ANSWER: B. 13/8

STEP BY STEP THING:

20a−16=12(3−a)

20a−16=−12a+36

32a−16=36

32a=52

32a/32 = 52/32

a = 13/8

The mean of a set of credit scores is Mu = 690 and sigma = 14. Which credit score is within a z-score of 3.3? 634 640 720 750

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

720

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we would be using the formula for z- score

The formula for calculating a z-score is z = (x-μ)/σ

where x = raw score

μ = population mean

σ = sigma = population standard deviation.

From the question, we are given

The mean of a set of credit scores Mu = 690

sigma = population standard deviation 14

z - score = 3.3

This means we are to find x

z = (x-μ)/σ

3.3 = x - 690/ 14

Cross Multiply

3.3 × 14 = x - 690

46.2 = x - 690

x = 690 + 46.2

x = 736.2

Since we are told that it is a range, the closest out of the options given to our calculated x which is 736.2 is 720

Which could be the graph of f(x) = |x - h| + k if h and k are both positive? On a coordinate plane, an absolute value graph has

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = |x - h| + k has a vertex at (h, k), where both h and k are positive. Only

"On a coordinate plane, an absolute value graph has a vertex at (2, 1)" satisfies those requirements.

Nikki drew a rectangle with a perimeter of 18 units on a coordinate grid. Two of the vertices were (4, –3) and (–1, –3). What co

Talja [164]

Answer:

There are two possible solutions for the other two vertices of the rectangle:

(i) (4, 1), (-1, 1), (ii) (4, -7), (-1, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometrically speaking, the perimeter of a rectangle ( $p$ ) is:

$p = 2\cdot b + 2\cdot h$ (1)

Where:

$b$ - Base of the rectangle.

$h$ - Height of the rectangle.

Let suppose that the base of the rectangle is the line segment between (4, -3) and (-1, -3). The length of the base is calculated by Pythagorean Theorem:

$b = \sqrt{[(-1)-4]^{2}+[(-3)-(-3)]^{2}}$

$b = 5$

If we know that $p = 18$ and $b = 5$ , then the height of the rectangle is:

$2\cdot h = p-2\cdot b$

$h = \frac{p-2\cdot b}{2}$

$h = \frac{p}{2}-b$

$h = 4$

There are two possible solutions for the other two vertices of the rectangle:

(i) (4, 1), (-1, 1), (ii) (4, -7), (-1, -7)

Decide whether the function is an exponential growth or exponential decay function, and find the constant percentage rate of gro

frosja888 [35]

Consider the function f ( x ) = 2479 ⋅ 0.9948x First compare this with f ( x ) po ( 1 + r ) ^ 2 We get po = 2479 And 1 + r = 0.9948 = 1 – 0.0052 r = -0.0052 < 0 Therefore, f is an exponential decay function with a decay rate of 0.0052 x 100 = 0.52%
