ost 2 dollars and 50 cents each at the hardware store.
Create an equation to represent her profit from the project. Let x represent the number of light fixtures and y represent her total profit (the amount of money she has left over after paying for the light fixtures). If she wants to earn a profit of 75 dollars from this project, how many fixtures should she plan to install? Show your work.

Answer:

y = 100 - 2.5 x is the equation that represents her total profit from

the project

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

1. An electrician earns 100 dollars for a project installing light fixtures

2. She must pay for the light fixtures herself and they cost 2 dollars

and 50 cents each

3. x represent the number of light fixtures and y represent her

total profit

Her profit is the amount of money she has left over after paying for

the light fixtures

∵ The cost of each light fixtures is 2 dollars and 50 cents

- Let us change the cents to dollar

∵ $1 = 100 cents

∴ 50 cents = dollar

∴ 2 dollars and 50 cents = $2.5

∵ Her profit = The money she earns - The money she pays

∴ The cost of each light fixtures = $2.5

∵ She installs x light fixtures

∴ She pays 2.5 x dollar

∵ She earns $ 100 for installing x light fixtures

∵ Her profit is $y

∴ y = 100 - 2.5 x

y = 100 - 2.5 x is the equation that represents her total profit from

the project

Scores on Ms. Bond's test have a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 11. David has a score of 52 on Ms. Bond's test. Scores o

otez555 [7]

Answer:

Due to the higher z-score, David has the higher standardized score

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

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.

Which student has the higher standardized score

Whoever had the higher z-score.

David:

Scores on Ms. Bond's test have a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 11. David has a score of 52 on Ms. Bond's test. So $X = 52, \mu = 70, \sigma = 11$

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

$Z = \frac{52 - 70}{11}$

$Z = -1.64$

Steven:

Scores on Ms. Nash's test have a mean of 64 and a standard deviation of 6. Steven has a score of 52 on Ms. So $X = 52, \mu = 64, \sigma = 6$

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

$Z = \frac{52 - 64}{6}$

$Z = -2$

Due to the higher z-score, David has the higher standardized score

the diagonal length of a square window is 40 cm. find the area of the window. Btw any help is appreciated ! :)

7nadin3 [17]

Ok so area is length times width. A square has the same sides all around, which is called a quadrilateral. So you would plug in 40 for length and width. 40x40= 1,600 cm^2 <———— is your answer.

Hope this helped :)

A parallelogram whose vertices have coordinates R(1, -1), S(6, 1), T(8, 5), and U(3, 3) has a shorter diagonal of ___ . 5 √(13)

butalik [34]

Answer:

$|SU|=\sqrt{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parallelogram has vertices R(1, -1), S(6, 1), T(8, 5), and U(3, 3) .

Recall the distance formula;

We use the distance formula to determine the length of the diagonals.

For diagonal R(1,-1) and T(8,5), We have;

$|RT|=\sqrt{(8-1)^2+(5--1)^2}$

$|RT|=\sqrt{(7)^2+(6)^2}$

$|RT|=\sqrt{49+36}$

$|RT|=\sqrt{85}$

For the diagonal S(6,1) U(3,3)

$|SU|=\sqrt{(6-3)^2+(5-3)^2}$

$|SU|=\sqrt{(3)^2+(2)^2}$

$|SU|=\sqrt{9+4}$

$|SU|=\sqrt{13}$

Therefore the shorter diagonal is:

$|SU|=\sqrt{13}$

Triangle E F G is shown. Which statements regarding Triangle E F G are true? Select three options. E F + F G greater-than E G E

Leokris [45]

Answer:

options 1 ( E F + F G greater-than E G ), 2 (E G + F G greater-than E F ) and 5 ( E G + E F less-than F G ) are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given triangle EFG.

In each tirangle with sides lengths a, b and c, we always have

$a+b>c\\ \\a+c>b\\ \\b+c>a$

In triangle EFG:

$EF+FG>EG;$
$EG+GF>EF;$
$FE+EG>FG.$

So, options 1 ( E F + F G greater-than E G ), 2 (E G + F G greater-than E F ) and 5 ( E G + E F less-than F G ) are true.

Options 3 and 4 are false.
