Given:
average height of a basketball player = 79 inches
μ = 70 inches
<span>σ = 3 inches
</span>
<span>standardize x to z = (x - μ) / σ </span>
<span>P(x > 79) = P( z > (79-70) / 3) </span>
<span>= P(z > 3) = 0.0013
0.0013 x 100% = 0.13%</span>


<span>0.13 % of the adult male population is taller than the average basketball player.</span>

A. Write an equation that compares Tom sand Ann's ages.b. Draw a graph to represent theequation
kompoz [17]

a. The equation that relates Ann's age (x) and Tom's age (y) is a line

The slope-intercept form of a line is:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The slope of the line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is computed as follows:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

From the table, the line passes through the points (4, 8) and (8, 12), then its slope is:

m=\frac{12-8}{8-4}=\frac{4}{4}=1

Substituting with m = 1 and the point (4, 8) into the general equation, we get:

8 = 1(4) + b

8 = 4 + b

8 - 4 = b

4 = b

Finally, the equation that compares Tom's and Ann's age is:

y = x + 4

b. To graph the line y = x + 4, we need to draw two points and then connect them with a line. Replacing with x = 0 into the equation:

y = 0 + 4

y = 4

then, the point (0, 4) is on the line. And we can also use the point (4,8)

Brad has eight more nickels than quarters. Altogether he has $6.10. how many of each does he have
wlad13 [49]

Brad have 19 quarters and 27 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total worth of nickels and quarters = $6.10 = 6.10*100 = 610 cents

One quarter = 25 cents

One nickel = 5 cents

Let,

x represent the number of quarters.

y represent the number of nickels.

According to given statement;

25x+5y=610     Eqn 1

y = x+8              Eqn 2

Putting value of y from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2

25x+5(x+8)=610\\25x+5x+40=610\\30x=610-40\\30x=570

Dividing both sides by 30

\frac{30x}{30}=\frac{570}{30}\\x=19

Putting x=19 in Eqn 2

y=19+8\\y=27

Brad have 19 quarters and 27 nickels.

The temperature at a mountain base camp was −3 degrees Celsius on Monday. Tuesday morning, the temperature was 2 degrees Celsius
kotegsom [21]
It is -3 to start off with, on Monday. On Tuesday morning it would be -3 - 2 degrees, = -5 degrees. By Tuesday evening it was 4 degrees lower than in the morning, so -5 - 4 degrees = -9 degrees on Tuesday evening.

Hope this helps xox :)

What is the horizontal asymptote of the function f(x)= -2x/x+1
daser333 [38]

<u>Answer:</u>

-2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have been given a function f(x)=\frac{-2x}{x+1} and we are asked to find the horizontal asymptote of our given function.

Recalling the rules for a horizontal asymptote:

1. If the numerator and denominator have equal degree, the horizontal asymptote will be the ratio of the leading coefficients.

2. If the polynomial of denominator has larger degree than the numerator, then the horizontal asymptote will be the x-axis or y=0.

3. If the polynomial of numerator has larger degree than denominator, then the function has no horizontal asymptote.

Here, the numerator and denominator are of the same degree. So the horizontal asymptote will be the ratio of the coefficients.

Horizontal asymptote = -\frac{2}{1} = -2
