There were 3,496 parts in total that were tooled by the machine.

Assuming the total number of parts tooled is x, that means that 1/8 of x is 437 parts because that was the proportion of the total that was rejected.

To find the total number of parts therefore, use the formula:

<em>Proportion of rejects × x = Number of parts rejected </em>

1/8 × x = 437

1/8x = 437

x = 437 ÷ 1/8

x = 437 x 8

x = 3,496 parts

In conclusion, there was 3,496 parts.

the distance between Two Cities on a map is 4.125. find the actual distance if the scale on the map was 2 inches = 40 miles

atroni [7]

Answer:

85 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets begin by figuring out the number of miles in 4 inches. Since every 2 inches make 40 miles, we can figure out that there are 80 miles in 4 inches. To figure out that .125 part, we multiply 40 by .125, to get 5. We can add 80 plus 5 to get our grand total of 85 miles.

The dashed curve on the graph shows the initial function . What is the equation of the solid curve?

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

f(x) = sqrt(x + 6)

y = sqrt(x + 6)

x = sqrt(y + 6)

Stx^2 = y + 6

x^2 - 6 = y

red line: f(x) = sqrt(x + 6)

green line: f^-1(x) = x^2 - 6

Fill in the blank. A(n) _______ distribution has a "bell" shape. A(n) ▼ outlier polygon normal relative frequency distributio

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Normal Distribution

Step-by-step explanation: A normal distribution will generally have a bell shape. It is also called a bell curve, due to its bell shape.

It is also called Gaussian distribution. The point near the peak is where most of the observations cluster, while the values further away from the mean will be distributed equally in both directions on the curve.
