Greta is trying to determine the portion of green candies in various bags of green and yellow candies. Using the information bel

IrinaK [193]

Answer: a) $\dfrac{1}{3}$ b) $\dfrac{71}{100}$ c) $\dfrac{5}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

There are green and yellow candies in each bag.

Bag A: Two thirds of the candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Part of yellow candies in bag A = $\dfrac{2}{3}$

Part of green candies in bag A would be

$1-\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{3-2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{3}$

Bag B: 29 % of the candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Percentage of candies are yellow = 29%

Portion of candies are green is given by

$1-\dfrac{29}{100}\\\\=1-0.29\\\\=0.71\\\\=\dfrac{71}{100}$

Bag C: 4 out of every 9 candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Portion of yellow candies = $\dfrac{4}{9}$

Portion of green candies would be

$1-\dfrac{4}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{9-4}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{9}$

Hence, a) $\dfrac{1}{3}$ b) $\dfrac{71}{100}$ c) $\dfrac{5}{9}$

A sample with mean of 85 and SD of 12 is transformed into z-scores. After the transformation, what are the values for the mean a

MrRa [10]

Answer:

The value remain unchanged.

Step-by-step explanation:

By Z score, we mean:

Z = $\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$ , if we substitute the given values of mean and standard deviation, we obtain the z score value. That is,

Z = $\frac{85 - 0}{12}$ = 85/12 = 7.083333.

NB: We assume that mean and standard deviation are in the same units.
