The distribution of the number of occurrences of the letter t on the pages of a book is found to be a normal distribution with a mean of 44 and a standard deviation of 18. If there are 500 pages in the book, which sentence most closely summarizes the data?

A. The letter t occurs less than 26 times on approximately 170 of these pages. 

B. The letter t occurs less than 26 times on approximately 15 of these pages. 

C. The letter t occurs more than 26 times on approximately 420 of these pages. 

D. The letter t occurs more than 26 times on approximately 80 of these pages.

.Answer: 
<span>mean = 44 </span>
<span>sd = 18 </span>
<span>that means that "26" is 1 s.d. down, or at the 16th %ile </span>


<span>so, there is a .16 chance that "t" will occur less than 26 times on any single page. </span>
<span>consequently, there is a .84 chance that it will occur more than 26 times on any single page. </span>

<span>Using that information, and knowing that 16% of 500 is 80, and 84% of 500 is 420, can you see where "C" is correct? </span>

Pre-Calc: Find all the zeros of the function.
uysha [10]

The zeros of the polynomial function are y = 4/5, y = -4/5 and y = ±4/5√i and the polynomial as a product of the linear factors is f(y) = (5y - 4)(5y + 4)(25y^2 + 16)

<h3>What are polynomial expressions?</h3>

Polynomial expressions are mathematical statements that are represented by variables, coefficients and operators

<h3>How to determine the zeros of the polynomial?</h3>

The polynomial equation is given as

f(y) = 625y^4 - 256

Express the terms as an exponent of 4

So, we have

f(y) = (5y)^4 - 4^4

Express the terms as an exponent of 2

So, we have

f(y) = (25y^2)^2 - 16^2

Apply the difference of two squares

So, we have

f(y) = (25y^2 - 16)(25y^2 + 16)

Apply the difference of two squares

So, we have

f(y) = (5y - 4)(5y + 4)(25y^2 + 16)

Set the equation to 0

So, we have

(5y - 4)(5y + 4)(25y^2 + 16) = 0

Expand the equation

So, we have

5y - 4 = 0, 5y + 4 = 0 and 25y^2 + 16 = 0

This gives

5y = 4, 5y = -4 and 25y^2 = -16

Solve the factors of the equation

So, we have

y = 4/5, y = -4/5 and y = ±4/5√i

Hence, the zeros of the polynomial function are y = 4/5, y = -4/5 and y = ±4/5√i

How to write the polynomial as a product of the linear factors?

In (a), we have

The polynomial equation is given as

f(y) = 625y^4 - 256

Express the terms as an exponent of 4

So, we have

f(y) = (5y)^4 - 4^4

Express the terms as an exponent of 2

So, we have

f(y) = (25y^2)^2 - 16^2

Apply the difference of two squares

So, we have

f(y) = (25y^2 - 16)(25y^2 + 16)

Apply the difference of two squares

So, we have

f(y) = (5y - 4)(5y + 4)(25y^2 + 16)

Hence, the polynomial as a product of the linear factors is f(y) = (5y - 4)(5y + 4)(25y^2 + 16)
