Answer:

Standard deviation 46.3

Step-by-step explanation:

A 28% of the distribution is equivalent to a z score of -0.5828, you can use a z table to find that.

Z score is calculated as follows:

z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

x is the number being evaluated

μ is the mean

σ is the standard deviation

And it is used to calculate how many standard deviations you are from the mean of the sample.

Replacing with the known information you can calculate the standard deviation:

\sigma=\frac{x-\mu}{z} =\frac{76-103}{-0.5828}= 46.3

Brianna’s teacher asks her which of these three expressions are equivalent to each other. Expression A: 9x - 3x - 4 Expression B
kvasek [131]
Brianna's thinking is wrong because obviously all of the expressions are going to equal -4 when x is 0 because -4 would be the only value. Also, if x was a different number, the expressions wouldn't be equivalent. The equivalent expressions are A. 9x - 3x - 4, and C. 5x + x - 4. This is because when both are simplified, they equal 6x - 4.

Write three to five sentences explaining which levels of production provide Alonzo’s Cycling with the maximum profit.
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

The maximum profit can be attained when 4 bikes are produced each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the attached picture:

In the table given in the picture,  the number of bikes produces varies. We cannot properly compare the profits per day. To be consistent, let us determine the profit per unit of bike produced.The relationship between cost, revenue and profit can be as:

Profit = Revenue - Cost

To find the profit per unit of bike, simply divide the profit with the number of bikes produced (1st column). After you see the results, we can see that the highest profit is $17.5 per unit of bike produced. Therefore, the maximum profit can be attained when 4 bikes are produced each day.

Choose the situation that represents a function. The number of raisins in an oatmeal raisin cookie is a function of the diameter
expeople1 [14]
Answer: The time is takes to cook a turkey is a function of the turkey's weight.

In a function, there is an input and there is an output. The idea of a function is that each individual input is changed into an output.

The time it takes to cook a turkey depends on the size of the turkey.
Smaller turkeys would take less time to cook and larger turkeys would take longer to cook.

So if you start with the turkeys weight, you could determine how long it would need to cook. This is an example of a function.
