Answer:

(-2, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can complete the square of the equation to get

y+(4/2)^2 = x^2+4x+(4/2)^2

y+4 = x^2 + 4x + 4

y+4 = (x+2)^2

y = (x+2)^2 - 4

This gives the form y = a(x-h)^2 + k where (h, k) is the vertex of the equation. You can also arrive at the same conclusion by making some observations of the equation. (x+2)^2 minimum value is going to be 0 since and negative values resulting from x+2 is going to become positive because of the square. So the minimum value is when x+2 is 0 or when x is equal to -2 and when it's at that minimum value of 0 it's going to have 4 subtracted from it which gives the vertex of (-2, -4)

The cumulative distribution function f(x) of a discrete random variable x is given by f(0) =. 30, f(1) =. 70, f(2) =. 90 and f(3

Correlation between x & y is 0.6125.

In probability theory and statistics, the cumulative distribution function of a real-valued random variable X, or simply the distribution function of X weighted by x, is the probability that X takes a value less than or equal to x.

The cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a random variable X is defined as FX(x)=P(X≤x) for all x∈R. Note that the subscript X indicates that this is the CDF of the random variable X. Also note that the CDF is defined for all x∈R. Let's look at an example.
