Mrs. Donelly drew the triangle above on the chalkboard and asked her students to write down possible side lengths for a, b, and

c.
Edward wrote down that a = 8, b = 15, and c = 17.
Louis wrote down that a = 2, b = 4, and c = 6.
Which student's answer is correct and why? What could the side lengths be changed to on the incorrect response in order to make it a correct answer?

Use the correct order of operation to solve the following problem 3x (50 - 6^2) ÷ 2 =
Effectus [21]

Answer: 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so first of all the numbers in the parentheses go first.

So 6 to the power of 2 (6^2) would be 6x6 which equals 36

50-36=14

After that you just keep rewriting the problem after every step.

Since the 3 is outside of the parentheses, you would multiply it with the 14

3x14=42

Finally 42÷ 2=21

3x (50 - 6^2) ÷ 2 =

        3(14)÷ 2

           42÷ 2= <u><em>21</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>Hope this helps (:</em></u>

<u><em>Btw sorry if it's a bit confusing but the answer is 21</em></u>

The average life of a certain type of small motor is 10 years with a standard deviation of 2 years. The manufacturer replaces fr
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

She should offer a guarantee of 6.24 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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 problem, we have that:

\mu = 10, \sigma = 2

If she is willing to replace 3% of the motors that fail, how long a guarantee (in years) should she offer?

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.03. So it is X when Z = -1.88. So

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

-1.88 = \frac{X - 10}{2}

X - 10 = -1.88*2

X = 6.24

She should offer a guarantee of 6.24 years.

The Skateboard club has 2 different colors of skateboards blue and red. Can you find the number of skateboards of each color, if
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The number of skateboards of each color is 11 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent blue skateboards and

y represent red skateboards.

From the question, the total number of skateboards is 15, that is,

x + y = 15 ...... (1)

and their product is 44, that is,

xy = 44 ...... (2)

From equation (1),

x + y = 15

We can write that

x = 15 - y ...... (3)

Substitute this into equation (2)

xy = 44

(15-y)y = 44

15y -y² = 44

Then,

y² - 15y + 44 = 0

Solve quadratically

y² -4y -11y + 44 = 0

y(y-4) -11(y-4) = 0

(y-11)(y-4) = 0

y-11 = 0 OR y-4 = 0

y = 11 OR y = 4

Put the values of y into equation (3) for x

x = 15 - y

When y = 11

x = 15 - 11

x = 4

and when y = 4

x = 15 -4

x = 11

(4,11) and (11,4)

It is either 4 blue and 11 red skateboards OR 11 blue and 4 red skateboards.

Hence, the number of skateboards of each color is 11 and 4.
