Answer:

73 dimes and 133 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

$13.95 = 1395 cents

5n + 10d = 1395     (since each nickel is 5 cents and each dime is 10 cents)

5n = 1395 - 10d      (subtract 10d from both sides to solve for n)

n = 279 - 2d

n + d = 206

279 - 2d + d = 206   (substitute n with the previous expression)

279 - d = 206         (add variable d and -2d)

-d = -73        (solve for d and divide both sides by negative 1)

d = 73          

n + 73 = 206 (solve for n and subtract both sides by 73)  

n = 133

Lengths of full-term babies in the US are Normally distributed with a mean length of 20.5 inches and a standard deviation of 0.9
mash [69]

Answer:

66.48% of full-term babies are between 19 and 21 inches long at birth

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean length of 20.5 inches and a standard deviation of 0.90 inches.

This means that \mu = 20.5, \sigma = 0.9

What percentage of full-term babies are between 19 and 21 inches long at birth?

The proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 21 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 19. Then

X = 21

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

Z = \frac{21 - 20.5}{0.9}

Z = 0.56

Z = 0.56 has a p-value of 0.7123

X = 19

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

Z = \frac{19 - 20.5}{0.9}

Z = -1.67

Z = -1.67 has a p-value of 0.0475

0.7123 - 0.0475 = 0.6648

0.6648*100% = 66.48%

66.48% of full-term babies are between 19 and 21 inches long at birth

Use a reference angle to write sec255∘ in terms of the secant of a positive acute angle. Do not include the degree symbol in you
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: sec (75) or csc (15)

Step-by-step explanation:

255 is in the 3rd quadrant where the secant is. Here, the tangent and cotangent is positive.

Reference angle for 255 is,

255 - 180 = 75 degrees.

Therefore, sec (255) = sec (75)

= csc (90 - 75) = csc (15)

How do i turn standard form into slope intercept?
Jlenok [28]
Write it in y= mx+b form. Subtract 5x from both sides to get 4y = -5x + 100. Divide by 4 so the answer would be y= -5/4x + 25.
