Answer:

When dividing rational numbers, multiply by the "right" reciprocal. In this case, the "right" reciprocal means to take the reciprocal of the fraction on the right-hand side of the division operator.

Answer: multiply by the right reciprocal.

NOTE//the reciprocal of an rational number is the Rational Number Obtained after interchanging the Numerator and Denominator is called Reciprocal of a Rational Number.

The speed limit sign on the freeway said 110 kilometers per hour, but the speedometer on Cesar's car is calibrated in miles per

Lisa [10]

Answer:

68.2 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed limit = 110 kilometers per hour

1 kilometer = 0.62 miles

110 kilometers = x miles

Cross product

1*x = 0.62*110

x = 68.2 miles

Cesar should drive at 68.2 miles per hour to avoid a speeding ticket

110 kilometers per hour = 68.2 miles per hour

Which of the following functions computes a value such that 2.5% of the area under the standard normal distribution lies in the

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

a) NORM.S.INV(0.975)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Some definitions

The standard normal distribution is a particular case of the normal distribution. The parameters for this distribution are: the mean is zero and the standard deviation of one. The random variable for this distribution is called Z score or Z value.

NORM.S.INV Excel function "is used to find out or to calculate the inverse normal cumulative distribution for a given probability value"

The function returns the inverse of the standard normal cumulative distribution(a z value). Since uses the normal standard distribution by default the mean is zero and the standard deviation is one.

2) Solution for the problem

Based on this definition and analyzing the question :"Which of the following functions computes a value such that 2.5% of the area under the standard normal distribution lies in the upper tail defined by this value?".

We are looking for a Z value that accumulates 0.975 or 0.975% of the area on the left and by properties since the total area below the curve of any probability distribution is 1, then the area to the right of this value would be 0.025 or 2.5%.

So for this case the correct function to use is: NORM.S.INV(0.975)

And the result after use this function is 1.96. And we can check the answer if we look the picture attached.

What is the measure of arc WXY

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

152°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P be any point on tangent $\overleftrightarrow{YZ}$ and WY is secant or chord of the $\odot J$ .

$\therefore m\angle WYZ + m\angle WYP = 180°\\(Straight \: line \: \angle 's) \\\therefore 104° + m\angle WYP = 180°\\\therefore m\angle WYP = 180°- 104° \\\red{\boxed {\bold {\therefore m\angle WYP = 76°}}} \\$

NOW, by tangent secant theorem:

$m\angle WYP =\frac{1}{2}\times m(\widehat{WXY}) \\\\76°=\frac{1}{2}\times m( \widehat{WXY}) \\\\76°\times 2 =m( \widehat{WXY}) \\\huge \purple {\boxed {\therefore m(\widehat{WXY}) = 152°}}$
