The women’s heptathlon in the Olympics consists of seven track and field events: the 200-m and 800-m runs, 100-m high hurdles, shot put, javelin, high jump, and long jump. In the 2000 Olympics, the best 800-m time, run by Gertrud Bacher of Italy, was 8 seconds faster than the mean. The winning long jump by the Russian Yelena Prokhorova was 60 centimeters longer than the mean. Bacher’s winning 800-m time of 129 seconds was 8 seconds faster than the mean qualifying time of 137 seconds (the standard deviation of the qualifying times was 5 seconds). Prokhorova’s winning long jump was 60cm longer than the average 6-m jump (Note: the standard deviation of the long jumps was 30 cm). Which performance is more outstanding (and hence deserves more points when computing their overall score)? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Prokhorova is more outstanding.

Step-by-step explanation: To compare scores from different distributions, first standardize it:

z-score = [tex]\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

where

x is the individual mean you want to compare

μ is the mean of the population

σ is standard deviation

For Gertrud Bacher:

z-score = [tex]\frac{129-137}{5}[/tex]

z-score = [tex]-1.6[/tex] (s)

The negative sign indicates Bacher's mean is less than the mean

For Yelena Prokhorova:

z-score = [tex]\frac{660-600}{30}[/tex]

z-score = 2 (cm)

The positive sign indicates Prokhorova's mean is more than the mean.

Using z-score table, you determine the percentiles are:

For Bacher: Percentile = 5.5%

For Prokhorova: Percentile = 97.7%

Bacher's percentile means she is above 5.5% of the participants, while Prokhorova is 97.7% above the other competitors, which means Prokhorova have a better performance and deserves more points.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Gradient of A = 7/-7 = -1.

b. For line B, m = 3/1.5 = 2 and c = y-intercept = 3.

c. The line parallel to B will have the same gradient m = 2.

It also passes through (1, -1) so we use the point-slope form of the straight line

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Here m = 2 and (x1, y1) = (1, -1) so

y - (-1) = 2(x - 1)

y = 2x - 2 - 1

y = 2x -3.

Answer: for plato users

A is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

I just took the test had 100%

The correct option is A. [tex]x^{2} -x-10=0[/tex].

Given quadratic equation  [tex]\frac{2}{3x-6} -\frac{1}{3x+6} =\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

On solving,  [tex]\frac{2(3x+6)-1(3x-6)}{(3x-6)(3x+6)} =\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Further, [tex]\frac{6x+12-3x+6}{9x^{2} -6^{2} } =\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3x+18}{9x^{2} -36} =\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Taking 3 common from numerator and 9 common from denominator, we have

[tex]\frac{3(x+6)}{9(x^{2} -4)} =\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{(x+6)}{3(x^{2} -4)} =\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x+6}{x^{2} -4} =1[/tex]

[tex]x+6=x^{2} -4[/tex]

On rearranging in decreasing powers of x we get,[tex]x^{2} -x-10=0[/tex].

Hence on solving, We get [tex]x^{2} -x-10=0.[/tex]

the first one reads 135

the second one reads approximately 81

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute in m and either point into the point slope form

y=m(x-x1) + y

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

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

Now lets distribute the 1/3 to and combine the constants to put the answer in standard form

x-intercept = 346/-60 = 173/-30 = -5.76667

y-intercept = 346/1 = 346.00000

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

y-(-4+60*x+350)=0

Equation of a Straight Line

1.1 Solve y-60x-346 = 0

Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line y-60x-346 = 0 and calculate its properties

Graph of a Straight Line :

Calculate the Y-Intercept :

Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 346/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y=346.00000

y-intercept = 346/1 = 346.00000

Calculate the X-Intercept :

When y = 0 the value of x is 173/-30 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x=-5.76667

x-intercept = 346/-60 = 173/-30 = -5.76667

Calculate the Slope :

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is 346.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is 466.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 466.000 - 346.000 = 120.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

Slope = 120.000/2.000 = 60.000

Geometric figure: Straight Line

Slope = 120.000/2.000 = 60.000

x-intercept = 346/-60 = 173/-30 = -5.76667

y-intercept = 346/1 = 346.00000
