Answer:
(a) 35 heads correspond to -3 on the standard scale.
(b) z = 2.4 corresponds to 62 heads on the number of heads scale.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) If we flip a fair coin once, probability of getting head = 0.5
If we flip a fair coin 100 times, mean number of heads = 100(0.5) = 50
If there are N draws with a P probability of success, the standard deviation (SD) is given as:
Here, the probability of getting a head (P) is 0.5 while the number of draws (N) is 100. So,
SD = 5
The standard scale value is: (35 - 50) / 5 = -3
Hence, 35 heads correspond to -3 on the standard scale.
(b) The standard scale value is 2.4 and we need to find the number of heads.
(X - 50) / 5 = 2.4
X - 50 = 12
X = 62
Hence, z = 2.4 on the standard scale corresponds to 62 on the number of heads scale.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for x means you have to factor. First factor out the GCF of 2 to get:
and now we'll factor using the regular old method of ac and then factoring by grouping. In our polynomial, a = 3, b = 1, c = -6. Therefore, a times c is 3 * -6 which is -18. We need some combinations of the factors of 18 that will add to give us 1, the b term in the middle. The factors of 18 are:
1, 18
2, 9
3, 6 and that's it. Hm...it seems that won't work, so let's throw this into the quadratic formula, going back to the original and a = 6, b = 2 and c = -12:
and
and
and
and
which finally simplifies to
No wonder that didn't factor using the traditional method of factoring! We could have found that out by finding first the value of the discriminant, but oh well!
