Answer:

$x = \pm2 \sqrt 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$~~~~~~x^2=20\\\\\implies x = \pm\sqrt{20}\\\\\implies x = \pm \sqrt{ 4 \times 5}\\\\\implies x = \pm2 \sqrt 5$

Determine the coordinates of the point $P$ on the line $y=-x+6$ such that $P$ is equidistant from the points $A(10,-10)$ and $O(

lidiya [134]

Answer:

P=(3,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find a point P in the line $y=-x+6$ such that $PA=P0$ where $A=(10,-10)$

Observe that the coordinates of P are $(x,y)=(x,-x+6)$ because P is in the line.

Then,

$PA=P0\\(x,-x+6)(10,-10)=(x,-x+6)(0,0)\\10x+(-x+6)(-10)=0\\10x+10x-60=0\\20x=60\\x=3$

We reeplace the value of x in the coordinates of P and obtain the point

$(3,-3+6)=(3,3)=P$

Rachael got a 550 on the analytical portion of the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). If GRE scores are normally distributed and have m

valina [46]

Answer:

Z=-2

This value means that the score of Rachel 550 it's 2 deviations below the mean of the population $\mu=600$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

$\mu=600$ represent the population mean for the Graduate Record Exam (GRE)

$\sigma=25$ represent the population standard deviation for Graduate Record Exam (GRE)

2) Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(600,25)$
