Answer:

0.81859

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using z score method

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

where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

Mean 0.8 pound

Standard deviation 0.25 pound

For x = 0.55 pound

z = 0.55 - 0.8/0.25

= -1

Probability -value from Z-Table:

P(x = 0.55) = 0.15866

For x = 1.3 pounds

Z = 1.3 = 0.8/0.25

= 2

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 1.3) = 0.97725

The probability that a randomly selected zucchini will weigh between 0.55 pound and 1.3 pounds is

P(x = 1.3) - P(x = 0.8)

0.97725 - 0.15866

0.81859.

Solve the following quadratic equations by extracting square roots.Answer the questions that follow.
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

1.  x=±4

2. t=±9

3. r=±10

4. x=±12

5. s=±5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x^2 = 16

Taking square root on both sides

\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{16}\\\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{(4)^2}\\

x=±4

2. t^2=81

Taking square root on both sides

\sqrt{t^2}=\sqrt{81}\\\sqrt{t^2}=\sqrt{(9)^2}

t=±9

3. r^2-100=0

r^{2}-100=0\\r^2 =100\\Taking\ Square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{r^2}=\sqrt{100}\\\sqrt{r^2}=\sqrt{(10)^2}

r=±10

4. x²-144=0

x²=144

Taking square root on both sides

\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{144}\\\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{(12)^2}

x=±12

5. 2s²=50

\frac{2s^2}{2} =\frac{50}{2}\\s^2=25\\Taking\ Square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{s^2}=\sqrt{25}\\\sqrt{s^2}=\sqrt{(5)^2}

s=±5 ..

Alik [6]
-3 > -7
u have to remember, with negatives, the larger number is smaller in value.

when u plot these numbers on the number line, the number that is farthest to the left is less then...the number that is farthest to the right is greater then. 

-3 is warmer because it is closer to zero then -7.

MrRa [10]

Answer: 36\%

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: "\frac{9}{25} of Polly's co-workers prefer tea over coffee. 25 What percent of Polly's co-workers prefer tea over coffee".</h3>

In order to solve this exercise, you need to follow the steps shown below:

<em>Step 1:</em> Divide the numerator 9  of the fraction by the denominator 25. Then:

9\div25=0.36

<em>Step 2: </em>To calculate the percent of Polly's co-workers that prefer tea over coffee, you must multiply the quotient obtained before (this is 0.36) by 100.

Therefore, you get the following result:

Percent=(0.36)(100)\\\\Percent=36\%

Then, you can conclude that 36% of Polly's co-workers prefer tea over coffee.

The cup, on the 9th hole of a golf course, is located, dead center, in the middle of a circular green, which is 35 feet in radiu
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

± 27.33 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given problem, we can estimate the initial and final coordinates of the line of the ball path as (-40,-50) and (0,0). Therefore, the slope is:

(-50-0)/(-40-0) = 50/40 = 1.25

Similarly, we can estimate the slope of a perpendicular line to the line of the ball path as: -1*(1/1.25) = -0.8.

Therefore, using (0,0) and the slope -0.8, the equation of the perpendicular line is: -0.8 = (y-0)/(x-0);

-0.8 = y/x

y = -0.8x

Furthermore, we are given the circle radius as 35 ft and we can use the distance formula to find the two points 35 ft far from the origin:

35^2 = x^2 + y^2

y = -0.8x

35^2 = x^2 + (-0.8x)^2

1225 = (x^2 + 0.64x^2)

1225 = 1.64x^2

x^2 = 1225/1.64 = 746.95

x = sqrt(746.95) = ± 27.33 ft
