So subtract 55 from 35
35 - 55 = -20
then, put -20 over 55
-20/55 equals -0.36 repeating, rounded to -0.36, which equals 36%
the negative stands for decrease, so it's around 36% decrease
In radical form, the shortest distance from ( -4 , 4 ) and the line y = -2x + 6 is
2√5 units.
Attached below is the calculation to arrive at the answer as well as a graph.
Answer:
The standard deviation of number of hours worked per week for these workers is 3.91.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by

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. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this problem we have that:
The average number of hours worked per week is 43.4, so
.
Suppose 12% of these workers work more than 48 hours. Based on this percentage, what is the standard deviation of number of hours worked per week for these workers.
This means that the Z score of
has a pvalue of 0.88. This is Z between 1.17 and 1.18. So we use
.





The standard deviation of number of hours worked per week for these workers is 3.91.
Yep!
Weighing #1: Start off by splitting the pile of 12 coins evenly into two piles, 6 in each pile. Put one pile on each side of the balance. The side that is weighed down has the fake coin it in. Ignore the other 6 coins.
Weighing #2: Now you have 6 coins left. Split the pile evenly again, 3 in each pile. Repeat the same process and put each pile on one side of the balance. The side that is weighed down has your fake coin in it. Ignore the other 3 coins.
Weighing #3: You have 3 coins left. Take two coins, whichever two you like, and weigh them. If they weigh the same, then the one you didn't weigh is the fake one. If one is heavier, then that heavier one is your fake coin.
