i might not be exactlly true or not at all but hey at least i tried so i would say for this one just add al of the weights and add that by x??

The equation of a circle is (x - 4)2 + (y - 2)2 = 9. Determine the coordinates of the center of the circle.

Georgia [21]

The equation of a circle is (x - a)² + (y - b)² = r², where the coordinates of the center(C) are C(a,b) and "r" the radius. Here, C(4,2) and if you need, r=3.

Thanks for your trust!!

Katie walks 2 ft forward and 5 ft backwards. Find her displacement traveled.

klasskru [66]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, Katie walks 2 ft forward and 5 ft backwards. We need to find her displacement traveled.

The difference between final position and the initial position is equal to displacement. It is the shorted path covered.

Let forward is +x and backward is -x

Initial position of Katie = +2 ft

Final position of Katie = -5 ft

Displacement = final position - initial position

= -5 - 2

Displacement = -7 ft

So, her displacement is 7 feet in backward direction.

The mean number of words per minute (WPM) read by sixth graders is 84 with a standard deviation of 15 WPM. If 188 sixth graders

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

0.1836 = 18.36% probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by greater than 1.46 WPM

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

The mean number of words per minute (WPM) read by sixth graders is 84 with a standard deviation of 15 WPM.

This means that $\mu = 84, \sigma = 15$

Sample of 188

This means that $n = 188, s = \frac{15}{\sqrt{188}}$

What is the probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by greater than 1.46 WPM?

Greater than 84 + 1.46 = 85.46 or less than 84 - 1.46 = 82.54. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, these probabilities are equal, so we find one of them and multiply by 2.

Probability is is less than 82.54.

P-value of Z when X = 82.54. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{82.54 - 84}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{188}}}$

$Z = -1.33$

$Z = -1.33$ has a p-value of 0.0918

2*0.0918 = 0.1836

0.1836 = 18.36% probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by greater than 1.46 WPM
