Slope/gradient = 5
y= MX + C
(-6,-26)
-6 is x1 and -26 is y1
so therefore y= 5x -26
The z-score of a certain data point in the given statistical data is calculated through the equation,
z-score = (x - m) / sd
where x is the data point, m is the mean and sd is the standard deviation.
Substituting the known values,
z-score = (51.8 - 52.3) / 1.8
z-score = -0.277
Rounding the answer to the nearest tenth will give an answer of -0.3.
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
If we plug in any negative number as x, the result will always be greater than 4, which rules out answers A and B
lets try plugging in 4 as x to test answer C:
2(8-4)
2(4)= 8
8 is greater than 4, therefore C is wrong.
Lets try 10 as X (answer D):
2(8-10)
2(-2)
-4
We know that -4 is less than 4, therefore it makes the inequality true! :)
Answer:
The standard deviation of weight for this species of cockroaches is 4.62.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A different species of cockroach has weights that are approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 50 grams. After measuring the weights of many of these cockroaches, a lab assistant reports that 14% of the cockroaches weigh more than 55 grams.
To find : What is the approximate standard deviation of weight for this species of cockroaches?
Solution :
We have given,
Mean 
The sample mean x=55
A lab assistant reports that 14% of the cockroaches weigh more than 55 grams.
i.e. P(X>55)=14%=0.14
The total probability needs to sum up to 1,



The z-score value of 0.86 using z-score table is z=1.08.
Applying z-score formula,

Where,
is standard deviation
Substitute the values,





The standard deviation of weight for this species of cockroaches is 4.62.
The length of the longest side is 17 inches.
