Answer:

a. 97.72%

Step-by-step explanation:

The weights of boxes follows normal distribution with mean=28 ounce and standard deviation=0.9 ounces.

a. We have to calculated the percentage of the boxes that weighs more than 26.2 ounces.

Let X be the weight of boxes. We have to find P(X>26.2).

The given mean and Standard deviations are μ=28 and σ=0.9.

P(X>26.2)= P((X-μ/σ )> (26.2-28)/0.9)

P(X>26.2)= P(z> (-1.8/0.9))

P(X>26.2)= P(z>-2)

P(X>26.2)= P(0<z<∞)+P(-2<z<0)

P(-2<z<0) is computed by looking 2.00 in table of areas under the unit normal curve.

P(X>26.2)=0.5+0.4772

P(X>26.2)= 0.9772

Thus, the percent of the boxes weigh more than 26.2 ounces is 97.72%

Alexxandr [17]
Using the data, we can calculate the price per bottle for Brand A, which is:
24 / 2
= $12 per bottle

We also know that the slope of a line shows the rate of change, so the price per bottle for Brand B is $15. 

The difference per bottle is 15 - 12 = Brand B is cost $3 more per bottle
The difference for 9 bottles will be: 9 * 3 = $27.

Use a graphing calculator to solve the equation in the interval from 0 to 2pi. Round to the nearest hundredth.
nevsk [136]
On your calculator, make sure you're in radian mode, not degree mode, that you are in a trig coordinate plane (do this by hitting "zoom" and choosing ZTrig), and when you enter the function into the "y =", you have to enter it in like this:  7cos(2x)-3.  Hit "graph" and you'll see that the wave goes through the x-axis in 4 places within your specified interval.  Hit 2nd and "trace" and then "zero".  Move your cursor so it's just above the x-axis where the curve goes through and hit enter, then move it so it's just below the x-axis where the curve goes through and hit enter again.  Hit enter a 3rd time, and you SHOULD see that your x has a value while y = 0.  Do that for all of the places where the curve goes through the x-axis. That's how you find the zeros of a trig curve (or any curve, for that matter) on a calculator.  The zeros are the solutions. If this was solvable like a regular equation, using trig identities and right triangles, you wouldn't have to use your calculator.  But just like when you go to factor a second degree polynomial and you're having trouble with it you can use the quadratic formula and it's never-fail, neither is your calculator.

Determine the value of <br> y if x is 11<br> Y=|x-5|
Degger [83]

The answer is 6.

Absolute value works like this:

If you have just a number inside the bars, then it's positive. If the negative sign is inside the bars, it's still positive. If the negative sign is outside the bars, regardless of what's inside the bars, then it's negative.

Basically, you are adding, because absolute values are positive, unless you have a minus sign outside the absolute value, so 6+5=11.

What you do is this:

y = |x - 5|

y = x + 5

y = 11 + 5

y = 6

Point \blue{A}Astart color blue, A, end color blue is at \blue{(-4, 8)}(−4,8)start color blue, left parenthesis, minus, 4, comma
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The coordinates of point B are (6,7).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are

Blue = A(-4,8)

Purple = M(1,7.5)

Green = B

It is given that point M is the midpoint of point A and B.

Let coordinates of points are (a,b).

Midpoint of two points is

Midpoint=(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2})

M=(\dfrac{-4+a}{2},\dfrac{8+b}{2})

Coordinates of midpoint are (1,7.5).

(1,7.5)=(\dfrac{-4+a}{2},\dfrac{8+b}{2})

On comparing both sides we get

1=\dfrac{-4+a}{2}\Rightarrow 2=-4+a\Rightarrow a=6

7.5=\dfrac{8+b}{2}\Rightarrow 15=8+b\Rightarrow b=7

Therefore, the coordinates of point B are (6,7).
