Given equation : y=ax^2
Taking a to the other side we have, x^2=(1/a)*y
This equation describes a parabola that opens up.
When a is negative, the focus is on the negative y-axis, therefore, the parabola opens down.
The answer is a. down.

A certain car model has a mean gas mileage of 34 miles per gallon (mpg) with a standard deviation A pizza delivery company buys

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

$z =\frac{33.3- 34}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{54}}}= -1.028$

$z =\frac{34.3- 34}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{54}}}= 0.441$

An we can use the normal standard table and the following difference and we got this result:

$P(-1.028$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this statement to complete the problem "with a standard deviation 5 mpg"

We have the following info given:

$\mu = 34$ represent the mean

$\sigma= 5$ represent the deviation

We have a sample size of n = 54 and we want to find this probability:

$P(33.3 < \bar X< 34.3)$

And for this case since the sample size is large enough >30 we can apply the central limit theorem and then we can use this distribution:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu , \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

And we can use the z score formula given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

And replacing we got:

$z =\frac{33.3- 34}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{54}}}= -1.028$

$z =\frac{34.3- 34}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{54}}}= 0.441$

An we can use the normal standard table and the following difference and we got this result:

$P(-1.028$

If we have two similar triangles:
Triangle 1 (base 1 , height1).
Triangle 2 (base 2, height 2)
Then:

base 1 /height 1=base 2 /height 2

Data:
base 1=0.2 m
height 1= 1 m
base 2= 8 m
height 2=x

We calculate the height of the tower:
base 1 /height 1=base 2 /height 2
0.2 m / 1m=8 m / x
x=(8 m * 1 m) / 0.2 m
x=8 m²/0.2 m
x=40 m

Answer. the heigth of the tower will 40 m
