Answer:

The dryer costs 425 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

x - washer

y - dryer

x+y=774

x=y-76

(y-76)+y=774

2y=774+76, 2y=850

y=425

y-76=x

425-76=x

x=349

At a Psychology final exam, the scores are normally distributed with a mean 73 points and a standard deviation of 10.6 points. T

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The score that separates the lower 5% of the class from the rest of the class is 55.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

In this question:

$\mu = 73, \sigma = 10.6$

Find the score that separates the lower 5% of the class from the rest of the class.

This score is the 5th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.05. So it is X when Z = -1.645.

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

$-1.645 = \frac{X - 73}{10.6}$

$X - 73 = -1.645*10.6$

$X = 55.6$

The score that separates the lower 5% of the class from the rest of the class is 55.6.

Hellppppp........ pleasee

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The set of points in the 2nd row does not represent a function, because the x-coordinate 2 is associated with more than one y-coordinate.

Functions are one-to-one: For each x value there is one y value associated.

How is the graph of the parent quadratic function transformed to produce the graph of y = negative (2 x + 6) squared + 3?

bearhunter [10]

We start with the parent function

$f(x)=x^2$

The first child function would be

$g(x)=(2x)^2$

We have multiplied the input of the function by a constant: we have

$g(x)=f(2x)$

This kind of transformation result in a horizontal stretch/compression. If the multiplier is greater than 1, we have a compression. So, this first child causes a horizontal compression with compression rate 2.

The second child function would be

$h(x)=(2x+6)^2$

We added 6 to the input of the function: we have

$h(x)=g(x+6)$

This kind of transformation result in a horizontal translation. If the constant added is positive, we translate to the left. So, this second child causes a translation 6 units to the left.

The third child function would be

$l(x)=-(2x+6)^2$

We changed the sign of the previous function (i.e. we multiplied it by -1): we have

$l(x)=-h(x)$

This kind of transformation result in a vertical stretch/compression. If the multiplier is greater than 1 we have a stretch, if it's between 0 and 1 we have compression. If it's negative, we reflect across the x axis, and then apply the stretch/compression. In this case, the multiplier is -1, so we only reflect across the x axis.

The fourth child function would be

$m(x)=-(2x+6)^2+3$

We added 3 to previous function: we have

$m(x)=l(x)+3$

This kind of transformation result in a vertical translation. If the constant added is positive, we translate upwards. So, this last child causes a translation 3 units up.

Recap

Starting from the parent function $y=x^2$ , we have to:
