The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
The weights of ice cream cartons produced by a manufacturer are normally distributed with a mean weight of 10 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.5 ounce. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected carton has a weight greater than 10.21 ounces? (b) You randomly select 25 cartons. What is the probability that their mean weight is greater than 10.21 ounces
Answer:
Given that:
Mean (μ) = 10 ounces, standard deviation (σ) = 0.5 ounces.
The z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score (z) is given by:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\For\ a\ sample\ size(n):\\\\z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
a) For x = 10.21:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{10.21-10}{0.5}=0.42[/tex]
From the normal distribution table, probability that a randomly selected carton has a weight greater than 10.21 ounces = P(x > 10.21) = P(z > 0.42) = 1 - P(z < 0.42) = 1 - 0.6628 = 0.3372
b ) For x = 10.21 and n = 25
[tex]\sqrt{x} \sqrt{x} z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} }\\\\z=\frac{10.21-10}{0.5/\sqrt{25 } }=2.1[/tex]
From the normal distribution table, probability that a randomly selected carton has a weight greater than 10.21 ounces = P(x > 10.21) = P(z > 2.1) = 1 - P(z < 2.1) = 1 - 0.9826 = 0.0174

Use law of cosines to find angle A
a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2*b*c*cos(A)
9^2 = 6^2 + 14^2 - 2*6*14*cos(A)
81 = 36 + 196 - 168*cos(A)
81 = 232 - 168*cos(A)
81 - 232 = -168*cos(A)
-151 = -168*cos(A)
-168*cos(A) = -151
cos(A) = (-151)/(-168)
cos(A) = 0.8988095
A = arccos(0.8988095)
A = 25.9979801
A = 26 degrees approximately
The angle m∠A will be 27. so option C is correct.

A teacher is experimenting with a new computer-based instruction and conducts a study to test its effectiveness. In which situation could the teacher use a hypothesis test for matched pairs?
The teacher gives each student in the class a pretest. Then she teaches a lesson using a computer program. Afterwards, she gives each student a post-test. The teacher wants to see if the difference in scores will show an improvement.
The teacher randomly divides the class into two groups. One of the groups receives computer-based instruction. The other group receives traditional instruction without computers. After instruction, each student takes a test and the teacher wants to compare the performance of the two groups.
The teacher uses a combination of traditional methods and computer-based instruction. She asks students which they liked better. She wants to determine if the majority prefer the computer-based instruction.
Answer:
The teacher gives each student in the class a pretest. Then she teaches a lesson using a computer program. Afterwards, she gives each student a post-test. The teacher wants to see if the difference in scores will show an improvement.
Step-by-step explanation:
In hypothesis testing, there is a premise or a claim where an analyst want to test or to investigate in an experiment. In this study, different sampling methods are being carried out.
In hypothesis testing, we usually have the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis.
The null hypothesis is an established hypothesis which is usually denoted by [tex]H_o[/tex] and it is a currently accepted value or default for a parameter.
On the other hand the alternative hypothesis or the research hypothesis denoted by [tex]H_a[/tex] came into place to challenge the study to be tested.
In the given question , the teacher wants to see the difference in the outcome of the test scores if there will be an improvement. The same is true for hypothesis testing, we tends to see the difference in the test statistics result maybe it is significant or not in order to determine the conclusion on the null hypothesis.

Answer:
y= -3x-1 and y=2x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Rearrange the equations to the proper format which would be y=mx+b.
2. You can do this by adding or subtracting on both sides
- start with the first equation. subtract 9x on both sides.
- than divide 3 on both sides
- next equation subtract 2x on both sides
- divide -1 on both sides
which would get you y=-1-3x and y= 4+2x.
3. reagrange this equation again ( this step isn't always necessary)
you will get y= -3x-1 and y=2x+4
Remember M stand for the slope so your slopes for these two equations would be -3/1 and 2/1. Think about rise over run when you use slope. B is the y-intercept which means it will touch the y-axis.

Please help me I promise I will mark you brainliest if you are correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Use the graph of f to estimate the local maximum and local minimum. A quadratic graph is shown. The graph intercepts the x axis at approximately -2.8 and 1.2. A). No local maximum; local minimum: approx. (1,-7.67) B). Local maximum: (-2,8); local minima: (-3,0) and (3,3) C). Local maximum: approx. (1,8.08); local minima: approx. (-2,-7.67) and (3,2.75) D). Local maximum: ∞ local minima: (-3,0) and (3,3)
Answer:
Local Maximum Approx.: (1,8.08)
Local Minima Approx.: (-2,-7.67) and (3,2.75)
Step-by-step explanation:
Local maximums and minima there the highest and lowest points, respectively, on a graph in a specific region. (This is different from absolute maximum and minimum, which are the highest and lowest points overall.)
These are pretty clear to see on a curve, as they are the "turns" or the points where the curve switches direction from up to down or down to up.
On your graph, we have two local minima and one local maximum. The local minima are at x= -2 and x=3. The local maximum is at x=8. Because of the way the graph is, we have to approximate the y-values of each point.
The answer option which best describes this is the third option, so that is your answer.

A limo is rented at a fixed cost for an evening. It is rented by 12 people, the average cost for each person will be $2 less than if it is rented by 10 people. How much does the limo cost for the evening?
Answer:
$120
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the information in the statement and taking into account that the price for renting the limo is fixed, you can say that the cost of renting the limo for 12 people is equal to the cost of renting it for ten. Then, the cost for 12 people is 12 for the cost per person which is equal to 10 for the cost per person and you can express it as follow:
x is the cost per person when the limo is rented by 10 people.
12*(x-2)=10*x
You can solve for x:
12x-24=10x
12x-10x=24
2x=24
x=24/2
x=12
Now that you have the cost per person when the limo is rented by 10 people, you can multiply this value for 10 to find the cost of renting the limo for the evening:
12*10=120
The answer is that the limo cost $120 for the evening.
There are three different hoses used to fill a pool: hose x, hose y, and hose z. Hose x can fill the pool in a days, hose y in b days, and hose z in c days, where a > b > c. When all three hoses are used together to fill a pool, it takes d days to fill the pool. Which of the following must be true? I. db III. c3
Complete question is;
There are three different hoses used to fill a pool: hose x, hose y, and hose z. Hose x can fill the pool in a days, hose y in b days, and hose z in c days, where a > b > c. When all three hoses are used together to fill a pool, it takes d days to fill the pool. Which of the following must be true?
I. d < c
II. d > b
III. c/3 < d <a/3
A) I only
B) III only
C) I and III only
D) II only
E) I, II and III
Answer:
The correct option is C
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, the 3 hoses combined together will fill the pool faster than the time for the hoses to accomplish it individually. Therefore, the time "d" will be lesser than any of the individual times used by each hose.
Hence, statement I is true and II is false.
Now, we know that if each of the three hoses took c days to complete the job, then together they would take c/3 days. However, in reality, two of the three hoses even took more than c days. So, in a nutshell together they would take more than "c/3" days, and therefore d > c/3.
Likewise, if each of the three hoses took "a" days to finish the job, then when combined together, they would take "a/3" days. Now, two of the three hoses used fewer than "a" days and so when combined together they would take less than "a/3" days and therefore d < a/3.
If we combine the last 2 paragraphs, we will arrive at c/3 < d < a/3 and that is same as statement III.
Thus, statement I and III are true. The correct option is C
Ayuda es para mañana El estudiante 1 y el estudiante 2 están a 53 metros, uno del otro. El estudiante 1, desde su posición, ve una caja fuerte, e inmediatamente mide el ángulo que el mismo forma con el estudiante 2, resultando de 37°. El estudiante 2, al advertirlo , mide enseguida el ángulo que forma la caja fuerte con el estudiante 1, resultando de 43°. ¿cual de los dos se halla más cerca de la caja fuerte?
A. El estudiante 2, ya que está aproximadamente a 32,29 metros.
B. El estudiante 1, ya que está aproximadamente a 32,29 metros.
C. El estudiante 2, ya que está aproximadamente a 37,28 metros.
D. El estudiante 1, ya que está aproximadamente a 37,28 metros.
Answer:
La opción correcta es;
Estudiante 2, ya que está aproximadamente a 32,39 metros de distancia
Step-by-step explanation:
Los parámetros dados son;
La distancia entre los dos estudiantes = 53 metros
El ángulo medido entre la línea del Estudiante 1 a la caja fuerte y el Estudiante 1 y el Estudiante 2 = 37 °
El ángulo medido entre la línea del Estudiante 2 a la caja fuerte y el Estudiante 2 y el Estudiante 1 = 43 °
Dado que los dos estudiantes y la caja fuerte forman los vértices de un triángulo, tenemos;
Sea θ el ángulo del triángulo opuesto a la distancia entre los dos estudiantes
Por lo tanto;
θ + 43 ° + 37 ° = 180 ° (teorema de suma de ángulos)
θ = 180 ° - (43 ° + 37 °) = 100 °
Por regla del seno, tenemos;
a / (sin (A) = b / sin (B)
Por lo tanto;
53 / (sin (100 °)) = b / (sin (37 °)) = c / (sin (43 °))
Lo que da;
b = (sin (37 °)) × 53 / (sin (100 °)) = 32,39 metros
c = (sin (43 grados)) × 53 / (sin (100 grados)) = 36,7 metros
Por lo tanto, el Estudiante 2 está más cerca, ya que está aproximadamente a 32,39 metros de distancia.

Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the polygon to consist of 2 rectangles, rectangle X (The bigger rectangular) and Y(the smaller rectangle), as shown in the diagram attached below.
To find DE + EF, let's find each lengths as follows:
DE = BC - FA
DE = 9 - 5 = 4
EF = AB - DC
EF = 8 - DC (we don't know DC)
Let's find out DC by considering the area of the entire polygon to derive an equation that will enable us to find DC.
Area of a rectangle = L*B
Therefore:
Area of the polygon = Area of rectangle X + Area of rectangle Y
Area of Polygon = (AB*FA) + (DE*DC)
52 = (8*5) + (4*DC)
52 = 40 + (4*DC)
Subtract 40 from both sides
52 - 40 = 4*DC
12 = 4*DC
Divide both sides by 4 to make DC the subject.
12/4 = DC
3 = DC
DC = 3
Thus,
DE + EF = (BC - FA) + (AB - DC)
= (9 - 5) + (8 - 3)
= 4 + 5
= 9

The | | is a symbol for absolute value. This signifies that the number inside would be positive. Now, this doesn't mean it will always be a number inside absolute value bars. It can also be expressions.
Examples:
|1|: Even though the number inside is a positive 1, we know that it cannot be negative under any circumstances. The only exception would be if there was a negative sign on the outside of the absolute value.
|-1|: We see that there is a -1 in the absolute value. This means that it is actually a 1, not -1. The absolute value is what makes everything inside positive.
|1-5|: To solve this, we know that 1-5=-4. Without the absolute value, the answer -4 would be correct. In this case, we have absolute value, so the answer is actually 4.
|x+2|: x+2 can easily be negative. This would happen is x was a negative number that is smaller than -2. x+2 can also be positive, but the absolute value guarantees that the ending result must be positive.
collen family plans to paint the window of their house. her father will paint twice as many window as her mother, and collen and her 2 brothers will paint an equal number of the rest of the windows
Answer:
21 windows
Step-by-step explanation:
colleen's family plans to paint the windows of their house. her father will paint twice as many windows as her mother, and Colleen and her 2 brothers will paint an equal number of the rest of the windows. Colleen decided to do her own share and her mother's share and paints 7 window, which is one less than her father's share. how many windows are in their house?
Answer: Let the number of window Colleen father would paint be x while that of her mother be y. Since her father will paint twice as many window as her mother, therefore the number of windows painted by the father x = 2y
Let the number of windows each painted by Colleen and her 2 brothers be z since they would paint the same number of windows. The total number of windows to be painted = 2y + y + z + z + z = 3y + 3z = 3(y + z).
Then number of windows needed to be painted by Colleen and her mother is given as z + y. Since Colleen painted 7 windows as her share and her mother share i.e. y + z = 7
Therefore the total number of windows = 3(y + z) = 3(7) = 21 windows
