AB=1.5 m = 150 cm
BC=AB-AC
BC=150-4.4=145.6 cm = 1.456 m

bearing in mind that AB is 1.5 Meters, and that there are 100 cm in 1 meter, therefore 150 cm in 1.5 m, so AB = 150 cm.

$\bf \underset{\leftarrow ~~\stackrel{1.5~m}{150~cm}~~\to }{\boxed{A}\stackrel{4.4~cm}{\rule[0.35em]{5em}{0.25pt}}C\stackrel{BC}{\rule[0.35em]{23em}{0.25pt}\boxed{B}}} \\\\\\ AB=AC+BC\implies \stackrel{AB}{150}=\stackrel{AC}{4.4}+BC\implies 150-4.4=BC\implies \stackrel{cm}{145.6}=BC$

Cheese sticks that were previously priced at "10 for $1" are now "2 for $1". Find each percent change.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The percent decrease in the number of cheese sticks you can buy for $1 is 80%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Cheese sticks that were previously priced at "10 for $1" are now "2 for $1".

To find : The percent decrease in the number of cheese sticks you can buy for $1 ?

Solution :

The formula used to find percent decrease is given by,

$\%\text{ change}=\frac{\text{Amount of change}}{\text{Original amount }}\times 100$

The price change from 10 to 2,

$\%\text{ change}=\frac{10-2}{10}\times 100$

$\%\text{ change}=\frac{8}{10}\times 100$

$\%\text{ change}=80\%$

The percent decrease in the number of cheese sticks you can buy for $1 is 80%.

Suppose babies born in a large hospital have a mean weight of 4095 grams, and a standard deviation of 569 grams. If 130 babies a

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

$P =0.3998$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ${\overline{x}}$ be the average of the sample, and the population mean will be $\mu$

We know that:

$\mu = 4095$ gr

Let $\sigma$ be the standard deviation and n the sample size, then we know that the standard error of the sample is:

$E=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Where

$\sigma=569$

$n=130$

In this case we are looking for:

$P(|{\displaystyle{\overline{x}}}- \mu|>42)$

This is:

${\displaystyle{\overline{x}}}- \mu>42$ or ${\displaystyle{\overline{x}}}- \mu$

$P=P({\displaystyle{\overline{x}}}- \mu>42)+ P({\displaystyle{\overline{x}}}- \mu$

Now we get the z score

$Z=\frac{{\displaystyle{\overline{x}}}-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$P=P(z>\frac{42}{\frac{569}{\sqrt{130}}}) + P(z$

$P=P(z>0.8416) + P(z$

Looking at the tables for the standard nominal distribution we get

$P =0.1999+0.1999$

$P =0.3998$

andreyandreev [35.5K]

This is the concept of application of the Pythagorean theorem. The resultant speed of the motorboat which is crossing the river that has a northward current of 5 m/s at a speed of 8 m/s will be given by:
c^2=a^2+b^2
c^2=8^2+5^2
c^2=64+25
c^2=89
c=sqrt89
c=9.4 m/s
