A line that passes throught the points (2,-3) and (b,7) is parallel to the line y=-2x+17. find the value of b

Neko [114]

Answer:

30 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is equal to (a+b)/2 * h
In this case, the value of a is 5, b is 10, and h is 4. You can substitute those numbers into the formula and get the answer of 30.

A vendor pays a rock band 1/3 of the total profit from T-shirts and sweatshirts sold at every concert. The vendor paid the rock

cluponka [151]

Let's call x = profit from the sweatshirt sales 1) A vendor pays to rock band 13% of the total profit from T-shirts and sweatshirts sold at every concert. 2) the profit from T-shirts sales was $ 1,632 3) The vendor paid the rock band $ 726 after the last concert We then have the following equation: 0.13 * (1632 + x) = 726 Clearing x: (1632 + x) = (726 / 0.13) x = (726 / 0.13) - 1632 = 3953 $ Answer: the profit from sweatshirt sales was 3953 $

Determine+the+percentile+indicating+the+bottom+ranking+20%.+in+other+words,+what+is+the+dollar+number+that+defines+where+the+low

Aloiza [94]

The dollar number that defines where the lowest values falls is

20% percentile value =$20

This is further explained below.

<h3 /><h3>What is the dollar number that defines where the lowest value falls?</h3>

Generally, Now we need to determine the 20th percentile ($20). It indicates that we need to locate a dollar amount that marks the point at which the 20 % data has a value lower than that number.

i=(p/100)*n

Where i is the position of p^th

percentile when the data is presented in ascending order.

i=20/100*50

i=1000/100

i=10

Therefore

n=50

p=20

In conclusion, the 10th position for given data is 20,

Therefore, 20% percentile value =$20

A quality control expert at LIFE batteries wants to test their new batteries. The design engineer claims they have a variance of

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The probability that the mean battery life would be greater than 533.2 minutes (in a sample of 75 batteries) is $\\ P(z>0.48) = P(x>533.2) = 0.3156$

Step-by-step explanation:

The main thing we have to take into account in this question is that we are about to find the probability of a sample mean. The distribution for sample means follows a normal distribution with mean $\\ \mu$ and standard deviation $\\ \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ . Mathematically

$\\ \overline{x} \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

For values of the sample $\\ n \ge 30$ , no matter the distribution the data come from.

And the variable z follows a standard normal distribution, and, as we can remember, this distribution has a mean = 0 and a standard deviation = 1. Mathematically

$\\ z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ [1]

That is

$\\ z \sim N(0, 1)$

We have a variance of 3364. That is, a standard deviation of

$\\ \sigma^2 = 3364; \sigma = \sqrt{3364} = 58$

The population mean is

$\\ \mu = 530$

The sample size is $\\ n = 75$

The sample mean is $\\ \overline{x} = 533.2$

With all this information, we can solve the question

The probability that the mean battery life would be greater than 533.2 minutes

Using equation [1]

$\\ z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$\\ z = \frac{533.2 - 530}{\frac{58}{\sqrt{75}}}$

$\\ z = \frac{3.2}{\frac{58}{8.66025}}$

$\\ z = \frac{3.2}{6.69726}$

$\\ z = 0.47780$

With this value of z we can consult a cumulative standard normal table (or use some statistic program) to find the cumulative probability for z (and remember that this variable follows a standard normal distribution).

Most standard normal tables have values for z for only two decimals, so we can round the previous value for z as z = 0.48.

Then

$\\ P(z$

However, in the question we are asked for $\\ P(z>0.48) = P(x>533.2)$ . As well as all normal distributions, the standard normal distribution is symmetrical around the mean, and we have

$\\ P(z>0.48) = 1 - P(z$

Thus

$\\ P(z>0.48) = 1 - 0.68439$

$\\ P(z>0.48) = 0.31561$

Rounding to four decimal places, we have

$\\ P(z>0.48) = 0.3156$

So, the probability that the mean battery life would be greater than 533.2 minutes is (in a sample of 75 batteries) $\\ P(z>0.48) = P(x>533.2) = 0.3156$ .

1) If x= 4.2 and y = 5, what is the value of the expression

____ [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y-x=0.7

y=x+0.7, so lets plug in that into the expressions instead of y

1)

(y-x)=

x+0.7-x=

x+0.7+(-x)=

x+(-x)+0.7=

x-x+0.7=

0.7

2)

(x-(x+0.7))/((x+0.7)-x)=

(x-x+0.7)/(x+0.7-x)=

(x-x+0.7)/(x+0.7+(-x))=

(x-x+0.7)/(x+(-x)+0.7)=

(x-x+0.7)/(x-x+0.7)=

0.7/0.7=
