Answer:
The percentage is approximately 99.7%
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to understand this question you must understand the bell curve. (I would suggest googling a picture of the bell curve)
The mean of the bell curve is 67.5, meaning +1 standard deviation would be 70.9 (67.5+3.4). This would mean that 34% of the sample is between 67.5" and 70.9" (The bell curve % goes 34/14/2/.1 in that order)
When looking at the bell curve of this data, you would find that ±3 standard deviations gives you the range of 57.3" to 77.7". This would represent roughly (2+14+34+34+14+2)% of the sample. This excludes the .2% that are above or below 57.3" to 77.7". Therefore, the only answer that is close would be 99.7%
Using the empirical rule for a normal distribution, the calculation shows that approximately 99.7% of adults in town have heights between 57.3 and 77.7 inches.
Explanation:The heights of the adults in this town follow a bell-shaped distribution known as the normal distribution. This means that the values are symmetrically distributed around the mean, with most values close to the mean and fewer values farther away. The empirical rule states that approximately 68 percent of the data falls within one standard deviation of the mean, about 95 percent falls within two standard deviations, and about 99.7 percent falls within three standard deviations.
In this case, the mean is 67.5 inches and the standard deviation is 3.4 inches. Thus, one standard deviation away from the mean is a range from 67.5 - 3.4 = 64.1 inches to 67.5 + 3.4 = 70.9 inches. Two standard deviations away from the mean is a range from 64.1 - 3.4 = 60.7 inches to 70.9 + 3.4 = 74.3 inches. Three standard deviations away from the mean is a range from 60.7 - 3.4 = 57.3 inches to 74.3 + 3.4 = 77.7 inches.
Therefore, according to the empirical rule, we would predict that about 99.7 percent of adults in the town have heights between 57.3 and 77.7 inches.

Answer:
E. 22Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the picture.
The lines l and m are parallel, therefore alternate interior angles are congruent.
Therefore [tex]\beta=50^o[/tex]
Supplementary angles add up to 180°.
Therefore
[tex](5x-16)+\theta=180[/tex] add 16 to both sides
[tex]5x+\theta=196[/tex] subtract 5x from both sides
[tex]\theta=196-5x[/tex]
We know: the sum of the triangle angle measures is 180°.
Therefore we have the equation:
[tex]50+2x+196-5x=180\\\\-3x+246=180\qquad\text{subtract 246 from both sides}\\\\-3x=-66\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-3)}\\\\x=22[/tex]
Two boats leave port at the same time. One goes west and the other south. The speed of the southbound boat is 5 mph more than the westbound boat. After 3 hours the boats are 27 miles apart. Find the speed of the southbound boat. Round to the nearest tenth of a mile per hour.
Westbound boats speed = X
Southbound boats speed = X + 5
In 3 hours they are 27 miles apart:
3X + 3(x+5) = 27
Simplify:
3x + 3x +15 = 27
Combine like terms:
6x + 15 = 27
Subtract 15 from both sides:
6x = 12
Divide both sides by 6:
x = 12/6
x = 2
Westbound was 2 miles per hour
Southbound was 2 +5 = 7 miles per hour
Check:
2 miles per hour x 3 hours = 6 miles
7 miles per hour x 3 hours = 21 miles
21 + 6 = 27 miles
For a certain commodity the supply equation is given by S = 2p + 5 At a price of $1, there is a demand for 19 units of the commodity. If the demand equation is linear and the market price is $3, find the demand equation.
Answer:
The demand equation is: D=-4p+23
Step-by-step explanation:
To get started, we should keep in mind that the market price (p=3) occurs when supply equals demand ,therefore when p=3
S=2(3)+5=11
Thus, when p=3 D=11 and, according to the problem when p=1 D=19.
We already know two points on the demand curve. Great!
The demand equation is linear, so it has form D=bp+c.
The variable b is the slope of the demand linear equation . It can be computed through the formula
[tex]b=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]. equation 1
Substituting the two points (3,11) and (1,19) on equation 1.
[tex]b=\frac{19-11}{1-3} =\frac{8}{-2}[/tex]
b=-4
Now we can find the value of intercept of the demand equation c trough point-slope form y-y1=b(x-x1).
We can use any of the points. Let's take (3,11) and write in point-slope :
y-11=-4(x-3)
y=-4x+11+12
y=-4x+23
Rewrite the linear equation according our variables D and p
D=-4P+23
Finally we found the demand equation !
El costo por kilo de queso chihuahua, es de 78. el total de queso comprado el dia anterior fue de 195. que fraccion del total de queso chihuahua queda
Answer: [tex]\frac{3}{8}\ kg[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The table attached is part of the exercise (Without the table the question was incomplete).
We know that the cost of 1 kilogram of Chihuahua cheese is 78 and the Chihuhua cheese bought the day before cost 195.
The first step is to calculate the amount of cheese bought with 195:
[tex]\frac{195}{78}=\frac{5}{2}\ kg[/tex]
Now, we need to add the fractions provided in the table (This table shows the amount of cheese that was used in that day). Then:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}\ kg+\frac{7}{8}\ kg+\frac{3}{4}\ kg=\frac{17}{8}\ kg[/tex]
Finally, in order to find what fraction of Chihuahua cheese is left, we must subtract [tex]\frac{5}{2}\ kg[/tex] and [tex]\frac{17}{8}\ kg[/tex]:
[tex]\frac{5}{2}\ kg-\frac{17}{8}\ kg=\frac{3}{8}\ kg[/tex]

______________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
______________________________________________
[tex]\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{8} = ?[/tex] ;
Change "(1/4)" to: "(?/8)" ;
What is "(?)" ? ;
→ (1/4) = (?/8) ;
notice the denominators;
(1/4) = (?/8) ; In the first fraction, how does the "denominator", "4" ; turn to "8" ? Specifically, since we dealing with "fractions", what number do we multiply "4" by, to get: "8" ??? ;
→ " 4 * ? = 8 " ?? ;
→ " 8 ÷ 4 = ? " ;
= 2 ;
______________________________________________
so " 1/4 = ?/8 " ;
Since we multiply the denominator, "4" ; by "2" , to get:
"8" (the denominator in the other fraction);
we multiply the numerator, "1" ; by "2" ; to get:
"2" (the denominator in the other fraction):
______________________________________________
→ " [tex]\frac{1}{4} = \frac{(1*2)}{(4*2)} = \frac{2}{8}[/tex] ;
______________________________________________
Now, the amount of the pizza that "you" ate is: "(2/8)" ;
The amount of the pizza eaten by "your dog" is: "(1/8)" ;
Let's add up the amount of pizza eaten:
[tex]\frac{2}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{(2+1)}{8} = \frac{3}{8}[/tex] .
The total amount of the pizza would be: " [tex]\frac{8}{8}[/tex] " .
Note: " [tex]\frac{8}{8}[/tex] = 8 ÷ 8 = 1 whole [pizza].
To find the amount left over, subtract the amount eaten; "(3/8)" ; from the whole pizza; "(8/8)" ; as follows:
______________________________________________
→ [tex]\frac{8}{8} - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{(8-3)}{8} = \frac{5}{8}[/tex] .
______________________________________________
Now, the question asks, what percent is left over? ;
So, we convert "(5/8)" into a percentage;
Change "(5/8)" to: "(?/100)" ;
→ Notice the denominators;
(5/8) = (?/100) ; In the first fraction, how does the "denominator", "8" ; turn to "100" ? Specifically, since we dealing with "fractions", what number do we multiply "8" by, to get: "100" ??? ;
→ " 8 * ? = 100 " ?? ;
→ " 100 ÷ 8 = ? " ;
= 12.5 ;
______________________________________________
so " 5/8 = ?/100 " ;
Since we multiply the denominator, "8" ; by "12.5" , to get:
"100" (the denominator in the other fraction);
we multiply the numerator, "5" ; by "12.5" ; to get:
"2" (the denominator in the other fraction):
______________________________________________
→ " [tex]\frac{5}{8} = \frac{(5*12.5)}{(100*12.5)} = \frac{62.5}{100}[/tex] ;
______________________________________________
→ [tex]\frac{62.5}{100} = 62.5 % .

Answer:
east 95 kmsouth 89 kmStep-by-step explanation:
SOH CAH TOA can remind you of the relationships between triangle measures. The distance east is the side of the right triangle that is opposite the angle, so is related to the hypotenuse (ship's travel distance) by the sine function.
sin(43°) = (travel distance)/(distance east)
So, ...
(distance east) = (travel distance)·sin(43°)
Likewise, the cosine function can be used to find the distance south.
Then we have ...
east = (130 km)sin(43°) ≈ 95 km
south = (130 km)cos(43°) ≈ 89 km
Kenya plans to make a down payment plus monthly payments in order to buy a motorcycle. At one dealer she would pay $2,350 down and $175 each month. At another dealer, she would pay $2,850 down and $150 each month. After how many months would the total amount paid be the same for both dealers? What would that amount be?
Answer:
20 months
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of months. The cost equation for each dealer is the total of the down payment and the total monthly contribution. Thus,
Deal 1 cost = $2,350 + $175x
Dealer 2 cost =$2,850 + $150x
The number of months after which the costs from both dealers are equal is calculated by equating the costs for both dealers. Therefore,
$2,350 + $175x = $2,850 + $150x
$175x -$150x =$2,850 -$2,350
$25x =$500
x= $500/$25
x = 20 months

To simplify an algebraic expression, eliminate denominators, distribute factors, rearrange and combine like terms, and isolate the variable. Checking the reasonableness of the answer is also important after simplification.
Explanation:To simplify an algebraic expression or equation involving variables, you should first look at what needs to be solved for and then work the problem out using only variables. This helps in minimizing calculation time and reducing the chance of errors. Here are some steps to simplify algebraic expressions:
Eliminate denominators by multiplying through by the Least Common Denominator.Remove parentheses by distributing any factors outside the parentheses through the terms inside.Get all variable terms on one side of the equation by adding or subtracting them.Combine like terms or factor out the variable if it appears in more than one term to simplify further.Isolate the variable (solve for the variable) using multiplication or division as needed.Additionally, by variable rescaling and setting some limits for the error margin, you can further simplify the algebra by eliminating as many parameters as possible. Always check your final answer to ensure it's reasonable.
You are given 1000 one dollar bills and 10 envelopes. Put the bills into the envelopes in such a way that someone can ask you for any amount of money from $1 to $1000 (examples - $532, $619, $88, etc.) and you can give it to them through a combination of the envelopes.
Answer:
We can do it with envelopes with amounts $1,$2,$4,$8,$16,$32,$64,$128,$256 and $489
Step-by-step explanation:
Observe that, in binary system, 1023=1111111111. That is, with 10 digits we can express up to number 1023.This give us the idea to put in each envelope an amount of money equal to the positional value of each digit in the representation of 1023. That is, we will put the bills in envelopes with amounts of money equal to $1,$2,$4,$8,$16,$32,$64,$128,$256 and $512.
However, a little modification must be done, since we do not have $1023, only $1,000. To solve this, the last envelope should have $489 instead of 512.
Observe that:
1+2+4+8+16+32+64+128+256+489=1000Since each one of the first 9 envelopes represents a position in a binary system, we can represent every natural number from zero up to 511. If we want to give an amount "x" which is greater than $511, we can use our $489 envelope. Then we would just need to combine the other 9 to obtain x-489 dollars. Since [tex]x-489\leq511[/tex], by 2) we know that this would be possible.Matching: write in the correct letter.

Wayne is hanging a string of lights 58 feet long around the three sides of his patio, which is adjacent to his house. The length of his patio, the side along the house, is 6 feet longer than twice its width. Find the length and width of the patio.
Answer:
The length of the patio is 32 ft and the width is 13 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
Let
L ----> the length of his patio
W ---> the width of his patio
we know that
[tex]L+2W=58[/tex] ----> equation A
[tex]L=2W+6[/tex] ----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A and solve for W
[tex]2W+6+2W=58[/tex]
[tex]4W+6=58[/tex]
[tex]4W=58-6[/tex]
[tex]4W=52[/tex]
[tex]W=13\ ft[/tex]
Find the value of L
[tex]L=2W+6[/tex] ----> [tex]L=2(13)+6=32\ ft[/tex]
therefore
The length of the patio is 32 ft and the width is 13 ft
The required patio length(L) = 32 and width(w) = 13.
Given that,
Wayne is hanging a string of lights 58 feet long,
And the side along the house, is 6 feet long.
We have to find,
The length and width of the patio.
According to the question,
Let, the length of his patio be L and width w,
Wayne is hanging a string of lights 58 feet long around the three sides of his patio, which is adjacent to his house.
L + 2W = 58
And The length of his patio, the side along the house, is 6 feet longer than twice its width.
L = 2W + 6
Solving the equation putting the of L from equation 2 in equation 1,
= 2W + 6 + 2W = 58
= 4W = 58 - 6
= 4W = 52
= W = [tex]\frac{52}{4}[/tex]
= W = 13
And L = 2(13) + 6 = 32
Patio length(L) = 32 And width(w) = 13.
Hence , The required patio length(L) = 32 And width(w) = 13.

Addison painted her room. She had 505050 square meters to paint, and she painted at a constant rate. After 222 hours of painting, she had 353535 square meters left. Let yyy represent the area (in square meters) left to paint after xxx hours. Complete the equation for the relationship between the area and number of hours.
Answer:
y = 50 - 7.5x
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The original area for painting = 50 m²,
Let c meter per hour be the constant rate of painting,
So, after 2 hours, the area painted = 2c m²,
Thus, the area left to paint = 50 - 2c
According to the question,
50 - 2c = 35
2c = 15
⇒ c = 7.5
i.e. the constant rate of painting is 7.5 meters per hour,
Hence, the area left after x hours = 50 - 7.5x
If y represents the area left to paint after x hours,
Then,
y = 50 - 7.5x
Which is the required equation.

All real numbers greater than or equal to −1
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the given parabola,
[tex]f(x) = (x-4)(x-2)[/tex]
[tex]f(x) = x^2-4x-2x + 8[/tex]
[tex]f(x) = x^2 - 6x+8[/tex]
∵ Leading term = positive
So, the parabola is upward.
We know that an upward parabola is minimum at its vertex
Or it gives minimum output value at its vertex.
for instance, If (h, k) is the vertex of an upward parabola,
then its range = { x : x ≥ k, x ∈ R }
Note : Range = set of all possible output values
We have given,
Vertex = (3, -1)
Hence, Range = all real numbers greater than or equal to −1
LAST option is correct.
The population of ages at inauguration of all U.S. Presidents who had professions in the military is 62, 46, 68, 64, 57. Why does it not make sense to construct a histogram for this data set?
Answer: You only have 5 samples, always when you want to do statistics, you need a large sample size.
let's suppose you throw a dice 5 times, the results that it shows are 1,4,2,1,4. If you make statistics whit that numbers, you will think that the 1 and 4 have a bigger possibility than the other numbers, but that can't be, if you throw the dice enough times you will se that all numbers have the same possibility.
A ball is thrown in the air from a ledge. It's height in feet represented by f(x)=16(x^2-6x-7), where x is the number of seconds since the ball has been thrown. The height of the ball is 0 feet when it hits the ground. How many seconds does it take the ball to reach the ground?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know that the height is 0, we can figure out how long it took the ball to reach the ground by setting [tex]f(x) = 0[/tex] and solving for [tex]x[/tex]:
[tex]f(x) = 16(x^{2} - 6x - 7)[/tex]
[tex]0 = 16(x^{2} - 6x - 7)[/tex]
[tex]0 = x^{2} - 6x - 7[/tex]
[tex]0 = (x - 7)(x + 1)[/tex]
[tex]x = -1, 7[/tex]
Because time can only be positive, the answer is 7 seconds.
Answer:
7 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
height h = 16(x^2-6x-7) = 0
x^2 - 6x - 7 = 0
(x - 7)(x + 1) = 0
x = 7 seconds (we ignore the negative).
