A sample of computer tablet batteries has a mean battery life of 28 months and standard deviation of 4 months. What is the lifes
Ulleksa [173]

Using the Empirical Rule, it is found that the lifespans, in months, are given by:

1. 24 and 32.

2. 20 and 36.

3. 16 and 40.

<h3>What is the Empirical Rule?</h3>

It states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

  • Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
  • Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of  the mean.
  • Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Hence, considering the mean of 28 months and the standard deviation of 4 months, the life spans are given by:

1. 24 and 32.

2. 20 and 36.

3. 16 and 40.

A store is selling two mixtures of coffee beans in one-pound bags. The first mixture has 12 ounces of Sumatra combined with 4 ou
ololo11 [35]
We let x as the cost of one ounce of Sumatra and y as the cost of one ounce of Celebes Kalossi. For mixture 1, we have 12x + 4y = 32 and for mixture b, we have 4x + 12y = 40

First, Multiply eq. 1 by 4
4(12x + 4y = 32)4        ⇒    36x + 12y = 96

We now have 
(36x + 12y = 96) – (4x + 12y = 40)
<span>X = 1.75     ⇒ cost of one ounce of Sumatra 
</span>
Substitute x to either equation to get the value of y
12(1.75) + 4y = 324
y = 32-21
4y = 11
Y = 2.75     ⇒ cost of one ounce of Celebes Kalossi

C. Write an equation of the line that contains the given point and has the given slope. Write the equation in slope intercept fo
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first problem, we can plug in the slope of -5 for m:

y = -5x + b

To solve for b, we plug in the given point (-2, 2):

2 = -5(-2) + b

2 = 10 + b

b = -8

This gives us the equation:

y = -5x -8

For the second problem, we can plug in the slope of 1 for m:

y = x + b

To solve for b, we plug in the given point (0, -2):

-2 = 0 + b

b = -2

This gives us the equation:

y = x - 2

7 as a percentage of 20
Gennadij [26K]

7 as a percentage of 20 just means what percentage of 20 is 7. To do this, we must divide 7 by 20. This is how you answer this. If you do so, then you will get 0.35. This shows that it is 35%. Note that when you get a decimal number, then you must multiply it by 100% to get the percentage equivalent of that number. Therefore, 7 as a percentage of 20 is 35%.
