Answer:

Yes

Step-by-Step

Z-scores are also known as standardized scores. They are scores that have been given a common standard

Answer:

Yes and Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply put, a z-score (also called a standard score) gives you an idea of how far from the mean a data point is. But more technically it's a measure of how many standard deviations below or above the population mean a raw score is. A z-score can be placed on a normal distribution curve.

The video states that 78% of people carry less than $50 in cash; 40% carry less than $20 in cash, and 9% carry no cash. Suppose

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The probability that 12 people in your sample are carrying no cash is 0.0712

Step-by-step explanation:

n = 100

p(no cash) = 0.09

x = 12

By applying binomial distribution

P(x,n) = nCx*px*(1-p)(n-x)

P(x = 12) = 0.074.

The probability that 12 people in your sample are carrying no cash is 0.074.

n = 100

p(less than 50) = 0.78

x = 75

By applying binomial distribution

P(x,n) = nCx*px*(1-p)(n-x)

P(x = 75) = 0.0712

The probability that 12 people in your sample are carrying no cash is 0.0712

(3x-4y)^2-(3x-4y)(3x+4y)

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

$-24xy + 32y^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

We can use the special binomial product formulas:

$(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2$
$(a + b)(a - b) = a^2 - b^2$

<h3>Simplify</h3>

$(3x - 4y)^2 - (3x - 4y)(3x + 4y)$
$(9x^2-24xy+16y^2) - (9x^2 - 16y^2)$
$9x^2 - 9x^2 - 24xy + 16y^2 + 16y^2$
$-24xy + 32y^2$

The simplified form is $-24xy + 32y^2$

Assume we cut the last piece of the pie into two sections (1 and 2) along ray BD

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

If we want the greatest portion of pie, then you must choose the section with the greatest angle. Therefore, we must choose Section 2. But if we want the smallest portion of pie, then we must choose Section 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

From statement, we know that measure of the angle ABC is equal to the sum of measures of angles ABD (<em>section 1</em>) and DBC (<em>section 2</em>), that is to say:

$m \angle ABC = m\angle ABD + m\angle DBC$ (1)

If we know that $m\angle ABC = 40^{\circ}$ , $m\angle ABD = 2\cdot x + 3$ and $m\angle DBC = 4\cdot x + 7$ , then the value of $x$ is:

$(2\cdot x + 3)+(4\cdot x + 7) = 40^{\circ}$

$6\cdot x +10^{\circ} = 40^{\circ}$

$6\cdot x = 30^{\circ}$

$x = 5$

Then, we check the angles of each section:

Section 1

$m\angle ABD = 2\cdot x + 3$

$m\angle ABD = 13^{\circ}$

Section 2

$m\angle DBC = 4\cdot x + 7$

$m\angle DBC = 27^{\circ}$

How long will the spring be if a 2 pound weight is hung on it? Will the length double if you double the weight?

mars1129 [50]

Logically if you double weight on something it means that you are adding the exact same weight as the first object to the same thing to make it twice the weight as the original, so yes... the weight will double if the length is doubled

How to condense logs using properties of logs

Mkey [24]

The logs rules work "backwards", so you can condense ("compress"?) strings of log expressions into one log with a complicated argument. When they tell you to "simplify" a log expression, this usually means they will have given you lots of log terms, each containing a simple argument, and they want you to combine everything into one log with a complicated argument. "Simplifying" in this context usually means the opposite of "expanding".

There is no standard definition, in this context, for "simplifying". You have to use your own good sense. If they give you a big complicated thing and ask you to "simplify", then they almost certainly mean "expand". If they give you a string of log terms and ask you to "simplify", then they almost certainly mean "condense".
