Read the paragraph. [1] The 1992 Olympic Games took place in Barcelona, Spain. [2] This marked the first year that professional

basketball players were permitted to represent their countries in the games. [3] Previously, only amateur players were allowed to participate such as college athletes. [4] The US squad was called “The Dream Team” because it consisted of some of the best players in the history of the game, including Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird. Which sentence should be revised to improve this paragraph’s sentence fluency?Which are correct representations of the inequality –3(2x – 5) < 5(2 – x)? Select two options. x < 5 –6x – 5 < 10 – x –6x + 15 < 10 – 5x A number line from negative 3 to 3 in increments of 1. An open circle is at 5 and a bold line starts at 5 and is pointing to the right. A number line from negative 3 to 3 in increments of 1. An open circle is at negative 5 and a bold line starts at negative 5 and is pointing to the left.

The sentence that needs to be revised to improve the paragraph's sentence fluency is: sentence 3.

The two correct representations for the inequality can be -6x + 15 < 10 - 5x OR x < 5

In a grammatical context, the correct usage of punctuation marks and active voice is required and needed to be taken into consideration by the writer for effective communication to the reader.

The correct form of the sentence in sentence 3 should be:

  • "Previously, only amateur players, like college athletes, were allowed to participate."

The inequality given is -3(2x - 5) < 5(2 - x). Using the simple algebraic method to solve the given inequality, we have:

= -3(2x - 5) < 5(2 - x)

= -6x + 15 < 10 - 5x

By collecting the like terms, we have:

= 15 - 10 < -5x + 6x

= x < 5

Therefore, the two correct representations for the inequality can be -6x + 15 < 10 - 5x  OR  x < 5

NOTE: The third question is a repetition of an incomplete question.

Answer:

The number of newborns who weighed between 1614 grams and 5182 grams was of 586.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The mean weight was 3398 grams with a standard deviation of 892 grams.

This means that \mu = 3398, \sigma = 892

Proportion that weighed between 1614 and 5182 grams:

p-value of Z when X = 5182 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 1614.

X = 5182

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{5182 - 3398}{892}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a p-value of 0.9772

X = 1614

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{1614 - 3398}{892}

Z = -2

Z = -2 has a p-value of 0.0228

0.9772 - 0.0228 = 0.9544.

Out of 614 babies:

0.9544*614 = 586

The number of newborns who weighed between 1614 grams and 5182 grams was of 586.

Please help. Solve the triangle. Round ans to the nearest tenth.
White raven [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • C = 21°
  • a = 13.3
  • c = 5.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The third angle can be found from the sum of angles in a triangle.

  A + B + C = 180°

  C = 180° -62° -97°

  C = 21°

__

The remaining side lengths can be found using the Law of Sines.

  a/sin(A) = b/sin(B)

  a = sin(62°)(15/sin(97°)) ≈ 13.34

Similarly, ...

  c/sin(C) = b/sin(B)

  c = sin(21°)(15/sin(97°)) ≈ 5.42

The remaining side lengths are approximately ...

  a ≈ 13.3

  c ≈ 5.4

Please help me with precal
Doss [256]

Consider the function f(x)=\sqrt{x}. This function has:

  • the domain x\in [0,\infty);
  • the range y\in [0,\infty).

If the domain of unknown function is [a,\infty), then x\ge a or x-a\ge 0. This means that you have \sqrt{x-a} as a part of needed function.

If the range of unknown function is [b,\infty), then y\ge b. This means that you have to translate function b units up and then the expression of the function is

y=\sqrt{x-a}+b.

Answer: correct choice is B.
