A student needs three pieces of wire for a science project. The second piece must be 3 times as long as the first. The third pie

ce must be twice as long as the second. The student has 350 inches of wire to make the three pieces. Let x be the length of the first piece of wire.

Answer:

A. 10x=350

B. 35 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

So the first piece is x, and the second is 3 times as long, so the second is 3x, and the third pice is twice as long has the second piece which is 3x, so third piece is 6x. The total is 350 inches, so x+3x+6x=350. Simplify that so you get 10x=350. Divide both sides by 10, and you get x=35 inches. Hope that helps!

Suppose that diameters of a new species of apple have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 7.43cm and a standard deviation
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Approximately 68% of the apples have diameters that are between 7.08cm and 7.78cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean of 7.43cm, standard deviation of 0.35cm.

What percentage of the apples have diameters that are between 7.08cm and 7.78cm?

7.43 - 0.35 = 7.08 cm.

7.43 + 0.35 = 7.778 cm.

Within 1 standard deviation of the mean, so approximately 68% of the apples have diameters that are between 7.08cm and 7.78cm.

I am thinking of six different odd numbers, the mean of the numbers is 16, the median is 15, the range is 26, the greatest numbe
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

information from the range

If the range is 26 and the largest number is 31 then the smallest number is 31 - 26  = 5

Information from the median

The median must consist of 2 numbers because we have 6 integers for the data and median must consist of the middle 2. Since we are told that the median is 15 and we need 2 integers the other integer must  be 15 as well..

So what do we know so far.

5      15 15         31

Information from the mean

There are six integers making up the series of numbers. The mean is 16. Therefore all 6 integers added together must be 6 * 16 = 96

What do we have so for?

5 + 15 + 15 + 31 = 66

What do the other two numbers sum to?

96 -66 = 30

Getting the answer.

The first number to try must be 13. It has to be below 15 (the median and odd. That's 13).

So now we have

5 13 15 15 ___ 31

But from the mean we need 30

30 - 13 = 17

And we have a winner because 17 is above 15.

Answer

5 13 15 15 17 31
