:

$z= \frac{85-70}{10}=1.5$

$z= \frac{45-35}{5}=2$

So then the correct answer for this case is:

B) Our student, Z= 1.50; his friend, Z=2.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question:

A statistics student wants to compare his final exam score to his friend's final exam score from last year; however, the two exams were scored on different scales. Remembering what he learned about the advantages of Z scores, he asks his friend for the mean and standard deviation of her class on the exam, as well as her final exam score. Here is the information:

Our student: Final exam score = 85; Class: M = 70; SD = 10.

His friend: Final exam score = 45; Class: M = 35; SD = 5.

The Z score for the student and his friend are:

A) Our student, Z= -1.07; his friend, Z= -1.14.

B) Our student, Z= 1.50; his friend, Z=2.00.

C) Our student, Z= 1.07; his friend, Z= -1.14.

D) Our student, Z= 1.07; his friend, Z= 1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution

Let X the random variable that represent the scores for our student, and for this case we know that:

$E(X)= \mu =70, SD_X=\sigma=10$

The z score is given by:

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

If we use this we got:

$z= \frac{85-70}{10}=1.5$

Let Y the random variable that represent the scores for his friend, and for this case we know that:

$E(Y)= \mu =35, SD_Y=\sigma=5$

The z score is given by:

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

If we use this we got:

$z= \frac{45-35}{5}=2$

So then the correct answer for this case is:

B) Our student, Z= 1.50; his friend, Z=2.00.

Which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply.

nlexa [21]

1. true
example:
2+3=3+2
5=5

2. true
example:
3*4=4*3
12=12

3. false
example:
6-3=3-6
3≠-3

4. true
example:
(4 + 3) + 2= 4 + (3 + 2)
7 + 2 = 4 + 5
9 = 9

5. false
example:
(9 - 6) - 3 = 9 - (6 - 3)
3 - 3 = 9 - 3
0 ≠ 6

6. true
example:
2(3+4)= 2*3+2*4
2 * 7 = 6 + 8
14 = 14
