The number of those who attended the picnic was 8.

Quadratic equations are the polynomial equations of degree 2 in one variable of type f(x) = ax^{2} + bx + c = 0 where a, b, c, ∈ R and a ≠ 0.

Such questions are best examples of quadratic equations where  the unknown is simply assumed to be a variable which when substituted according to the conditions yield a quadratic equation which can easily be solved.

Let x represent the whole population.

Total Spending = Rs. 96

Thus, each individual's contribution is equal to 96/x.

Four people did not show up causing

others to contribute Rs. 4 extra.

So the given condition can be written as

96/(x-4) – 96/x = 4

=>96x – 96(x-4) = 4x(x-4)

=> 96x -96x + 384 = 4x2 – 16x

=> 4x2 – 16x – 384 = 0

=> x2 – 4x – 96 = 0

=> (x – 12)(x + 8) = 0

=> x = 12 or x = -8 (neglect)

So x = 12

x-4 = 8  ( because  four of them did not turn up)

∴ The number of those who attended the picnic was 8.

If an experimenter sets equal to .01, then she is defining a "statistically rare" event as an event occurring more than one time
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The correct answer is an event occurring one or fewer times in 100 times if the null hypothesis is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a statistically rare event, its probability is relatively small and the event is very unlikely to occur.  Therefore, if an experimental sets equal to 0.01 which is statistically rare, then we can interpret this mathematically as:

p(event) = 0.01 = 1/100

where p(event) is the probability of the event.

In addition, statistically, null hypothesis signifies no major difference between the specified parameters, and any obvious difference that might occur as a result of experimental error. Thus, it can be concluded that the event is occurring one or fewer times in 100 times if the null hypothesis is true.

What is the standard form of this equation of a circle?
Olenka [21]
<span>x² + y² + 14x − 4y − 28 = 0

x² +14x +y² - 4y =28
x²+2*7x  +7² -7²  + y² - 2*2y +2² - 2² = 28
(x+7)² + (y-2)² -7²-2² =28
</span>(x+7)² + (y-2)²=28+49+4

(x+7)² + (y-2)² =81 is the answer.
