Answer:

a = 16/3 or 5 1/3 or 5.33...

Step-by-step explanation:

to find a you must first make all of the denominators the same

you must find 4 6 and 2s CGF

and that is 12

so multiply a/4 by 3/3 and get 3a/12

then multiply 5/6 by 2/2 and get 10/12

and lastly multiply 1/2 by 6/6 and get 6/12

at this point you can set the equation up like this

3a/12 - 10/12 = 6/12

but then you can multiply everything by 12

3a - 10 = 6

and then solve

add 10 to both sides

3a = 16

then divide 3 on each side

a = 16/3 or 5 1/3 or 5.33...

Let;

A(-8,6) B(6,6) C(6, -4) D(-8, -4)

Let's find the length AB

x₁= -8 y₁=6 x₂=6 y₂=6

We will use the distance formula;

$d=\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

$=\sqrt[]{(6+8)^2+(6-6)^2}$ $=\sqrt[]{14^2+0}$ $=14$

Next, we will find the width BC

B(6,6) C(6, -4)

x₁= 6 y₁=6 x₂=6 y₂=-4

substitute into the distance formula;

$d=\sqrt[]{(6-6)^2+(-4-6)^2}$

$=\sqrt[]{(-10)^2}$ $=\sqrt[]{100}$ $=10$

Area = l x w

= 14 x 10

= 140 square units

The distribution of the amount of money spent by students for textbooks in a semester is approximately normal in shape with a me

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Option D) $275

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = $235

Standard Deviation, σ = $20

We are given that the distribution of amount of money spent by students is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.975

$P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 235}{20})=0.975$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P( z < 1.960) = 0.975$

$\displaystyle\frac{x - 235}{20} = 1.960\\x =274.2 \approx 275$

Approximately 97.5% of the students spent below $275 on textbook.
