A laser beam with an output of 6 milliwatts is directed into a series of mirrors. The laser beam loses 2% of its power every time it reflects off of a mirror. The power p (n) is an exponential function of the number of reflections in the form of p (n) = ab n. What is the value of a

The weights of players in a basketball league are distributed normally. the distance (d) of each player's weight (w) from the mean of 86 kilograms was computed as follows: d = |w - 86| if d is greater than 7 for approximately 5% of the players, what is the approximate standard deviation of the players' weights? a. 1.75 kilograms b. 3.5 kilograms c. 4.3 kilograms d. 7 kilograms

A, b, c, and d have the coordinates (-8, 1), (-2, 4), (-3, -1), and (-6, 5), respectively. which sentence about the points is true? a. a, b, c, and d lie on the same line. b. and are perpendicular lines. c. and are parallel lines. d. and are intersecting lines but are not perpendicular. e. and are parallel lines.

Someone answer asap for ! max recorded the heights of 500 male humans. he found that the heights were normally distributed around a mean of 177 centimeters. which statements about max’s data must be true? a. the median of max’s data is 250 b. more than half of the data points max recorded were 177 centimeters. c. a data point chosen at random is as likely to be above the mean as it is to be below the mean. d. every height within three standard deviations of the mean is equally likely to be chosen if a data point is selected at random.
