Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf z= -0.1}}

Step-by-step explanation:

A z-score helps describe the relationship between a value and the mean of a group of values. Basically, it tells us how many standard deviations away from the mean a value is. The formula is:

z= \frac{x- \mu}{\sigma}

where x is the value, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.

For this standardized exam, the mean is 350 and the standard deviation is 40. We want to find the z-score for a value of 346.

  • x= 346
  • μ= 350
  • σ= 40

Substitute the values into the formula.

z= \frac{ 346-350}{40}

Solve the numerator.

z- \frac{ -4}{40}

Divide.

z= -0.1

The z score is <u>-0.1</u>, so the person with a score of 346 on the exam was 0.1 standard deviations lower than the mean.

A plot of land doubles in size by adding x meters to the length and x meters to the width of the land. if the original plot had
ladessa [460]
Lets write as an equation the info provided in the problem:
original area = 200*300 = 60000 squared meters
Adding x meters to the length is: 300 + x
Adding x meters to the width is: 200 + x
If the area doubles in size we have: 2*<span>60000
Now writing as a single equation all info:
(300 + x)(200 + x) = 120000
We have to make the operations and solve:
60000 + 300x + 200x + x^2 = </span><span>120000
x^2 + 500x - 60000 = 0
This is a squared trinomial, to solve it we need two numbers that subtracted give us 500 and multiplied -60000:
(x + 600)(x -100) = 0
So there are two solutions, x = -600 and x = 100, we choose the positive one:
x = 100
thererefore the value of x is 100 meters</span>

Iron can exist as a solid or liquid. Which statement best comparison solid iron and liquid iron?
tester [92]

Answer: Iron, a solid at room temperature, becomes a liquid at 2800 degrees Fahrenheit (really, REALLY hot) and a gas at 5182 degrees Fahrenheit (about half the temperature of the sun). When things are hot, the molecules and atoms move around more and faster, and when they are cold they are slower.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

X= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

x+x+2+3x-6=31 Combine x's

2x+2+3x-6=31 Continue to combine x's

5x+2-6=31  Combine whole numbers

5x-4=31  Add 4 to both sides

5x=35 Divide by 5

x=7
