In this scenario, we need to algebraically express the following:

"64 less than" y "is at least −128"

Thus:

64 less than y is represented as: y-64

At least −128 indicates that the term y-64 must be greater than or equal to -128.

$y-64 \geq-128$

Next, we solve:

$y \geq-128 + 64\\y \geq-64$

Answer:

$y\geq-64$

Response:

y - 64 ≥ -128

y ≥ -64

Detailed solution:

Initial inequality:

y - 64 ≥ -128

Rearranging:

y - 64 + 64 ≥ -128 + 64

y ≥ -64

Focus groups of 15 people are randomly selected to discuss products of the Yummy Company. It is determined that the mean number

babunello [11817]

Answer:

Indeed, having 15 people recognize the brand would be considered unusual, as it lies beyond 2 standard deviations from the average.

Step-by-step explanation:

Examine the provided data.

The average recognition rate for the Yummy brand name among groups is 12.5, with a standard deviation of 0.58.

Mean = μ= 12.5

σ = 0.58

n = 15

$\mu\pm2\sigma=12.5\pm 2(0.58)\\\mu\pm2\sigma=12.5\pm1.16\\\mu\pm2\sigma=[11.34, 13.66]$

Thus, having 15 people recognize the brand would indeed be unusual, as it is outside of the 2 standard deviations from the mean.

Which function has no horizontal asymptote? F (x) = StartFraction 2 x minus 1 Over 3 x squared EndFraction f (x) = StartFraction

tester [12383]

Response:

$f(x)=\frac{2x^2}{3x-1}$

Detailed explanation:

The function $f(x)=\frac{2x-1}{3x}$ features a horizontal asymptote which is $y=\frac{2}{3}$

The function $f(x)=\frac{x-1}{3x}$ presents a horizontal asymptote which is $y=\frac{1}{3}$

One function $f(x)=\frac{2x^2}{3x-1}$ lacks a horizontal asymptote because the degree of its numerator surpasses that of the denominator,

The function $f(x)=\frac{3x^2}{x^2-1}$ displays a horizontal asymptote which is $y=3$

Tim was given a large bag of sweets and ate one third of the sweets before stopping as he was feeling sick. The next day he ate

Leona [12618]

Answer: Initially, he had 27 sweets.

Step-by-step explanation: The most logical approach is to work backwards from what remained after the third day to the start of the first day.

On the third day, he consumed one-third of his sweets and was left with 8. If we let the total sweets on day three be denoted as a, then one-third of a equals what he ate and the two-thirds left equals 8, giving us:

8/a = 2/3

By cross-multiplying, we find:

8 x 3 = 2a

Therefore, 24 = 2a

This leads to a = 12.

Let the sweets on day two be represented as b. If he consumed one-third of b and was left with 12, we have the same structure; hence:

12/b = 2/3

Cross-multiplying gives:

12 x 3 = 2b

So, 36 = 2b, leading to b = 18.

Denote the number of sweets on day one as x. If one-third of x was eaten and 18 remained, we can set up the equation:

18/x = 2/3

Again, cross-multiplying results in:

18 x 3 = 2x

Which simplifies to 54 = 2x, yielding x = 27.

Thus, Tim received 27 sweets at the start.

A nationwide survey of 100 boys and 50 girls in the first grade found that the daily average number of boys who are absent from

Leona [12618]

The formula to calculate the difference between two standard deviations of populations n1 and n2 is:
sigma (difference)=√(sigma1/n1 + sigma2/n2). For this scenario:

sigma(d)= √(49/100 + 36/50)

Thus, the calculated standard deviation of the difference equals 1.1.
