Suppose 140 geology students measure the mass of an ore sample. Due to human error and limitations in the reliability of theâ balance, not all the readings are equal. The results are found to closely approximate a normalâ curve, with mean 82 g and standard deviation 3 g. Use the symmetry of the normal curve and the empirical rule as needed to estimate the number of students reporting readings between 79 g and 85 g

Answers

Answer 1

Using the Empirical Rule, it is found that 95 students reported readings between 79 g and 85 g.

What does the Empirical Rule state?

It states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of  the mean.Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, considering that the mean is of 82g and the standard deviation is of 3g, readings between 79g and 85g are within one standard deviation of the mean, hence it will compreend 68% of the 140 readings, so the number of students is given by:

0.68 x 140 = 95.

which is 5,291, written in scientific notation?​

Answers

Answer:

5.291 x 10⁶

Step-by-step explanation:

Why is 5,291,000 written as 5.291 x 106 in scientific notation?

The purpose of scientific notation is for scientists to write very large, or very small, numbers with ease.

Calculating scientific notation for a positive integer is simple, as it always follows this notation:

a x 10b

Follow the steps below to see how 5,291,000 is written in scientific notation.

Step 1

To find a, take the number and move a decimal place to the right one position.

Original Number: 5,291,000

New Number: 5.291000

Step 2

Now, to find b, count how many places to the right of the decimal.

New Number: 5 . 2 9 1 0 0 0

Decimal Count: 1 2 3 4 5 6

There are 6 places to the right of the decimal place.

Step 3

Building upon what we know above, we can now reconstruct the number into scientific notation.

Remember, the notation is: a x 10b

a = 5.291 (Please notice any zeroes on the end have been removed)

b = 6

Now the whole thing:

5.291 x 10⁶

Step 4

Check your work:

10⁶ = 1,000,000 x 5.291 = 5,291,000

Find the area of the figure. Use 3.14 as π.

Answers

Answer: D. 94.25 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total area, we will break the shape up into two different parts.

[] The rounded part is 39.25 in². Let us assume the rounded part is exactly half of a circle.

      Area of a circle:

A = πr²

      Use 3.14 for pi:

A = (3.14)r²

      Find the radius:

d / 2 = r, 10 / 2 = 5 in

      Subsittue:

A = (3.14)(5)²

A = 78.5 in²

      Divide by 2 since it is only half:

78.5 in² / 2 = 39.25 in²

[] The triangle is 55 in².

      Area of a triangle:

A = b*h/2

A = 11 * 10 / 2

A = 110 / 2

A = 55 in²

[] Total area. We will add the two parts together.

55 in² + 39.25 in² = 94.25 in²

Answer:

D. 94.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there! In order to answer this question: you need to take the area of the triangle and the area of half of a circle

The formula for the area of a triangle is: base x height x 1/2

11 x 10 x 1/2 = 55

To find the area of a circle, you have to take the radius, square it, and multiply it by 3.14

So the radius is 5 since 10 is the diameter of the circle

Now we have to square that which is 25

Multiply 25 by 3.14 which is 78.5

Now since we are dealing with a half circle and the area for the whole circle is 78.5, we divide 78.5 by 2 which is 39.25

Now you have to add those two areas and that will get your final answer

55+39.25 is 94.25

So the area for this figure is 94.25 square inches

If V(-5, -2) is
reflected in the line
y = -6, what are
the
coordinates
of V?

Answers

Answer:

(-5, - 10 )

Step-by-step explanation:

y = - 6 is a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis passing through all points with a y- coordinate of - 6

under a reflection in this line the x- coordinate of the point V is the same

V (- 5, - 2 ) with y- coordinate - 2 is 4 units above y = - 6

the reflected point will therefore be 4 units below y = - 6, that is - 10 , then

V (- 5, - 2 ) → V' (- 5, - 10 )

"All rational functions have asymptotes and points of discontinuity." Katlyn wants to put this statement in her math book. Is this statement true? Explain, for her benefit, using 2 examples

Answers

Answer:

Not true.

Step-by-step explanation:

A  rational function is like P(x) / Q(x) where P and Q are polynomials.

Examples would be x^2 / (x^2 - 2)  and  x^2 / (x^2 + 2).

Now the first one will have a vertical asymptote at x = √2 because this value would make the denominator zero.

The second one will have no asymptotes because the only value that would make x^2 + 2 = zero is not real (it would be √2i). So the domain of this  is all real numbers ,  and  no asymptotes.

Answers

Answer:

497 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Use tigonometry to find the value of d

sine = opposite side / hypotenuse306/d = sin 38°d =306/sin 38° d = 497 m (rounded)

Answer:

497 m (nearest whole number)

Step-by-step explanation:

As the problem has been modeled as a right triangle, we can use the sine trigonometric ratio to find the distance d.

Sine trigonometric ratio

   [tex]\sf \sin(\theta)=\dfrac{O}{H}[/tex]

where:

[tex]\theta[/tex] is the angleO is the side opposite the angleH is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)

From inspection of the given diagram:

[tex]\theta[/tex] = 38°O = 306 mH = d

Substitute the values into the formula and solve for d:

[tex]\implies \sf \sin(38^{\circ})=\dfrac{306}{H}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf H=\dfrac{306}{\sin(38^{\circ})}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf H=497.0263891...[/tex]

Therefore, the distance d between the helicopter and the landing pad is 497 m (nearest whole number).

m > 0, what is the value of m?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

These are the givens for the second line. The second line also has m (same value) as the x coordinate of one of the points. I'm not sure why you are given the first line.

x1  = - 1

x2 = m

y1 = - 2

y2 = 10

Second line formula for m

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)            Substitute values for this equation

Solution

Note that the m you seek is both the slope of the second line, and the x  coordinate of one of the points.

m = (10 -  - 2) / (m - - 1)           Change the double minus, and combine

m = 12 / (m + 1)                       Multiply both sides by (m + 1)

m(m+1) = 12                             Remove the brackets

m^2 + m = 12                          Subtract 12 from both sides.

m^2 + m - 12 = 0                    Factor

(m + 4)(m - 3) = 0

We are told that m >0

So m- 3 = 0

m = 3

Answer

The value for m = 3. The first line also has a slope of 3

Isolating the variable(s) and its coefficient(s) on one side of the equation. Dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient of "x" to isolate x.

Subtracting 2 both sides of the equation (according to step 1):

here , we've been given a right angled triangle along with the measure of two of its sides.

and , we've to find the measure of its third side.

so , we'll be using Pythagoras Theorem to find the measure of the third side.

but first , let's take a look at what Pythagoras Theorem is-

Pythagoras theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse of the triangle is equal to the sum of squares of the remaining two sides.

according to the figure ,

side AB = hypotenuse = 60 cm

side AC = perpendicular = 48 cm

side BC = base = a

now by using Pythagoras Theorem ,

[tex]H {}^{2} = P {}^{2} + B {}^{2} \\ \\ (60) {}^{2} = (48) {}^{2} + a {}^{2} \\ \\ 3600 = 2304 + a {}^{2} \\ \\ a {}^{2} = 1296 \\ \\ a = \sqrt{1296} \\ \\ a = 36[/tex]

therefore ,

option ( 4 ) 36 is correct.

hope helpful :D

Answer:

36. (Option 4)

[tex] \\ [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, A right angled triangle is given with the measure of two sides and we are to find the measure of the third side.

We'll find the measure of third side with the help of the Pythagorean theorem,

[tex] \\ {\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad (Base) {}^{2} + (Perpendicular {)}^{2} = (Hypotenuse {)}^{2} }}} \\ \\[/tex]

Here,

The base (BC) is a

The perpendicular (AC) is 48

The hypotenuse (AB) is 60.

[tex] \\ [/tex]

So, substituting the values in the formula we get :

[tex]\\ {\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad (a) {}^{2} + (48 {)}^{2} = ( 60{)}^{2} }}} \\ \\[/tex]

[tex] {\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad (a) {}^{2} = ( 60{)}^{2} - (48 {)}^{2}}}} \\ \\[/tex]

[tex] {\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad (a) {}^{2} =3600 - 2304}}} \\ \\[/tex]

[tex] {\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad (a) {}^{2} =1296}}} \\ \\[/tex]

[tex] {\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad a = \sqrt{1296}}}} \\ \\[/tex]

[tex] {\longrightarrow \pmb{\frak {\qquad a = 36 }}} \\ \\[/tex]

Therefore,

The measure of the third side (a) is 36.
