Answer:

  b. The variable will always be the letter x (false)

Step-by-step explanation:

Variables can be any letter or symbol. The letter x is often used as a variable, but that is not the only choice. Many formulas, for example, make use of variables that have letters reminding you what they stand for.

For example, the formula ...

  A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h

uses the variables A, b1, b2, and h to represent area, base-1, base-2, and height, respectively. The letter x is not used at all.

If the heights of 300 students are normally distributed with mean 68.0 inches and standard deviation 3.0 inches, how many studen
Lunna [17]
Given:
μ = 68 in, population mean
σ = 3 in, population standard deviation

Calculate z-scores for the following random variable and determine their probabilities from standard tables.

x = 72 in:
z = (x-μ)/σ = (72-68)/3 = 1.333
P(x) = 0.9088

x = 64 in:
z = (64 -38)/3 = -1.333
P(x) = 0.0912

x = 65 in
z = (65 - 68)/3 = -1
P(x) = 0.1587

x = 71:
z = (71-68)/3 = 1
P(x) = 0.8413

Part (a)
For x > 72 in, obtain
300 - 300*0.9088 = 27.36

Answer: 27

Part (b)
For x ≤ 64 in, obtain
300*0.0912 = 27.36

Answer: 27

Part (c)
For 65 ≤ x ≤ 71, obtain
300*(0.8413 - 0.1587) = 204.78

Answer: 204

Part (d)
For x = 68 in, obtain
z = 0
P(x) = 0.5
The number of students is
300*0.5 = 150

Answer: 150

Q2) If z is directly proportional to x and z = 12 when x = 3, find the value of x when z = 18.
LenKa [72]

Answer:

4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Set up the direct proportion equation

z = kx

→ Substitute in the values

12 = 3k

→ Divide both sides by 3 to isolate k

4 = k

→ Substitute the value of k back into the original direct proportion equation

z = 4x

→ Substitute the value of z in

18 = 4x

→ Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x

4.5 = x

If line KM bisects angle JKL, angle JKL = 92 degrees, and angle MKL = (5x+1) degrees, find the value of
kherson [118]

The value of the variable x is found to be x = 9.

<h3>What is termed as angle bisector?</h3>
  • In geometry, an angle bisector is a line that divides an angle into two equal angles.
  • A bisector is something that divides a shape or thing into two equal portions.
  • An angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two equal components of the same measurement.

A bisected angle divides the two sides in equals.

JKM = LKM

As, both are equal.

Then, each of these angles are 1/2 the angle JKL.

1/2 JKL = MKL

1/2 ×( 92) = 5x + 1

Further simplifying;

46 = 5x+1

Subtract 1 from each side

46-1 = 5x

45 = 5x

Divide each side by 5

45/5 = 5x/5

x = 9

Thus, the value of the unknown variable is found to be x = 9 units.
