What is the formula for the z-score?

[tex]Z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Z = standard score

x = observed value

[tex]\mu[/tex] = mean of the sample

[tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation of the sample

z = (0.9-1)/0.1 = -1

z of -1 = 0.1587

Therefore the value of the z-score is 0.1587.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of squares: a² - b² factors to (a - b) (a + b)

Let x⁴ = (x²)²

Let 16 = 4²

Now by difference of squares x⁴ - 16 factors as (x² - 4)(x² + 4)

The front factor, (x² - 4), can factor by difference of squares again as (x - 2)(x + 2)

c. what is percent of the scores is greater than 65?
d. what percent of scores is less than 70?
e. what percent of the score is between 50 and 60?

Answers

Answer:

a) A score of 65 is in the 79.67th percentile.

b) A score less than 70 is below the 95.25th percentile.

c) 20.33% of the scores are greater than 65.

d) 95.25% of scores are less than 70.

e) 45.25% of the scores are between 50 and 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The mean is 60 and the standard deviation is 6.

This means that [tex]\mu = 60, \sigma = 6[/tex]

a. what is the percentile rank of the score 65?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 65.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{65 - 60}{6}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.83[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.83[/tex] has a p-value of 0.7967.

Thus: A score of 65 is in the 79.67th percentile.

b. what is the percentile of the score less than 70?

Below the p-value of Z when X = 70. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{70 - 60}{6}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.67[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.67[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9525.

Thus: A score less than 70 is below the 95.25th percentile.

c. what is percent of the scores is greater than 65?

The proportion is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 65.

From item a, when X = 65, Z has a p-value of 0.7967

1 - 0.7967 = 0.2033

0.2033*100% = 20.33%

20.33% of the scores are greater than 65.

d. what percent of scores is less than 70?

The proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 70, which, from item b, is of 0.9525.

0.9525*100% = 95.25%

95.25% of scores are less than 70.

e. what percent of the score is between 50 and 60?

The proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 60 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 50.

X = 60

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{60 - 60}{6}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0[/tex] has a p-value of 0.5.

X = 50

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{50 - 60}{6}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.67[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.67[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0475.

0.5 - 0.0475 = 0.4525

0.4525*100% = 45.25%

45.25% of the scores are between 50 and 60.

Joe wants to add cucumbers to his garden and knows the rectangular area is represented by x^2 - 4x - 21 square units. What expressions would represent the length and width of the cucumber field?

Answers

Given:

The area of rectangular garden is [tex]x^2-4x-21[/tex] square units.

To find:

The length and width of the cucumber field.

Solution:

The area of a rectangle is:

[tex]A=l\times w[/tex]

Where l is length and w is width of the rectangle.

The area of rectangular garden is [tex]x^2-4x-21[/tex] square units.

We need to find the factors of [tex]x^2-4x-21[/tex] to get the length and width.

[tex]A=x^2-4x-21[/tex]

Splitting the middle term, we get

[tex]A=x^2-7x+3x-21[/tex]

[tex]A=x(x-7)+3(x-7)[/tex]

[tex]A=(x-7)(x+3)[/tex]

Area of a rectangle is the product of length and width.

Therefore, the length and width of the rectangle are [tex](x-7)[/tex] units and [tex](x+3)[/tex] units.

(1 + sin x)(1 – sin x) = cos^2x

Answers

Answer:

(1 + sin x)(1 – sin x) = cos^2x

1 - sin^2x = cos^2x

cos^2x = cos^2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the left hand side:

(1 + sin x)(1 – sin x) = cos^2x

1 - sin^2x = cos^2x

Using the Pythagorean Identity, we can see that the two sides are equivalent if you subtract sin^2x from both sides:

sin^2x + cos^2x = 1

cos^2x = 1 - sin^2x

Lastly, write it out:

(1 + sin x)(1 – sin x) = cos^2x

1 - sin^2x = cos^2x

cos^2x = cos^2x

The polynomial P is graphed.
What is the remainder when P(x) is divided by (x+1)?
(image should be attached somewhere)

Answers

Answer:

The remainder will be 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Polynomial Remainder Theorem. According to the PRT, if we have a polynomial P(x) divided by a binomial in the form (x - a), then the remainder will be given by P(a).

Our polynomial P(x) is given by the graph, and we are dividing it by the binomial (x + 1).

We can rewrite the binomial as (x - (-1)).

Therefore, a = -1.

Then the remainder will be P(-1).

Looking at the graph, we can see that P(-1) = 3.

Thus, the remainder when P(x) is divided by (x + 1) is 3.

Answer:

The remainder is 3 :)

Marlene earns $12,800 per year. 15% is taken from her earnings for taxes. how much money is paid in taxes? how much money is left for Marlene to spend???

Answers

Answer:

$1,920

$10,880

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount marlene earns per year = $12,800

Percentage of taxes = 15%

how much money is paid in taxes?

Amount of tax Marlene pays = 15% of $12,800

= 15/100 × $12,800

= 0.15 × $12,800

= $1,920

how much money is left for Marlene to spend?

Amount left for Marlene to spend = Amount marlene earns per year - Amount of tax Marlene pays

= $12,800 - $1,920

= $10,880

Thus the standard deviation is the measure of how dispersed the data are in the population which can be used to provide context to a larger data sets.

Part 1- Make sure to show all work. Write both the (i) recursive formula and the (ii) explicit formula for the sequences
A) {-23,-15,-7,1,...}.
B) {5, 5.25, 5.50, 5.75,...}
Part 2- Calculate the 15th term in each of the above sequences, Use the Recursive method for one sequence and the Explicit formula for the other sequence. (make sure to label your work & show each step).

Answers

Answer:

A) The sequence is {-23, -15, -7, 1,...}

The common difference of the sequence above, d = 8

The first term, a = -23

The number of terms, n = 15

The recursive formula is, aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + d

Using the recursive method gives;

a₅ = a₍₅₋₁₎ + d

Where;

a₍₅₋₁₎ = 1

Therefore, a₅ = 1 + 8 = 9, a₆ = 9 + 8 = 17, a₇ = 17 + 8 = 25, a₈ = 25 + 8 = 33, a₉ = 33 + 8 = 41, a₁₀ = 41 + 8 = 49, a₁₁ = 49 + 8 = 57, a₁₂ = 57 + 8 = 65 a₁₃ = 65 + 8 = 73, a₁₄ = 73 + 8 = 81, a₁₅ = 81 + 8 = 89

The 15th term of the sequence, {-23, -15, -7, 1,...}, a₁₅ = 89

We check by using explicit formula to get, aₙ = a + (n - 1)·d

Therefore

a₁₅ = -23 + (15 - 1)×8 = 89

B) The given sequence is B) {5 5.25, 5.50, 5.75,...}

The common difference, d = 0.25

The first term, a = 5

The required number of terms, n = 15

Using the recursive method gives;

a₅ = a₍₅₋₁₎ + d

Where;

a₍₅₋₁₎ = a₄ = 5.75

Therefore, a₅ = 5.75 + 0.25 = 6

a₆ = 6 + 0.25 = 6.25, a₇ = 6.25 + 0.25 = 6.5, a₈ = 6.5 + 0.25 = 6.75, a₉ = 6.75 + 0.25 = 7, a₁₀ = 7 + 0.25 = 7.25, a₁₁ = 7.25 + 0.25 = 7.5, a₁₂ = 7.5 + 0.25 = 7.75, a₁₃ = 7.75 + 0.25 = 8, a₁₄ = 8 + 0.25 = 8.25, a₁₅ = 8.25 + 0.25 = 8.5

The 15th term, of the sequence, {5 5.25, 5.50, 5.75,...}, a₁₅ = 8.5

We check by explicit formula to get, aₙ = a + (n - 1)·d

Therefore

a₁₅ = 5 + (15 - 1)×0.25 = 8.5

El producto de dos números de distinto signo es siempre negativo.

Pero en casos como:

Answer:

1/4 or 0.25 (as a decimal)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that v has an unknown value.

When it is multiplied by 16, we would get the product.

Turn it into an equation:

16x = 4

Find x:

4 ÷ 16 = 0.25 or 1/4

Now we’ve find x:

16 x 1/4 = 4

Which is a true equation

So x equals 0.25 or 1/4 (as a fraction)
