Which equivalent four-term polynomial can be created using the X method?

The average American man consumes 9.8 grams of sodium each day. Suppose that the sodium consumption of American men is normally

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

(a) The distribution of X is N (9.8, 0.8²).

(b) The probability that an American consumes between 8.8 and 9.9 grams of sodium per day is 0.4461.

(c) The middle 30% of American men consume between 9.5 grams to 10.1 grams of sodium.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X is defined as the amount of sodium consumed.

The random variable X has an average value of, μ = 9.8 grams.

The standard deviation of X is, σ = 0.8 grams.

(a)

It is provided that the sodium consumption of American men is normally distributed.

The random variable X follows a normal distribution with parameters μ = 9.8 grams and σ = 0.8 grams.

Thus, the distribution of X is N (9.8, 0.8²).

(b)

If X ~ N (µ, σ²), then $Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ , is a standard normal variate with mean, E (Z) = 0 and Var (Z) = 1. That is, Z ~ N (0, 1).

To compute the probability of Normal distribution it is better to first convert the raw score (X) to z-scores.

Compute the probability that an American consumes between 8.8 and 9.9 grams of sodium per day as follows:

$P(8.8$

$=P(-1.25$

Thus, the probability that an American consumes between 8.8 and 9.9 grams of sodium per day is 0.4461.

(c)

The probability representing the middle 30% of American men consuming sodium between two weights is:

$P(x_{1}$

Compute the value of z as follows:

$P(-z$

The value of z for P (Z < z) = 0.65 is 0.39.

Compute the value of x₁ and x₂ as follows:

$-z=\frac{x_{1}-\mu}{\sigma}\\-0.39=\frac{x_{1}-9.8}{0.8}\\x_{1}=9.8-(0.39\times 0.8)\\x_{1}=9.488\\x_{1}\approx9.5$ $z=\frac{x_{2}-\mu}{\sigma}\\0.39=\frac{x_{1}-9.8}{0.8}\\x_{1}=9.8+(0.39\times 0.8)\\x_{1}=10.112\\x_{1}\approx10.1$

Thus, the middle 30% of American men consume between 9.5 grams to 10.1 grams of sodium.

Gabe and Eugenia bought a house! Their loan is for $117,000 , for 15 years at an annual interest rate of 4% . This results in a

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Principal element is $475.43

Interest payment is $390

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of interest paid in month one is 4%*$117,000*1/12=$390

The interest is calculated based on the annual interest rate of 4% apportioned to reflect one month interest by multiplying by 1/12

The principal element of monthly payment is the monthly payment minus interest.

principal paid in month one=$865.43-$390=$475.43

Ultimately,$475.43 goes toward reducing her loan balance while the $390 is interest on loan

PLS HELP ASAP I WILL IVE BRAINLIST ANSWER!!!!!Leon verified that the side lengths 21, 28, 35 form a Pythagorean triple using thi

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Leon is correct. (Option 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Leon verified that the side lengths 21, 28, 35 form a Pythagorean triple using this procedure.

Step 1: Find the greatest common factor of the given lengths: 7

Step 2: Divide the given lengths by the greatest common factor: 3, 4, 5

Step 3: Verify that the lengths found in step 2 form a Pythagorean triple.

we have to explain whether or not Leon is correct.

As, 3,4,5 forms a Pythagorean triplet i.e satisfies the Pythagoras theorem

$Hypotenuse^2=Base^2+Perpendicular^2$

⇒ $5^2=3^2+4^2$

Let a, b, c forms a Pythagorean triplet

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

Multiplied by 4 on both sides

⇒ $4a^2+4b^2=4c^2$

⇒ ${2a}^2+{2b}^2={2c}^2$

Hence, we say 4a, 4b and 4c also forms a Pythagorean triplet.

∴ multiplying every length of a Pythagorean triple by the same whole number results in a Pythagorean triple.

Hence, Leon is correct.

The lengths of the sides of triangle PQR are consecutive even integers. The perimeter of triangle PQR is 42 cm. What is the leng

Yuri [45]

Answer:

16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive even integers representing the sides of the triangle PQR be x, (x +2) and (x + 4).

Since, perimeter of triangle PQR = 42 cm

$\therefore \: x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 42 \\ 3x + 6 = 42 \\ 3x = 42 - 6 \\ 3x = 36 \\ x = \frac{36}{3} \\ x = 12 \\ \\ \because \: longest \: side = x + 4 \\ \therefore \: longest \: side = 12 + 4 \\ \red{ \bold{ \therefore \: longest \: side = 16 \: cm}} \\$
