Answer:

0.5 A

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

I believe the question is incomplete. However, as per the information provided:

The simplest way to calculate the Current (unit is Amperage), is understanding the relationship between the three: Power, Voltage and Current.

<em>(Quick Tip: </em><em>W=AV</em><em>; where W -> Watts (Power), A -> Ampere (Current), V -> Volts (Voltage))</em>

Using the formula we calculate the Ampere:

W = A x V

60 = A x 120

60/120 = A (We divide the equation be 120)

0.5 = A  (Simply reduce the fraction 60/120  = 1/2 = 0.5)

There are 39 members on the Central High School student government council. When a vote took place on a certain proposal, all of
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Option a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that all of the seniors and none of the freshmen voted for it.

Some of the juniors and some of the sophomores voted for the proposal and some voted against it.

If the proposal was to be adopted then a simple of majority of votes should have been cast.

Since all seniors voted for it, and no freshmen number of freshmen has to be less than seniors then only majority would have voted.

Regarding juniors and sophomores we assume some voted and some against thus approximately nullifying their votes.

So the correct option would be

a. There are more seniors than freshmen on the council.

Option b wrong since only some voted for it.

C is wrong because actual seniors were not given.

D is wrong because while seniors voted for sophomores voted against.

e is wrong since sophomores and freshmen nullified each other

Let f(x)=−3x. The graph of f(x) ​is transformed into the graph of g(x) by a vertical stretch of 4 units and a translation of 4 u
deff fn [24]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Ques 1)

                   g(x)=-12x+48

Ques 2)

                 g(x)=|3x|+4

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Ques 1)

We know that if a graph is stretched by a factor of a then the transformation if given by:

    f(x) → a f(x)

Also, we know that the translation of a function k units to the right or to the left is given by:

  f(x) →  f(x+k)

where if k>0 then the shift is k units to the left

and if k<0 then the shift is k units to the right.

Here the graph of f(x) ​is transformed into the graph of g(x) by a vertical stretch of 4 units and a translation of 4 units right.

This means that the function g(x) is given by:

g(x)=4f(x-4)\\\\i.e.\\\\g(x)=4(-3(x-4))\\\\i.e.\\\\g(x)=-12(x-4)\\\\i.e.\\\\g(x)=-12x+48

Ques 2)

We know that the transformation of the type:

  f(x) → f(x)+k

is a shift or translation of the function k units up or down depending on k.

If k>0 then the shift is k units up.

and if k<0 then the shift is k units down.

Here, The graph of the function f(x)=|3x| is translated 4 units up.

This means that the transformed function g(x) is given by:

                 g(x)=|3x|+4

the time taken by a student to the university has been shown to be normally distributed with mean of 16 minutes and standard dev
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

a) 2.84% probability that he is late for his first lecture.

b) 5.112 days

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 16, \sigma = 2.1

a. Find the probability that he is late for his first lecture.

This is the probability that he takes more than 20 minutes to walk, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 20. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{20 - 16}{2.1}

Z = 1.905

Z = 1.905 has a pvalue of 0.9716

1 - 0.9716 = 0.0284

2.84% probability that he is late for his first lecture.

b. Find the number of days per year he is likely to be late for his first lecture.

Each day, 2.84% probability that he is late for his first lecture.

Out of 180

0.0284*180 = 5.112 days
