Answer:

1.199 ≤ x ≤ 1.201

Step-by-step explanation:

You want ...

|y -7| ≤ 0.005

Substituting the expression for y, you have ...

|5x+1 -7| ≤ 0.005

|x -1.2| ≤ 0.001 . . . . . simplify, divide by 5

-0.0001 ≤ x -1.2 ≤ 0.001 . . . . . "unfold" the absolute value

1.199 ≤ x ≤ 1.201 . . . . . . . . . . . .add 1.2

2/3 + 1/4 what is a simplified expression?

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to get a common denominator of 12

2/3 *4/4 = 8/12

1/4 *3/3 = 3/12

2/3 +1/4

8/12+3/12

it took Simon 33 minutes to run 5.5 miles. did he run faster or slower than 1 mile every 5 minutes how can you tell

vitfil [10]

Simon ran slower than 1 mile every 5 minutes.

Because 33 / 5.5 = 6. So he ran 1 mile every 6 minutes, not 5.

Given:

mean, u = 0

standard deviation σ = 1

Let's determine the following:

(a) Probability of an outcome that is more than -1.26.

Here, we are to find: P(x > -1.26).

Apply the formula:

$z=\frac{x^{\prime}-u}{\sigma}$

Thus, we have:

$\begin{gathered} P(x>-1.26)=\frac{-1.26-0}{1} \\ \\ P(x>-1.26)=\frac{-1.26}{1}=-1.26 \end{gathered}$

Using the standard normal table, we have:

NORMSDIST(-1.26) = 0.1038

Therefore, the probability of an outcome that is more than -1.26 is 0.1038

(b) Probability of an outcome that
