Answer:

positive
negative

Step-by-step explanation:

The thrust of the question is to make sure you understand that increasing the y-coordinate of a point will move the point upward, and decreasing it will move the point downward.

That is adding a positive value "k" to x^2 will move the point (x, x^2) to the point (x, x^2+k), which will be above the previous point by k units.

If k is subtracted, instead of added, then the point will be moved downward.

The blanks are supposed to be filled with positive , and negative .

Comment on the question

The wording of the statement you're completing is a bit odd. If k is negative (-2, for example), this statement is saying the graph is translated down -2 units. It is not. It is translated down |-2| = 2 units. The direction of translation depends on the sign of k. The amount of translation depends on the magnitude of k.

If you thoroughly understand (x, y) coordinates and how they are plotted on a graph, it should be no mystery that changing the y-coordinate will change the vertical position of the graph.

Answer:

(a) 0.932

(b) 0.0653

(d) 0.316

(e) 0.251

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table with mean parameter μ = 5, we can compute the following cumulative and density probability

(a) $P(X \leq 8) = 0.932$ (cumulative)

(b) P(X = 8) = 0.0653 (density)

(d) $P(5 \leq X \leq 8) = P(X \leq 8) - P(X \leq 5) = 0.932 - 0.616 = 0.316$ (cumulative)

(e) $P(5 < X < 8) = P(X \leq 8) - P(X \leq 5) - P(X = 8) = 0.932 - 0.616 - 0.0653 = 0.251$

It’s already in standard form: 93,000,000

If we would put it in scientific notation though, it would be: 9.3 x10 ^7 (to the power of 7)

Mrs. Long just got a new puppy! The puppy is learning how to run on hard wood floors. The puppy is running at a rate if 4 feet p

Answer:

Points apply to the given situation:

(a)The puppy will run into the wall after 5 seconds

(b)The slope is -4 ft per second since the puppy is running at a rate of 4 ft per second.

(c)The y-intercept is 20 ft because the puppy is 20 feet away from the wall.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given,

A puppy is running at a rate = 4 feet per second

A wall is 20 feet away from puppy. That means initially puppy is 20 feet away from the wall.

So, time taken by puppy to reach the wall =

i.e. time take by puppy to reach the wall = = 5 seconds

Now we write the points that apply to this situation:

(a)The puppy will run into the wall after 5 seconds

(b)The slope is -4 ft per second since the puppy is running at a rate of 4 ft per second. {Since the puppy is moving towards the wall that means horizontal distance is decreasing at a rate of -4 feet per second}

(c)The y-intercept is 20 ft because the puppy is 20 feet away from the wall.

A family has two cats named Gordo and Flaco. Gordo weighs 15 pounds and Flaco weighs 8 pounds. A cat’s weight is classified as u

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Gordo's weight = 15 pounds

It is outside the healthy weight range and is in the top 5% of weights of cats.

Gordo's weight makes Gordo unhealthy.

Step-by-step explanation:

μ = mean weight = 9.5 pounds

σ = standard deviation = 1.5 pounds

This is a normal distribution problem

We first calculate the limit of the bottom 5% of weights

Let the z-score for this limit be z'

P(z < z') = 0.05

From the normal distribution table,

z' = -1.645

And the limit for the top 5% which is z" = 1.645.

The weight that corresponds to these scores are then calculated.

Standardized scores are given as

z = (x - μ)/σ

So,

z' = (limit for the bottom 5% - μ)/σ

-1.645 = (limit for the bottom 5% - 9.5)/1.5

limit of the bottom 5% = (-1.645)(1.5) + 9.5 = 7.033 pounds

z" = ( (limit for the top 5% - μ)/σ

1.645 = (limit for the top 5% - 9.5)/1.5

limit of the bottom 5% = (1.645)(1.5) + 9.5 = 11.968 pounds

Therefore the healthy weight range for cats is (7.033 < x < 9.968)

Gordo's weight = 15 pounds

It is outside the healthy weight range and is in the top 5% of weights of cats.

Gordo's weight makes the cat unhealthy.

Flaco's weight = 8 pounds

Flaco's weight lies in the healthy weight range for cats. Hence, Flaco is a healthy cat.
