What is the absolute value of the difference in the x-values between (1,7) and (3,11)
Answer:
2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first numbers in the ordered pairs are the x values;
Difference = 1 - 3 = -1
The absolute value is 2.
An absolute value of |x| {modulus of x} is the value of a real number x. The absolute value of the difference in the x-values between (1,7) and (3,11) is 2.
What is Absolute Value?An absolute value of |x| {modulus of x} is the value of a real number x, the value we get is always a non-negative number, for example, |-5| will give 5, and also, |5| will give 5 as well.
Given the two coordinates (1, 7) and (3, 11) this can be written as,
(x₁ , y₁) = (1, 7)
(x₂ , y₂) = (3, 11)
Now, the absolute value of the difference in the x-values between (1,7) and (3,11) can be written as,
Absolute difference = |x₁ - x₂|
= |1 - 3|
= |-2|
= 2
Hence, the absolute value of the difference in the x-values between (1,7) and (3,11) is 2.

x ≤ [tex]\frac{9}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex](12x + 8) ≤ - 2x + 11 ← distribute parenthesis on left side
3x + 2 ≤ - 2x + 11 ( add 2x to both sides )

y = 2 sin(t)
0 ≤ t ≤ 2π
With this parameterization, find the followings

Thank you
The values of dx and dy are give as -2sin(t)dt and 2cos(t)dt respectively. The answer to the given problem can be stated as,
dy = 2cos(t)dt
And, dx = -2sin(t)dt.
What is the integration of a function?The integration can be defined as the inverse operation of differentiation. If a function is the integration of some function f(x) , then differentiation of that function is f(x).
The given integral over C is ∫ (x − y) dx + (x + y) dy.
And, the parameters for C are as follows,
x = 2cos(t)
y = 2sin(t)
0 ≤ t ≤ 2π
Now, on the basis of these parameters dx and dy can be found as follows,
x = 2cos(t)
Differentiate both sides with respect to t as follows,
dx/dt = 2d(cos(t))/dt
=> dx/dt = -2sin(t)
=> dx = -2sin(t)dt
And, y = 2sin(t)
Differentiate both sides with respect to t as follows,
dy/dt = 2d(sin(t))/dt
=> dy/dt = 2cos(t)
=> dy = 2cos(t)dt
Hence, the value of dx and dy as per the given parameters is -2sin(t)dt and 2cos(t)dt respectively.

The size of the left upper chamber of the heart is one measure of cardiovascular health. When the upper left chamber is enlarged, the risk of heart problems is increased. A paper described a study in which the left atrial size was measured for a large number of children ages 5 to 15 years. Based on this data, the authors conclude that for healthy children, left atrial diameter was approximately normally distributed with a mean of 26.5 mm and a standard deviation of 4.8 mm.
Required:
a. Approximately what proportion of healthy children has left atrial diameters less than 24 mm?
b. Approximately what proportion of healthy children has left atrial diameters greater than 32 mm?
c. Approximately what proportion of healthy children has left atrial diameters between 25 and 30 mm?
d. For healthy children, what is the value for which only about 20% have a larger left atrial diameter?
Answer:
a) P [ X < 24 mm ] = 0,3015 or P [ X < 24 mm ] = 30,15 %
b) P [ X > 32 mm ] = 0,1251 or P [ X > 32 mm ] = 12,51 %
c) P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = 0,4964 or P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = 49,64 %
d) z(s) = 0,84
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Distribution N ( μ₀ ; σ ) is N ( 26,5 ; 4,8 )
a) P [ X < 24 mm ] = ( X - μ₀ ) / σ
P [ X < 24 mm ] = (24 - 26,5)/ 4,8 = - 0,5208 ≈ - 0,52
P [ X < 24 mm ] = - 0,52
And from z-table we find area for z score
P [ X < 24 mm ] = 0,3015 or P [ X < 24 mm ] = 30,15 %
b)P [ X > 32 mm ] = 1 - P [ X < 32 mm ]
P [ X < 32 mm ] = ( 32 - 26,5 ) / 4,8
P [ X < 32 mm ] = 5,5/4,8 = 1,1458 ≈ 1,15
P [ X < 32 mm ] = 1,15
And from z-table we get
P [ X < 32 mm ] = 0,8749
Then:
P [ X > 32 mm ] = 1 - 0,8749
P [ X > 32 mm ] = 0,1251 or P [ X > 32 mm ] = 12,51 %
c) P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = P [ X < 30 ] - P [ X < 25 ]
P [ X < 30 ] = 30 - 26,5 / 4,8 = 0,73
From z-table P [ X < 30 ] = 0,7673
P [ X < 25 ] = 25 - 26,5 / 4,8 = - 0,3125 ≈ - 0,31
From z-table P [ X < 25 ] = 0,2709
Then
P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = 0,7673 - 0,2709
P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = 0,4964 or P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = 49,64 %
d) If 20 %
z- score for 20% is from z-table

Determine whether the samples are independent or dependent. A data set included the daily number of words spoken by 210 randomly selected women and 210 randomly selected men.a. The samples are independent because there is a natural pairing between the two samples. b. The samples are dependent because there is a natural pairing between the two samples. c. The samples are dependent because there is not a natural pairing between the two samples. d. The samples are independent because there is not a natural pairing between the two samples.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
The samples are independent because there is not a natural pairing between the two samples. (d.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Paired samples or dependent samples are samples in which natural matching or coupling occur, thus creating a data set where data from one sample is uniquely paired to another sample because they are from related groups. Examples are: pre-test/post-test data gotten before and after an intervention, samples from siblings, twins, couples etc.
On the other hand, independent or unpaired samples are those data sets that are gotten from unrelated groups, these type of samples are gotten by matching randomly sampling two unrelated groups without first matching the subjects. In our example, the sample from randomly selected women and men are not paired and unrelated, hence they are independent samples.
The samples are independent because there is not a natural pairing between the two samples. Hence, option (D) is correct.
Let us understand both the events in a systematic manner to answer this question.
Independent Events:
The simple way to understand the events, If the events are not related to each other, then the events are independent of each other. If one event is dependent on another then it is not an independent event.
Example:
Event 1: Toss a coin.
Event 2: Roll a die.
Both the events are independent of each other.
Dependent Events:
The simple way to understand the events, If the events are related to each other, then the events are independent of each other. If one event is dependent on another then it is not an independent event.
Example:
Event 1: Toss a coin.
Event 2: If head appears then roll a die.
Both the events are dependent on each other.
Thus, the samples are independent because there is not a natural pairing between the two samples.

A racecar is traveling at a constant speed of 150 miles per hour. How many feet does it travel in 5 seconds? Remember that 1 mile is 5280 feet.
Answer:
distance covered in 5 seconds
= 1.4283 *10^10 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A racecar is traveling at a constant speed of 150 miles per hour.
One mile = 5280 feet
150 miles= 5290*150
150 miles= 793500 feet
A racecar is traveling at a constant speed of 793500 feet per hour.
Converting 793500 feet per hour to feet per seconds .
793500 feet per hour
= 793500*60*60 feet per seconds
=2856600000 feet per second
In 5 seconds , distance covered
= 2856600000 *5
distance covered in 5 seconds

C-10x – 10 = -10x - 10
D10x - 10 = -10x – 10
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
An equation with infinite solutions has a solution of x=x. You can plug in any x-value and it will equal x, so there are infinitely many solutions.
ANSWER A
10x-10=-10x+10
We add 10 to both sides.
10x=-10x+20
We add 10x to both sides.
20x=20
We divide both sides by 20.
x=1
We have a solution of 1, so this is not an equation with infinitely many solutions.
Answer B
-10x-10=-10x+10
We add 10 to both sides.
-10x=-10x+20
We add 10 x to both sides.
0=20
This has no solutions because the x is gone, so there cannot be a solution.
Answer C
-10x-10=-10x-10
We add 10 to both sides.
-10x=-10x
We divide both sides by -10.
x=x
This has infinitely many solutions.
Answer D
10x-10= -10x-10
We add 10x to both sides.
20x-10=-10
We add 20 to both sides.
20x=0
We divide both sides by 20.
x=0
There is a single solution here, not infinitely many.
Therefore, the answer is C. -10x-10=-10x-10.

Michael records the height of 1000 people. This data is a normal distribution and the sample mean was 0.75. Identify the margin of error for this data set.
Answer:
0.0284Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for calculating the Margin of error of a dataset is expressed as;
Margin of error = [tex]Z*\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } \\\\[/tex] where;
Z is the z-score of 95% confidence interval = 1.96
p is the sample proportion/mean = 0.75
n is the sample size = total number of people = 1000
Note that when the confidence interval is not given, it is always safe to use 95% confidence.
Substituting this values into the formula we have;
[tex]ME = 1.96*\sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{1000} } \\\\ME = 1.96*\sqrt{\frac{0.7(0.3)}{1000} } \\\\ME = 1.96*\sqrt{0.00021} } \\\\ME = 1.96*0.01449\\\\ME = 0.0284[/tex]
Hence the margin error for the dataset is 0.0284

Yes
No
Answer:
(a) The standardized z-score for this shipment is -3.392.
(b) Yes, this an outlier.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the Ball Corporation’s aluminum can manufacturing facility in Ft. Atkinson, Wisconsin, knows that the metal thickness of incoming shipments has a mean of 0.2771 mm with a standard deviation of 0.000855 mm.
Let X = the metal thickness of incoming shipments.
The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;
Z = [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] ~ N(0,1)
where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = mean thickness = 0.2771 mm
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 0.000855 mm
(a) Now, it is given that a certain shipment has a diameter of 0.2742 mm and we have to find the standardized z-score for this shipment.
So, z-score = [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{0.2742-0.2771}{0.000855}[/tex] = -3.392
Hence, the standardized z-score for this shipment is -3.392.
(b) Yes, we can consider this as an outlier because the standardized z-score is very large and this value is far from the population mean.
Closing prices of two stocks are recorded for 50 trading days. The sample standard deviation of stock X is 4.665 and the sample standard deviation of stock Y is 8.427. The sample covariance is $35.826.
Calculate the sample correlation coefficient. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
Answer:
The sample correlation coefficient r = 0.9113
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are interested in calculating the sample correlation coefficient.
From the question, we are given;
We are given that,
The sample standard deviation of stock X = 4.665
The sample standard deviation of stock Y = 8.427
The sample covariance = 35.826
Mathematically, the Pearson correlation coefficient "r", it is given as;
r = (co-variance of X and Y)/(standard deviation of X * Standard deviation of Y)
Inputing these values, we have;
r = (35.826)/(4.665 * 8.427) = 0.9113
The length of time it takes college students to find a parking spot in the library parking lot follows a normal distribution with a mean of 6.5 minutes and a standard deviation of 1 minute. Find the probability that a randomly selected college student will find a parking spot in the library parking lot in less than 6.0 minutes.
Answer: P(X<6) = 0.3085 or 30.85%
Step-by-step explanation: Determine, first, z-score:
[tex]z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
x is a random variable for time a student takes to find a spot, in this case, x=6:
[tex]z = \frac{6-6.5}{1}[/tex]
z = -0.5
Using z-score table, find z-score:
P(X<6) = P(z< -0.5)
P(X<6) = 0.3085
Probability of finding a parking spot in less than 6 minutes is approximately 30.85%.
