Lee needed to make drapes the length from the floor to the top of the window. The wall beneath the window had the height of 2 2/

3 feet and the height of just the window measured 2 3/4 feet. How long do the drapes have to be?

Answer: $5\frac{5}{12}\ feet$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The height of the wall under the window = $2\frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{3}\ feet$

The height of the window = $2\frac{3}{4}=\frac{11}{4}\ feet$

Now, the combined height from the floor to the window's top = $\frac{8}{3}+\frac{11}{4}=\frac{32+33}{12}=\frac{65}{12}=5\frac{5}{12}\ feet$

Thus, the drapes need to be $5\frac{5}{12}\ feet$ .

The total of 2 2/3 and 2 3/4 amounts to 5 5/12, indicating that the drapes must be 5 5/12 feet in length (equivalent to 5 feet 5 inches).

$8+292=300$

8 out of 300 were defective.

$\frac{8}{300}=\frac{x}{3000} \\ \\ 8*3000=300*x \\ \\ 24000=300x \\ \\ 80=x$

That corresponds to 80 pairs being defective

What is the y-intercept of line MN?<br><br> What is the equation of MN written in standard form?

Leona [12618]

Answer:

The y-intercept for line MN is 2

The standard form of the equation is revealed as ⇒ x + y = 2

Step-by-step elucidation:

Coordinates marking the ends of line MN → M(-3, 5) and N(2, 0)

The slope of the line was computed as $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

= $\frac{5-0}{-3-2}$

= -1

For line MN which passes through (-3, 5) with a slope of -1, the equation formulated is given by

y - 5 = (-1)(x + 3)

This simplifies to

y - 5 = -x - 3

Thus resulting in

y = -x + 2

Here the equation appears in the y-intercept form of

y = mx + b

where m represents the slope of the line and b denotes the y-intercept

So, consequently, the y-intercept for line MN is 2

The equation generates in the standard form as

x + y = 2

A grocery store receives deliveries of corn from two farms, one in Iowa and the other in Ohio. Both farms produce ears of corn w

Zina [12379]

Answer:

The number of standard deviations above the mean is $z_o = 1.4607$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question indicates that:

The average weight of the corn ears from each farm is $\mu=1.26$

The standard deviation for the corn ears from Iowa is $\sigma_1$

The standard deviation for the corn ears from Ohio is

$\sigma_2= 0.01 + \sigma_1$

A randomly chosen ear of corn from Iowa weighs x = 1.39 pounds

The standardized score is z = 1.645

The weight of a randomly chosen ear of corn from Ohio measures $x_1 = 1.39\ pound$

In general, the standardized score of corn weight from Iowa can be mathematically defined as:

$z = \frac{ 1.39 - 1.26 }{\sigma_1 }$

=> $1.645 = \frac{ 1.39 - 1.26 }{\sigma_1 }$

=> $\sigma_1 = \frac{ 1.39 - 1.26 }{ 1.64 5}$

=> $\sigma_1 = 0.0790$

Conversely, the standardized score of corn weight from Ohio is expressed as:

$z_o = \frac{ 1.39 - 1.26 }{\sigma_2 }$

=> $z_o= \frac{ 1.39 - 1.26 }{0.01 + \sigma_1 }$

=> $z_o = \frac{ 1.39 - 1.26 }{ 0.089}$

=> $z_o = 1.4607$

A positive value indicates this quantity represents the number of standard deviations above the mean.
