5 0

Answer:

x= 7/5 (1 2/5 or 1.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign.

12x-15+3x=6

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign.

12x+3x=6+15

Collect like terms.

15x=21

Divide both sides of the equation by 15.

x=7/5 (1 2/5 or 1.4)

Which of the following mixed numberd is represented by the letter A in number line shown?​
pentagon [3]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The line is divided into 9 parts between 1 and 2

A is situated 6 parts of the way between 1 and 2, that is

\frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3} ← cancelling by 3

Hence

A = 1 + \frac{2}{3} = 1 \frac{2}{3} → A

A data set lists weights​ (lb) of plastic discarded by households. The highest weight is 5.31 ​lb, the mean of all of the weight
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

a) The difference is of 3.222 lbs.

b) 1.64 standard deviations.

c) Z = 1.64

d) Not significant, as the z-score of 1.64 is between -2 and 2.

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.

The mean of all of the weights is x=2.088 ​lb, and the standard deviation of the weights is s=1.968 lb.

This means that \mu = 2.088, \sigma = 1.968

a. What is the difference between the weight of 5.31 lb and the mean of the​ weights?

This is X - \mu = 5.31 - 2.088 = 3.222

The difference is of 3.222 lbs.

b. How many standard deviations is that​ [the difference found in part​ (a)]?

This is the z-score. So

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

Z = \frac{5.31 - 2.088}{1.968}

Z = 1.64

1.64 standard deviations.

c. Convert the weight of 5.31 lb to a z score.

Z = 1.64, as found above.

d. If we consider weights that convert to z scores between −2 and 2 to be neither significantly low nor significantly​ high, is the weight of 5.31 lb​ significant?

Not significant, as the z-score of 1.64 is between -2 and 2.

What is the similarity ratio of a cube with volume 729m^3 to a cube with volume 3375 m^3
liubo4ka [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

3/5

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

We are to find the similarity ratio of a cube with volume  729 m^3 to a cube with volume 3375 m^3.

We know the formula for the ratio of two cubes:

\frac{V_1}{V_2} =k^3

where k is the similarity ratio of the two cubes.

Substituting the given values in the formula to find k:

k^3 = \frac {729} {3375}

k^3 = \frac {27} {125}

k^3 = (\frac {27} {125})^3

k=\frac{3}{5}

Therefore, the similarity ratio of the two cubes is 3/5.

PLEASE ANSWER!! WILL MARK AS THE BRAINLIEST!! EXPLAIN IT TO ME BECAUSE I AM NOT UNDERSTANDING ANYTHING!!!!!
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
P represents the population in millions.

An exponential function with a positive exponent means function increases with time t.
An exponential function with a negative exponent means function decreases with time t.
So we're looking for a function with a NEGATIVE exponent.

Also, since question says population will remain CONSTANT at the minimum of 2 (millions) insects, so it should not be a function of time t.
Therefore this condition should be written as P>=2 (millions) [and not 2t].

Given the above  information, it will be up to you to choose the correct answer choice.
