Problem #5: (8 points)

What number must we multiply by $-\frac23$ to get a product of $\frac34$?

stich3 [128]

Let x be unknown number. If number x is multiplied by $-\dfrac{2}{3}$ and the product is equal to $\dfrac{3}{4},$ then

$x\cdot \left(-\dfrac{2}{3}\right)=\dfrac{3}{4}.$

To find x you should divide $\dfrac{3}{4}$ by $-\dfrac{2}{3}:$

$x=\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4}}{-\dfrac{2}{3}}=\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot \left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)=-\dfrac{3\cdot 3}{4\cdot 2}=-\dfrac{9}{8}.$

Answer: $x=-\dfrac{9}{8}$

Moussa's family took a road trip to the Grand Canyon. Moussa fell asleep after they

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

38%

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you need to find what 434/700 is because that is when she fell asleep. Divide each side by 2 to get 217/350. Use division to find the decimal. Once you are done with that, you get 0.62. You then subtract 0.62 from 1 because that is the amount of when she fell asleep. 1-0.62=0.38. 0.38 is also 38% so Moussa fell asleep for 38% of the trip.

Hopefully this helps you

A normal distribution curve, where x = 70 and σ = 15, was created by a teacher using her students’ grades. What information abou

mash [69]

Answer:

The median and mode of the students grade is 70.

Most of the students scored between 40 and 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the provided information it can be seen that the mean of the distribution is, <em>μ</em> = 70 and the standard deviation is, <em>σ</em> = 15.

For a Normal distributed data the mean, median and mode are the same.

So, the median and mode of the students grade is 70.

The standard deviation of the data represents the spread of the observation, i.e. how dispersed the values are along the curve.

In statistics, the 68–95–99.7 rule, also recognized as the empirical rule, is a shortcut used to recall that 68.27%, 95.45% and 99.73% of the values of a Normally distributed data lie within one, two and three standard deviations of the mean, respectively.

$P(\mu-\sigma$

$P(\mu-2\sigma$

$P(\mu-3\sigma$

Assuming that maximum marks of the exam is 100, it can be said that most of the students scored between 40 and 100.

puteri [66]

Answer:

a. z = 2.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The study variable is "Points per game of a high school team"

The hypothesis is that the average score per game is greater than before, so the parameter to test is the population mean (μ)

The hypothesis is:

H₀: μ ≤ 99

H₁: μ > 99

α: 0.01

There is no information about the variable distribution, I'll apply the Central Limit Theorem and approximate the sample mean (X[bar]) to normal since whether you use a Z or t-test, you need your variable to be at least approximately normal. Considering the sample size (n=36) I'd rather use a Z-test than a t-test.

The statistic value under the null hypothesis is:

Z= X[bar] - μ = 101 - 99 = 2

σ/√n 6/√36

I don't have σ, but since this is an approximation I can use the value of S instead.

I hope it helps!

Which function below has the largest slope?

postnew [5]

The slope of f(x) can be computed as
(f(4) -f(2))/(4 -2) = (12 -4)/(2) = 8/2 = 4

The slope of g(x) is the coefficient of x
10

The slope of h(x) is
(1 level)/(1 play) = 1

The function with the largest slope is g(x).
