Answer:

P(200\leq X\leq 400)=P(\frac{200-240}{12}\leq \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\leq \frac{400-240}{12})=P(-3.33\leq Z \leq 13.33)

=P(Z

So then the correct answer would be:

B) .9996

Step-by-step explanation:

The exact way to solve this problem is using the binomial distribution, assuming that our random variable of interest is "number of students living in apartments" represented by X and X \sim Bin(n=600, p =0.4)

And we want this probability:

P(200 \leq X \leq 400) [tex]In order to find this probability we can use the foloowing excel code:"=BINOM.DIST(400,600,0.4,TRUE)-BINOM.DIST(199,600,0.4,TRUE)"And we got:[tex] P(200 \leq X \leq 400) =0.999675[tex]But for this case the problem says that we need to approximate, so then we can use the normal approximation to the normal distribution. We need to check the conditions in order to use the normal approximation.
[tex]np=600*0.4=240\geq 10

n(1-p)=600*(1-0.4)=360 \geq 10

So we see that we satisfy the conditions and then we can apply the approximation.

If we appply the approximation the new mean and standard deviation are:

E(X)=np=600*0.4=240

\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{600*0.4(1-0.4)}=12

And then X \sim N (\mu = 240, \sigma= 12)

And we are interested on the following probability:

P(200\leq X\leq 400)=P(\frac{200-240}{12}\leq \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\leq \frac{400-240}{12})=P(-3.33\leq Z \leq 13.33)

=P(Z

So then the correct answer would be:

B) .9996

Expand the expression and collect like terms.<br><br> - g - 4(2g - 6)
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

A.T.Q

first we need to open the bracket

,when we open breaket the sign in the bracket will change

so the question is

- g - 4 + 2g + 6

now, we take like terms together

- g + 2g - 4 + 6

g + 2 is the answer by solving

3 gallons of paint cover 900 square feet. How many gallons will cover 300<br> square feet?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

1 gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the relationship is direct, meaning as the number of square feet decreases, the number of gallons also decreases.

3:900 = x:300

solution:

3(300) = 900x

900=900x

x=1

Which calculation will ALWAYS give a result greater than 1? A.5 × a number less than 1 B.4/9+ a fraction less than 12 C. 1 3/4 -
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

  C.  1 3/4 - (a fraction less than 3/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Your number sense should be able to help you with this one.

A. 5 × 1/10 = 1/2, not a number greater than 1

B. 4/9 + 1/3 = 7/9, not a number greater than 1

C. 1 3/4 -1/2 = 1 1/4, a number greater than 1 (see below for more explanation)

D. 7/8 × 1/2 = 7/16, not a number greater than 1.

__

<em>More explanation</em>

Let x represent a number less than 3/4. Then we want to make sure that ...

  y = 1 3/4 - x

will be greater than 1.

Solving for x, we get ...

  x = 1 3/4 - y

Applying the requirement that x < 3/4, we have ...

  x < 3/4

  (1 3/4 -y) < 3/4

  1 3/4 < y + 3/4 . . . . . . add y

  1 < y . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3/4

We see that the condition on x makes sure that y is always greater than 1.

NEED HELP WITH PART B
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

y = -20x + 100

Step-by-step explanation:

As per your requirement For Part B, the solution is

The equation in slope-intercept form to model the relations is below:-

To reach 2 points on the graph the line passes through

lets use p1(0, 100), p2(1, 80)

now we will compute the slope:

m = \frac{(y2 - y1)}{(x2 - x1)}

m = \frac{(80 - 100)}{(1 - 0)}

= -20

and now use line equation in form point-slope:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 100 = -20(x - 0)

y = -20x + 100
