<span>The moving of decimal to the left is a shortcut to the operation of multiplying number by decimal numbers. So the power of 10 that is involved in converting the measurements of pete is -4, so he needs to multiply the measurement by 10^-4 to convert it.</span>

Answer: Because he moved the decimal 4 places to the left, Pete is dividing by 10 to the 4th power, or 10,000.

The diameters of bolts produced in a machine shop are normally distributed with a mean of 5.725.72 millimeters and a standard de
suter [353]

Answer:

Top 5% is 5.84 milliters and the bottom 5% is 5.60 millimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using 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 problem, we have that:

\mu = 5.72, \sigma = 0.07

Top 5%:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95. So X when Z = 1.645

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

1.645 = \frac{X - 5.72}{0.07}

X - 5.72 = 1.645*0.07

X = 5.84

Bottom 5%:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.05. So X when Z = -1.645

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

-1.645 = \frac{X - 5.72}{0.07}

X - 5.72 = -1.645*0.07

X = 5.60

Top 5% is 5.84 milliters and the bottom 5% is 5.60 millimeters.

The decay rate should have units, it should be negative and it should be 100 times smaller than what you posted.
k = -.000124 / years

k = -.000124 / years
Half-Life = ln (.5) / k
Half-Life = -.693147 / -.000124
Half-Life = <span> <span> <span> 5589.8951612903 </span> </span> </span>

Find the percent of change if the original price is $246.95 and the new price is $199.95. Round to nearest tenth of a percent if
Grace [21]

Answer:

<h3>Percentage change = 19%</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the new price is lesser than the original price the percentage change will be a decrease.

To find the percentage change use the formula

Percentage  \:  \: change =  \frac{change}{original  \:  \: quantity}  \times 100

To find the change subtract the new price from the original price

new price = $199.95

original price = $246.95

Change = $246.95 - $ 199.95 = $47

Percentage  \:  \: change =  \frac{47}{246.95}  \times 100

<h3>Percentage change = 19%</h3>

Hope this helps you
