Peter is on his school's basketball team. Entering his Senior year he already scored a certain number of points. During his Seni

or year he scored 160 points in
the first ten games and 180 points in the second ten games of his team's twenty game schedule. Write a single function in slope-intercept form with a positive
slope that would closely model his career point total (y) to date after a certain number of games (x) during his Senior Season if he finished with a grand total
of 900 points in his career. What is the y-intercept of the function?

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to the line 2x + 5y = 10 and passes through the point (–5, 1)? Check all that ap
Bond [772]

So the right options are:

y=-\frac{2}{5}x-1

2x+5y = -5

y-1=-\frac{2}{5}(x+5)

Further explanation:

Given equation of line is:

2x+5y=10

We have to convert it into point-slope form

2x+5y=10\\5y=-2x+10\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 5\\y=-\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{10}{5}\\y=-\frac{2}{5}x+2

The co-efficient of x is the slope of the line

So,

m= -\frac{2}{5}

As the required line is parallel to given line, it will also have same slope.

Let m1 be the slope of required line

Then the line will be:

y=m_1x+b

Putting the value of slope

y=\frac{2}{5}x+b

Putting (-5,1) in the equation to find the value of b

1=-\frac{2}{5}(-5)+b\\1=2+b\\b=1-2\\b=-1

Putting the values of slope and b in equation

y=-\frac{2}{5}x-1

Multiplying the whole equation by 5 will give us:

5y = -2x-5

2x+5y = -5

Another form of equation of line is Point-slope form

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Putting the values of slope and point in the equation, we get

y-1=-\frac{2}{5}(x+5)

So the right options are:

y=-\frac{2}{5}x-1

2x+5y = -5

y-1=-\frac{2}{5}(x+5)

"Express as a mixed numeral: 39/8" is a problem found in a fifth-grade arithmetic textbook. This problem is BEST solved through:
Scilla [17]

Answer:

  c.  an algorithm

Step-by-step explanation:

Most math problems are best solved using an algorithm. Certainly, converting numbers from one form to another is easily done that way.

_____

The integer part is the whole-number quotient of the division. The fractional part is the remainder divided by the denominator:

  39/8 = 32/8 + 7/8 = 4 7/8

The heights of a random sample of 50 college students showed a mean of 174.5 centimeters and a standard deviation of 6.9 centime
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

For me, the first step to any statistics exercise is to determine what is the variable of interest and it's distribution.

In this example the variable is:

X: height of a college student. (cm)

There is no information about the variable distribution. To estimate the population mean you need a variable with at least a normal distribution since the mean is a parameter of it.

The option you have is to apply the Central Limit Theorem.

The central limit theorem states that if you have a population with probability function f(X;μ,δ²) from which a random sample of size n is selected. Then the distribution of the sample mean tends to the normal distribution with mean μ and variance δ²/n when the sample size tends to infinity.

As a rule, a sample of size greater than or equal to 30 is considered sufficient to apply the theorem and use the approximation.

The sample size in this exercise is n=50 so we can apply the theorem and approximate the distribution of the sample mean to normal:

X[bar]~~N(μ;σ2/n)

Thanks to this approximation you can use an approximation of the standard normal to calculate the confidence interval:

98% CI

1 - α: 0.98

⇒α: 0.02

α/2: 0.01

Z_{1-\alpha /2}= Z_{1-0.01}= Z_{0.99} =2.334

X[bar] ± Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }

174.5 ± 2.334* \frac{6.9}{\sqrt{50} }

[172.22; 176.78]

With a confidence level of 98%, you'd expect that the true average height of college students will be contained in the interval [172.22; 176.78].

I hope it helps!

Given: PRST square
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

7a²/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the triangle PTS

½ × a × a

a²/2

Length of PS:

sqrt(a² + a²)

asqrt(2)

Length of MS:

¼asqrt(2)

Triangles MCS and TPS are similar

With sides in the ratio:

¼asqrt(2) : a

sqrt(2)/4 : 1

Area of triangle SMC:

A/(a²/2) = [(sqrt(2)/4)]²

2A/a² = 1/8

A = a²/16

Area of PTMC

= a²/2 - a²/16

= 7a²/16

A cement bridge post is 24 inches square and 15 feet 9 inches in length. If the cement weighs 145 pounds per cubic foot, how muc
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The answer is option (C), One cement bridge post weighs 9,135 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Get the total volume of a cement bridge post

The cement bridge post is in the shape of a cuboid, therefor the volume of the cement bridge post can be expressed as;

Volume of cement bridge post=Base area×Length

where;

Base area=(24^2) inches square

1 foot=12 inches

Convert 24 inches to foot=24/12=2^2=4 feet²

Length=15 feet and 9 inches

1 foot=12 inches

Convert 9 inches to foot=9/12=0.75 feet

Total length=(15+0.75)=15.75 feet

replacing;

Volume of cement bridge post=(4×15.75)=63 cubic feet

Volume of cement bridge post=63 cubic feet

Step 2: Get the total weight of the cement bridge post

Total weight of the cement bridge post=Weight per cubic foot×total volume of the cement bridge post

where;

Weight per cubic foot=145 pounds per cubic foot

Total volume of the cement bridge post=63 cubic feet

replacing;

Total weight of the cement bridge post=(145×63)=9,135 pounds

One cement bridge post weighs 9,135 pounds
