Answer:

QS=68\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the value of x

we know that

r is the midpoint of qs

so

QR=RS

QS=QR+RS------> QS=2RS -----> equation A

RT=RS+ST ----> equation B

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Substitute the given values in the equation B and solve for x

8x-43=(2x-4)+(4x-1)

8x-43=6x-5

8x-6x=43-5

2x=38

x=19

step 2

Find the value of RS

RS=2x-4

substitute the value of x

RS=2(19)-4

RS=34\ units

step 3

Find the value of QS

Remember equation A

QS=2RS

so

QS=2(34)=68\ units

Calculate the standard deviation. Variance = 107.76. Mean = 34.2
Llana [10]

Answer:

The standard deviation is 10.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Variance, v = 107.76

mean, x = 34.2

The standard deviation is given by;

standard deviation = √variance

standard deviation = √107.76

standard deviation =  10.381

standard deviation = 10.38 (two decimal places)

Therefore, the standard deviation is 10.38

Byron has 1 7/10 kilograms of black pepper. He uses 7/8 of the black pepper and splits between 7 pepper shakers. How much pepper
IrinaVladis [17]
Amount of black pepper = 1 7/10 kg = 17/10 kg.
Amount used is
(7/8)*(17/10) = 119/80 kg

This amount is split between 7 shakers. Each shaker has
(119/80)/7 = 17/80 kg = 0.2125 kg

Answer: 17/80 kg (or  0.2125 kg)

The random variable X is normally distributed with mean 82 and standard deviation 7.4. Find the value of q such that P(82 − q &l
mezya [45]
P(82 - q < x < 82 + q) = 0.44
P(x < 82 + q) - P(82 - q) = 0.44
P(z < (82 + q - 82)/7.4 - P(z < (82 - q - 82)/7.4) = 0.44
P(z < q/7.4) - P(z < -q/7.4) = 0.44
P(z < q/7.4) - (1 - P(z < q/7.4) = 0.44
P(z < q/7.4) - 1 + P(z < q/7.4) = 0.44
2P(z < q/7.4) - 1 = 0.44
2P(z < q/7.4) = 1.44
P(z < q/7.4) = 0.72
P(z < q/7.4) = P(z < 0.583)
q/7.4 = 0.583
q = 0.583 x 7.4 = 4.31

A machine is set to fill the small-size packages of m&amp;m candies with 56 candies per bag. a sample revealed: three bags of 56
luda_lava [24]

In statistics, the amount of degrees of freedom is the quantity of values in the final computation of a statistic that are free to differ. In this case, you can get the answer by adding the number of bags and subtracting 1.

So in computation, this would look like: 3 + 2 + 1 + 2 - 1 = 7

Therefore, 7 is the degrees of freedom.
