1) Complete the table
2) find the mean of the random variable x. Use the formula in the photo
Answer:
a. Please check the explanation for filling of the empty column on the table
b. The mean of the random variable x is 7/11
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Firstly, we are concerned with completing the table.
To do this, we simply need to multiply the values in the column of x by the values in the column of p(x)
Thus, we have the following;
2. 3 * 2/36 = 6/36
3. 4 * 3/36 = 12/36
4. 5 * 4/36 = 20/36
5. 6 * 5/36 = 30/36
6. 7 * 6/36 = 42/36
7. 8 * 5/36 = 40/36
8. 9 * 4/36 = 36/36
9. 10 * 3/36 = 30/36
10. 11 * 2/36 = 22/36
11. 12 * 1/36 = 12/36
b. We want to find the mean of the random variable x.
All what we need to do here is add all the values of x•P(x) together, then divide by 11.
Thus, we have
(2/36 + 6/36 + 12/36 + 20/36 + 30/36 + 42/36 + 40/36 + 36/36 + 30/36 + 22/36 + 12/36)/11
Since the denominator is same for all, we simply add all the numerators together;
(252/36) * 11 = 252/396 = 63/99 = 7/11
Jolene bought 3 plants at a greenhouse. Each plant cost $2.50. To calculate the total cost of the plants, Jolene added (3(2)) + (3(0.50)). What property of multiplication did she use?*
A.Distributive Property
B.Associative Property
C.Commutative Property
D.Identity Property
Answer:
The answer is A.Distributive PropertyStep-by-step explanation:
Distributive property of multiplication has to do with the multiplication of numbers by the sum of that number
say in our given example $2.05.
When we decide to multiply 3 property with $2 and $0.5 which when added together will still give $2.05, we are using distributive property of multiplication.
Hence according to distributive property 3*$2.05 is the same as
3*$2 + 3*$0.5
Manuel made at least one error as he found the value of this expression. Identify the step in which Manuel made his first error. After identifying the step with the first error, explain the corrected steps and find the final answer.
Answer:
Manuel made his first mistake in step 2 leading to the continuous mistakes
Final answer=185
Step-by-step explanation:
Manuel made at least one error as she found the value of this expression. 2(-20) + 3[5/4(-20)] + 5[2/5(50)] + 4(50) Step 1: 2(-20) + 3(-25) + 5(20) + 4(50) Step 2: (3 + 2)(-20 + -25) + (5 + 4)(20 + 50) Step 3: 5(-45) + 9(70) Step 4: -225 + 630 Step 5: 405 Identify the step in which Chris made her first error. After identifying the step with the first error, write the corrected steps and find the final answer.
2(-20) + 3[5/4(-20)] + 5[2/5(50)] + 4(50)
Step 1: 2(-20) + 3(-25) + 5(20) + 4(50)
Step 2: -40 - 75 + 100 +
200
Step 3: -115 + 300
Step 4: 185
Manuel made his first error in step 2 by combining two different terms into one as he has done
(3 + 2)(-20 + -25) and also (5 + 4)(20 + 50)
Step 2: (3 + 2)(-20 + -25) + (5 + 4)(20 + 50)
Step 3: 5(-45) + 9(70) Step 4: -225 + 630 Step 5: 405
He should have evaluated the terms separately as I have done above, giving us 185 as the final answer in contrast to his 405 final answer.

i used the quadratic formula to find x also please note that 2 has 2 answers bc of the +- beofre the sqrt of 13
Step-by-step explanation:
1).5x² + 13x - 6 = 0
Using the quadratic formula
[tex]x = \frac{ - b± \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac} }{2a} [/tex]
a = 5 , b = 13 c = - 6
We have

[tex]x = \frac{ - 13± \sqrt{169 + 120} }{10} [/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{ - 13± \sqrt{289} }{10} [/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{ - 13±17}{10} [/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{ - 13 + 17}{10} \: \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: x = \frac{ - 13 - 17}{10} [/tex]
x = 2/5 or x = - 32).3x² + 5x + 1 = 0
a = 3 , b = 5 , c = 1
[tex]x = \frac{ -5 ± \sqrt{ {5}^{2} - 4(3)(1)} }{2(3)} [/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{ - 5± \sqrt{25 - 12} }{6} [/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{ - 5± \sqrt{13} }{6} [/tex]

5 - (4 - 3x) = 10
how would u distubute in this problem
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
5 - (4 - 3x) = 10 ← distribute the terms in the parenthesis by - 1
5 - 4 + 3x = 10, that is
1 + 3x = 10 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
3x = 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 3
jim buys a calculator that is marked 30% off. If he paid $35, what was the original price?
Answer:
x = 50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the original price.
He got 30% off
The discount is .30x
Subtract this from the original price to get the price he paid
x - .30x = price he paid
.70x = price he paid
.70x = 35
Divide each side by .7
.70x/.7 = 35/.7
x=50
help please! Darren is finding the equation in the form y = m x + b for a trend line that passes through the points (2, 18) and (–3, 8). Which value should he use as b in his equation? a) –34 b) –19 c) 2 d) 14
Answer: d) 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of a line passing through (a,b) and (c,d):
[tex](y-b)=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}(x-a)[/tex]
Equation of a line passing through (2, 18) and (–3, 8):
[tex](y-18)=\dfrac{8-18}{-3-2}(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow\ (y-18)=\dfrac{-10}{-5}(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow\ (y-18)=2(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-18=2x-4\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=2x-4+18\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=2x+14[/tex]
Comparing resulting equation [tex]y=2x+14[/tex] to [tex]y = m x + b[/tex], we get value of b= 14.
Hence, correct option is d) 14
What is 25x + 67y if x = 23 and y = 36. Give explanation please!
Answer:
2987.
Step-by-step explanation:
25(23) + 67(36) = 575 + 2412 = 2987.
Hi there! Hopefully this helps!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 2987
First we need to rewrite the equation. Since x = 23 and y = 36 the equation should look like this for easier steps:
25(23) + 67(36) = ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now since there numbers by other numbers in parentheses, we need to multiply them.
25 x 23 = 575.
67 x 36 = 2412.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that the equation is in its final form, we write it like this for the answer:
575 + 2412 =
2987.Which of the following functions has a vertical asymptote at x = 2, a horizontal
asymptote at f(x) = 1, and a root at x = -1?
A.f(x) = 2 + 1
B.f(x) = x 2 + 1
c.f(x) = x 2 - 1
D.f(x) == +1
Answer:
First, an asymptote means that the function "tends to go" to a value, bt actually never reaches it.
The functions here are:
A.f(x) = 2 + 1
B.f(x) = x^2 + 1
c.f(x) = x^2 - 1
D.f(x) == +1
The functions are really poorly written, but i will try to answer this.
first:
"a root at x = -1"
Means that f(-1) = 0,
The only function that is zero when x = -1, is the option c.
f(-1) = (-1)^2 - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0.
Now, if we want to have a vertical asymptote at x = 2, then we should have a function like:
[tex]f(x) = \frac{something}{x - 2}[/tex]
So we want to have a quotient, where the denominator is equal to zero when x = 2, this will lead to a vertical asymptote.
I can not see this in the options provided, so i guess that the functions are just not well written.
For a horizontal asymptote, we have something like:
[tex]f(x) = \frac{something}{x} + 1[/tex]
So as x starts to grow, the first term in the function will start to decrease, until it becomes really close to zero (but is never equal to zero) so in that case we have an horizontal asymptote to f(x) = 1.
How many gallons of 30% alcohol solution and how many of 60% alcohol solution must be mixed to produce 18 gallons of 50% solution?
Answer:
x = 6 gallons (of 30% alcohol)
y = 12 gallons (of 60% alcohol)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = liters of 30% alcohol
y = liters of 60% alcohol
There are two unknowns, we need two equations
x + y = 18. (1)
0.30x + 0.60y = 0.50(x+y) (2)
From (1)
x + y = 18
y = 18-x
Substitute the value of y into (2) and solve for x:
0.30x + 0.60y = 0.50(x+y)
0.30x + 0.60(18-x) = 0.50(x+18-x)
0.30x + 10.8 - 0.60x = 0.50(18)
10.8 - 0.30x = 9
-0.30x = -1.8
Divide both sides by -0.30
x = 6 gallons (of 30% alcohol)
Substitute x=6 into (1) and solve for y:
x + y = 18
6 + y = 18
y = 12 gallons (of 60% alcohol)
Answer it answer it answer it.
Answer:
Option C. P = 3/q
Step-by-step explanation:
To know the the correct answer to the question, do the following:
Let us assume a certain number for P say 2 and 3, and then, find the corresponding value for q in each case to see which will give a decreased value for q.
Option A
When P = 2, q =.?
P = 3q
2 = 3q
Divide both side by 3
q = 2/3
When P = 3, q =.?
P = 3q
3 = 3q
Divide both side 3
q = 3/3
q = 1
From the above illustration, we can see that as P increase, q also increase.
Option B
When P = 2, q =.?
P – 3 = q
2 – 3 = q
q = – 1
When P = 3, q =.?
P – 3 = q
3 – 3 = q
q = 0
From the above illustration, we can see that as P increase, q also increase.
Option C
When P = 2, q =.?
P = 3/q
2 = 3/q
Cross multiply
2 × q = 3
Divide both side by 2
q = 3/2
q = 1.5
When P = 3, q =.?
P = 3/q
3 = 3/q
Cross multiply
3 × q = 3
Divide both side by 3
q = 3/3
q = 1
From the above illustration, we can see that as P increase, q decreases.
Option D.
When P = 2, q =.?
1/p = 3/q
1/2 = 3/q
Cross multiply
1 × q = 2 × 3
q = 6
When P = 3, q =.?
1/p = 3/q
1/3 = 3/q
Cross multiply
1 × q = 3 × 3
q = 9
From the above illustration, we can see that as P increase, q also increase.
Now, haven done the above, only option C gives a decreased value for q as the value of P increases.

When sketching a normal curve, what
value represents one standard deviation
to the right of the mean for the data set?
56, 54, 45, 52, and 48.
Answer:
The value representing one standard deviation to the right of the mean is 55.
Step-by-step explanation:
The provided data set is:
S = {56, 54, 45, 52, and 48}
Compute the mean and standard deviation as follows:
[tex]\mu=\frac{1}{n}\sum X=\frac{1}{5}\times [56+54+45+52+48]=51\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum (X-\mu)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{5}\cdot {(56-51)^{2}+...+(48-51)^{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{5}\times 80}=4[/tex]
Compute the value representing one standard deviation to the right of the mean as follows:
[tex]X=\mu+1\cdot \sigma[/tex]
[tex]=51+(1\times 4)\\=51+4\\=55[/tex]
Thus, the value representing one standard deviation to the right of the mean is 55.
Find the graph of the inequality y<-1/5X+1.
Answer:
Please refer to attached image for the graph of inequality.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the inequality:
[tex]y<-\dfrac{1}{5}x+1[/tex]
To graph this, first let us convert it to corresponding equality.
[tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{5}x+1[/tex]
As we can see that the above equation is a linear equation in two variables so it will be a straight line.
Now, let us find at least two points on the above equation so that we can plot them and then extend it to get the complete graph.
Two points that can be easily found, are:
1st put [tex]x = 0[/tex] , [tex]y=-\frac{1}{5}\times 0+1 =1[/tex]
So one point is (0, 1 )
Now, put y = 0,
[tex]0=-\frac{1}{5}\times x+1\\\Rightarrow 1=\frac{1}{5}\times x\\\Rightarrow x = 5[/tex]
Second point is (5, 0)
Let us plot the points on the graph and extend the straight line.
Now, we know that it is an inequality, the are will be shaded.
As there is no equal to sign in the inequality, so the line will be dashed.
Let us consider one point and check whether that satisfies the inequality or not.
If the point is satisfied in the inequality, we will shade that area towards the point.
Let us consider the point (0, 0).
0 < 0 +1
Point is satisfied.
Please refer to the attached image for the graph of given inequality.

Angles L and M are supplementary. What is the sum of
their measures?
The sum of the measures of angles L and M is
180 degree
Step-by-step explanation:
supplementary means anhke havinv sum of 180 degree
so sum to two supplemrntary angles is 180 drgree
Supplementary angles always add to 180.
One way I think of it is "supplementary angles form a straight angle", and both the words "supplementary" and "straight" start with the letter "S".
In contrast, complementary angles form a corner. Both "complementary" and "corner" start with "co". By "corner", I mean a 90 degree corner.
Verify the identity. cot(x - pi/2) = -tan(x)
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\cot(x-\frac{\pi}{2})=-\tan(x)[/tex]
Convert the cotangent to cosine over sine:
[tex]\frac{\cos(x-\frac{\pi}{2} )}{\sin(x-\frac{\pi}{2})} =-\tan(x)[/tex]
Use the cofunction identities. The cofunction identities are:
[tex]\sin(x)=\cos(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)\\\cos(x)=\sin(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)[/tex]
To convert this, factor out a negative one from the cosine and sine.
[tex]\frac{\cos(-(\frac{\pi}{2}-x ))}{\sin(-(\frac{\pi}{2}-x))} =-\tan(x)[/tex]
Recall that since cosine is an even function, we can remove the negative. Since sine is an odd function, we can move the negative outside:
[tex]\frac{\cos((\frac{\pi}{2}-x ))}{-\sin((\frac{\pi}{2}-x))} =-\tan(x)\\-\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)} =-\tan(x)\\-\tan(x)\stackrel{\checkmark}{=}-\tan(x)[/tex]

mr.wright judges the annual jelly bean challenge at the summer fair.every year he encourages the citizens in his town to guess the number of jelly beans in the jar.he keeps in record of everyones guesses and the number of the jelly beans each person was off by. what is the independent and dependent quantity?
Answer: Independent quantity : number of jelly beans in the jar guessed.
Dependent quantity : number of the jelly beans each person was off by.
Step-by-step explanation:
Independent quantity : A quantity that the experimenter can change or control.Dependent quantity : A quantity that depends on each independent quantity.In the given scenario, there are two quantities introduced:
number of jelly beans in the jar guessed. number of the jelly beans each person was off by.Since, "number of the jelly beans each person was off by." depends on "number of jelly beans in the jar guessed.".
So,
Independent quantity : number of jelly beans in the jar guessed.
Dependent quantity : number of the jelly beans each person was off by.

A study was conducted on students from a particular high school over the last 8 years. The following information was found regarding standardized tests used for college admitance. Scores on the SAT test are normally distributed with a mean of 982 and a standard deviation of 198. Scores on the ACT test are normally distributed with a mean of 19.6 and a standard deviation of 4.5. It is assumed that the two tests measure the same aptitude, but use different scales.If a student gets an SAT score that is the 20-percentile, find the actual SAT score.SAT score =What would be the equivalent ACT score for this student?ACT score =If a student gets an SAT score of 1437, find the equivalent ACT score.ACT score =
Answer:
Actual SAT Score = 815.284
Equivalent ACT Score = 15.811
The equivalent ACT Score = 29.95
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information:
Scores on the SAT test are normally distributed with :
Mean = 982
Standard deviation = 198
If a student gets an SAT score that is the 20-percentile
Then ;
P(Z ≤ z ) = 0.20
From the standard z-score for percentile distribution.
z = -0.842
Therefore, the actual SAT Score can be computed as follows:
Actual SAT score = Mean + (z score × Standard deviation)
Actual SAT score = 982 + (- 0.842 × 198)
Actual SAT score = 982 + ( - 166.716)
Actual SAT score = 982 - 166.716
Actual SAT Score = 815.284
Scores on the ACT test are normally distributed with a mean of 19.6 and a standard deviation of 4.5.
Mean = 19.6
Standard deviation = 4.5
Equivalent ACT Score = 19.6 + (- 0.842 × 4.5)
Equivalent ACT Score = 19.6 + ( - 3.789)
Equivalent ACT Score = 15.811
If a student gets an SAT score of 1437, find the equivalent ACT score.
So , if the SAT Score = 1437
Then , using the z formula , we can determine the equivalent ACT Score
[tex]z = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]z = \dfrac{1437 - 982}{198}[/tex]
[tex]z = \dfrac{455}{198}[/tex]
z =2.30
The equivalent ACT Score = 19.6 + (2.30 × 4.5)
The equivalent ACT Score = 19.6 + 10.35
The equivalent ACT Score = 29.95
6 points are place on the line a, 4 points are placed on the line b. How many triangles is it possible to form such that their verticies will be the given points, if a ∥b?
Answer: 96
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, lines a and b are parallel.
We can separate this problem in two cases:
Case 1: 2 vertex in line a, and one vertex in line b.
Here we use the relation:
"In a group of N elements, the total combinations of sets of K elements is given by"
[tex]C = \frac{N!}{(N - K)!*K!}[/tex]
Here, the total number of points in the line is N, and K is the ones that we select to make the vertices of the triangle.
Then if we have two vertices in line a, we have:
N = 6, K = 2
[tex]C = \frac{6!}{4!*2!} = \frac{6*5}{2} = 3*5 = 15[/tex]
And the other vertex can be on any of the four points on the line b, so the total number of triangles is:
C = 15*4 = 60.
But we still have the case 2, where we have 2 vertices on line b, and one on line a.
First, the combination for the two vertices in line b is:
We use N = 4 and K = 2.
[tex]C = \frac{4!}{2!*2!} = \frac{4*3}{2} = 6[/tex]
And the other vertice of the triangle can be on any of the 6 points in line a, so the total number of triangles that we can make in this case is:
C = 6*6 = 36
Then, putting together the two cases, we have a total of:
60 + 36 = 96 different triangles
Which property justifies the following equation? 7[6+5+(-6)] = [6+(-6)+5] A.distributive B.commutative C.associative D.identity
