Answer:

0.010

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score = 63 inches

μ is the population mean = 70 inches

σ is the population standard deviation = 3 inches

For x shorter than 63 inches = x < 63

Z score = x - μ/σ

= 63 - 70/3

= -2.33333

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<63) = 0.0098153

Approximately to the nearest thousandth = 0.010

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected student will be shorter than 63 inches tall, to the nearest thousandth is 0.010.

3. The function f(x) has the coordinates below. State the changes made to f(x) which result in the function g(x). Write the (x,y) rule that would transform the coordinates of f(x) to the coordinates of g(x). g(x) = -2f(x + 1) - 4

Answers

Problem

The function f(x) has the coordinates below. State the changes made to f(x) which result in the function g(x). Write the (x,y) rule that would transform the coordinates of f(x) to the coordinates of g(x). g(x) = -2f(x + 1) - 4

Solution

From this table we know that

f(-1) = 5, f(2) = 1, f(6)=0

The rule for this case would be:

y= 13/84x^2 -125/84x +47/14

We also know that we have the following transformation

g(x) = -2f(x + 1) - 4

The corresponding coordinates of x on g(x) are:

0, 3, 7

So we have this:

f(0) = 47/14

f(3)= 2/7

f(7) = 11/21

And the corresponding y coordinates are:

-2(47/14) -4=-75/7

-2(2/7) -4=-3277

-2(11/21) -4=-106/21

Solve by applying the zero product property.m^2= 27-6m

Answers

To apply the zero product property we first need to write all the terms of the equation on side:

[tex]\begin{gathered} m^2=27-6m \\ m^2+6m-27=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now we need to factorise the expression on the right:

[tex]\begin{gathered} m^2+6m-27=0 \\ (m+9)(m-3)=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The last line indicates that the product of two numbers is equal to zero this means that one of them has to be zero (this is the zero product property), then we have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} m+9=0 \\ m=-9 \\ or \\ m-3=0 \\ m=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the solutions of the equation are m=-9 and m=3

The product is:

(7*10⁵)*(3*10²) = 2.1*10⁸

So the correct option is D

The quotient is:

(2*10⁵)/(4*10²) =  5*10²

So the correct option is B.

How to get the products?

Here we want to get the product between numbers in scientific notation, the first one is:

a) (7*10⁵)*(3*10²)

We can rewrite this as:

(7*10⁵)*(3*10²) = (7*3)*(10⁵*10²) = (21)*(10⁵⁺²) = 21*10⁷

In scientific notation we can have only one digit at the left of the decimal point, so we can rewrite:

21*10⁷ = 2.1*10⁸

So the correct option is D.

b) Now the quotient is:

(2*10⁵)/(4*10²) = (2/4)*(10⁵*10²) = 0.5*10⁵⁻² = 0.5*10³

Again, we need to have a single digit in the left of the decimal point:

0.5*10³ = 5*10²

The correct option is B.

How much higher is the summit of Mt. McKinley than the summit of Mt. Kosciuszko?

Answers

Based on the heights of the summits of Mt. McKinley and Mt. Kosciuszko, we find that Mt. McKinley is higher than Mt. Kosciuszko by 13,000 ft

What are the heights of Mt. Kosciuszko and Mt. McKinley?

Mt. McKinley is reputed to be the tallest mountain in the North American continent which makes sense considering it has a summit with the height of 20,310 feet.

Mt. Kosciuszko on the other hand, is not that tall and stands at a height of 7,310 ft and is located in Australia.

The difference between both summits is:

Answers

Jess's age is six years less than three times Ethan's age. The product of their ages is 45. What are their ages?

Hint: Write an equation to represent the product of their ages, using x to represent Ethan's age, then solve this quadratic equation. Connect each person to their correct age.​

Let

x ------> Ethan's age

y -----> Jess's age

we have that

y=3x-6 -------> equation A

xy=45 ------> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

x(3x-6)=45

solve for x

3x^2-6x=45

3x^2-6x-45=0

Solve using the formula

so

a=3

b=-6

c=-45

substitute

[tex]x=\frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt[]{-6^2-4(3)(-45)}}{2(3)}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{6\pm\sqrt[]{576}}{6} \\ \\ x=\frac{6\pm24}{6} \end{gathered}[/tex]

the solutions for x are

x=5 and x=-3 (is not a solution)

Find the value of y

y=3(5)-6

y=9

therefore

Ethan's age is 5 years

Jess's age is 9 years

4) At a fundraising event, there is a raffle. A total of 165people bought a raffle ticket. The ratio of losing ticketsto winning tickets is 12:3. How many people wonsomething in the raffle?

Answers

In order to determine the number of people which won something, it is necessary to write the following system of equations:

x + y = 165

y/x = 12/3

x is the people won and y the people lost.

The first equation represents tha total number of people in the event.

The second equation represents the ratio of losing tickets to winning people.

First, solve the second equation for y, and then replace the expression for y into the first equation:

y = 12/3 x

x + 12/3 x = 165

next, solve the last equation for x:

(3+12)/3 x = 165

15/3 x = 165

5x = 165

x = 165/5

x = 33

x is the number of people who won something in the event.

Hence, the number of people was 33

Answers

Answer: Number of lightbulbs that he used = 21 lightbulbs

1 dozen of light bulbs = 12 light bulbs

Jaoquin buys 3 dozens

3 dozens of lightbulbs = 3 * 12 lightbulbs

3 dozens of lightbulbs = 36 lightbulbs

This means that :

The number of light bulbs Jaoquin bought = 36

The number of lightbulbs that remain = 15

The number of lightbulbs that he used = (Number of lightbulbs that he buys) - (Number of lightbulbs that remains)

Number of lightbulbs that he used = 36 - 15

Number of lightbulbs that he used = 21 lightbulbs

Answers

Answer:

The population is 300. The sample is 138.

Explanation:

In statistics, population refers to the entire group of persons or things that a study is to be carried out on. Looking at the given question, we can see that, even though there were 570 people that bought tablets, the surveys were only sent to 300 people chosen at random. It shows that only 300 of the 570 people are to be surveyed, therefore, the population is 300.

A sample is the particular/specific group of persons or things that data is to be received from.

Looking at the given question, we can see that, out of the 300 people that the surveys were sent to, only 138 people responded to the survey. So the sample is 138.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 30)\text{Area}_{sc}=1036.72ft^2 \\ 31)Number\text{ of shrubs=}78 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Explanation

the area of a circular sector is given by

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Area}_{sc}=\frac{\theta}{360}\pi r^2 \\ \text{where r is the radius and }\theta\text{ is the angle in degr}ees \end{gathered}[/tex]

then

Step 1

Let

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{radius}=\text{ 60 ft} \\ \text{angle}=33\text{ \degree} \end{gathered}[/tex]

now, replace in the formula

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Area}_{sc}=\frac{\theta}{360}\pi r^2 \\ \text{Area}_{sc}=\frac{33}{360}\pi(60ft)^2 \\ \text{Area}_{sc}=1036.72ft^2 \\ \text{rounded} \\ \text{Area}_{sc}=1036.72ft^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 2

if shrubs are planted every 2 ft along the outer border of the garden, how many shrubs

are needed?

to figure out this, we need to take the perimeter of the circular sector and divide by 2 ft, to get the total number of shrubs in the border

so,

[tex]\text{perimeter}=(2\cdot\text{radius)}+length\text{ of arc}[/tex]

so, we need to find the length of the arc

the length of the arc is given by

[tex]l=\frac{2\pi r}{360}\cdot\theta[/tex]

replace.

[tex]\begin{gathered} l=\frac{2\pi r}{360}\cdot\theta \\ l=\frac{2\pi\cdot60}{360}\cdot33 \\ l=34.55 \end{gathered}[/tex]

finally, replace in the perimeter formula

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{perimeter}=(2\cdot\text{radius)}+length\text{ of arc} \\ \text{perimeter}=(2\cdot60ft\text{)}+34.55 \\ \text{perimeter}=120\text{ ft+34.55 ft} \\ \text{Perimeter}=154.55\text{ ft} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The function y = - | x | + 1 is increasing on ( - ∞, 0 ) and decreases on ( 0, ∞ ).

A relationship between a group of inputs with each output is referred to as a function. In plain English, a function is an association between inputs in which each input is connected to precisely one output. A domain, codomain, or range exists for every function. Typically, f(x), where x is the input, is used to represent a function.

Consider the function,

y = - | x | + 1

The non-negative value of a real number x, represented by the symbol |x|, is the absolute value or modulus of x, regardless of its sign.

From the graph, we can approximate that the function is increasing from negative infinity to zero and the function decreases from zero to infinity.
