Answer:

5/8 are spelled incorrectly

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 16 words

He spelled 6 correctly

That means he spelled 16-6 = 10 incorrectly

The fraction spelled incorrectly is wrong/total

10/16

Simplify by dividing the top and bottom by 2

Answer:

$\frac{5}{8}$ is the fraction of the words did he misspell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of word spelled correct = 6

Number of total word in spelling test = 16

Number of word spelled incorrect or misspelled = 16 - 6 = 10

Fraction of the words Paul misspell :

$\frac{10}{16}=\frac{5}{8}$

The weights of red delicious apples are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 9 Ounces and a standard deviation of 0

Simora [160]

Answer:

The mean of W is 55 ounces.

The standard deviation of W is 4.33 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X: weight of a red delicious apple, and B: the weight of the box and packing material.

The distribution that will represent W: the total weight of the packaged 5 randomly selected apples will be also normally distributed.

Applying the property of the mean: $E(aX)=aE(X)$ , the mean of W will be:

$\mu_W=E(W)=E(5X+B)=5E(X)+E(B)=5*9+10=45+10=55$

Applying the property of the variance: $V(aX+b)=a^2V(X)$ , the variance of W will be:

$\sigma^2_W=V(W)=V(5X+B)=5^2V(X)+V(B)=25*0.75+0=18.75$

The mean standard deviation of W will be the squared root of V(W):

$\sigma_W=\sqrt{V(W)}=\sqrt{18.75}=4.33$

The mean of W is 55 ounces.

The standard deviation of W is 4.33 ounces.

Hey!

-----------------------------------------

Answer: Yes 3/6 is rational!

-----------------------------------------

Why? Well, because 3 and 6 are integers that don't repeat. 3/6 simplifies to 1/2 or 0.5 which doesn't repeat so it's rational.

Solve the equation for all values of x.<br> (8x+9)(49x^2-100)=0

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

$x = \frac{-9}{8} , \frac{-10}{7} , \frac{10}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+9=0

8x=-9

$x = \frac{-9}{8}$

$49x^{2}-100 = 0$

$(7x)^{2} -10^{2} =0$ ,

$(7x+10)(7x-10)=0$

$7x+10=0, 7x-10=0$

$7x=-10, 7x=10$

$x=-\frac{-10}{7}$ , $x = \frac{10}{7}$
