Answer: 3

7x + 15 = 41 or 7x - 15 = 41

Answer:

7x - 15 = 41

Step-by-step explanation:

The key word is "difference" so keep that in mind. 7 times a number and 15 is 41. The "number" is unknown so a variable can be put in place until the number is known. The whole equation equals 41. The word "and" is where the "difference" or subtraction sign should go. Now we have a translated description! I hope this helps and if I'm wrong, please let me know!

What is the measure in radians for the central angle of a circle whose radius r = 4 cm, and intercepted arc length s = 1.2 cm? E

rodikova [14]

Answer:

17.1972degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

length of an arc = theta/360 * 2πr

Substitute the given angle;

1.2 = theta/360 * 2(3.14)(4)

1.2 = theta/360 * 25.12

1.2/25.12 = theta/360

0.04777 = theta/360

theta = 360 * .04777

theta = 17.1972

Hence the required angle is 17.1972degrees

The operation manager at a tire manufacturing company believes that the mean mileage of a tire is 48,564 miles, with a standard

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

0.0091 = 0.91% probability that the sample mean would be less than 48,101 miles in a sample of 281 tires if the manager is correct

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 normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$
