A scientist is interested in the effect of time spent with parents and number of hoursyouth spend watching television. The researcher knows that the average teen whose
parents work outside the home spends 20 hours a week watching television. The
population mean = 20 and the standard deviation of the distribution is equal to 5.
Calculate the z-scores for the following individual times:________
If X = 5, z= ________
If X = 37, z= ________

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: If X = 5, z=-3

If X = 37, z= 3.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula to find the z-score for any random variable x is given by :-

z=(x-\mu)/(\sigma)

, where \mu = Population mean

\sigma = Population standard deviation.

As per given , we have

\mu=20\n\n\sigma=5

Then , the z-score for x =5

z=(5-20)/(5)=(-15)/(5)=-3

i.e. If X = 5, z=-3

When x =37,then z=(37-20)/(5)=(17)/(5)=3.4

i.e. If X = 37, z= 3.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller triangle joining the midpoints of the bigger right angle triangle will also be a right angle triangle.

Midpoint Theorem-

According to this, the segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints is half the length of the third side.

Applying this,

\Rightarrow x=(1)/(2)(4x-7)

\Rightarrow 2x=4x-7

\Rightarrow 4x-2x=7

\Rightarrow 2x=7

\Rightarrow x=(7)/(2)=3.5

So, the hypotenuses of the bigger triangle will be,

=6(3.5)+4=25

Applying the mid point theorem, the hypotenuses of the smaller triangle will be,

=(1)/(2)* 25=12.5

Applying Pythagoras theorem in the smaller triangle, the leg will be

=√(12.5^2-3.5^2)\n\n=√(156.25-12.25)\n\n=√(144)\n\n=12

Again applying mid point theorem,

\Rightarrow y=2* 12=24

Factor completely 16x2 + 40x + 25.(4x − 5)(4x − 5)

(2x − 5)(2x − 5)

(2x + 5)(2x + 5)

(4x + 5)(4x + 5)

Answers

Answer:

The factors are : (4x+5)(4x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is :

16x^(2) +40x+25

Re writing the equation :

4^(2)x^(2) +40x+5^(2)

Applying the rule a^(x) b^(x) =(ab)^(x)

(4x)^(2) +40x+5^(2)

Re write 40x as 2.4x.5

(4x)^(2) + 2*4x*5+5^(2)

Applying perfect square formula:

(a+b)^(2)=a^(2) +2ab+b^(2)

where a = 4x and b = 5

So, the factors become : (4x+5)^(2)

or (4x+5)(4x+5)

Hello,

Two angles in a triangle add up to 135 degrees what is the size of the third angle?

Answers


This question is checking to see if you remember what the three angles
of any triangle always add up to.  Apparently you don't, or you would not
need to go out looking for somebody who does.

The three angles inside every triangle always add up to  180° .

If two of them add up to  135° , then that leaves

                           (180° - 135°) =  45° .

for the one remaining angle.
