Answer:

$\sf -\dfrac{1}{36}$

Explanation:

$\rightarrow \sf -\dfrac{7}{9} -(-\dfrac{5}{12} )+\dfrac{1}{3}$

remove parenthesis

$\rightarrow \sf -\dfrac{7}{9} +\dfrac{5}{12} +\dfrac{1}{3}$

all the denominators has a common multiple of 108

$\rightarrow \sf -\dfrac{7(12)}{108} +\dfrac{5(9)}{108} +\dfrac{1(36)}{108}$

simplify

$\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{-84}{108} +\dfrac{45}{108} +\dfrac{36}{108}$

join the fractions

$\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{-84+45+36}{108}$

simplify

$\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{-3}{108}$

simplify

$\rightarrow \sf -\dfrac{1}{108}$

What is the length of the focal width? x^2=12y

Ierofanga [76]

$\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance}\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
\boxed{(y-{{ k}})^2=4{{ p}}(x-{{ h}})} \\\\
(x-{{ h}})^2=4{{ p}}(y-{{ k}}) \\

{{ p}}=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\

4p=focal\ width
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
x^2=12y\implies (x-0)^2=12(y-0)\quad 
\begin{cases}
h=0\\
k=0\\
\boxed{4p=12}

The diameters of Douglas firs grown at a Christmas Tree Farm are normally distributed with a mean of 4 inches and a standard dev

leva [86]

Answer:

The proportion of trees greater than 5 inches is expected to be 0.25 of the total amount of trees.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have a normal ditribution with mean of 4.0 in and standard deviation of 1.5 in.

The proportion of the trees that are expected to have diameters greater than 5 inches is equal to the probability of having a tree greater than 5 inches.

We can calculate the z value for x=5 in and then look up in a standard normal distribution table the probability of z.

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{5-4}{1.5}=0.67$

$P(x>5)=P(z>0.67)=0.25$

The proportion of trees greater than 5 inches is expected to be 0.25 of the total amount of trees.
