During the summer months, the prices of nonsmoking rooms with a king-sized bed in hotels in a certain area are roughly normally

distributed with a mean of $131.80 and a standard deviation of $29.12. a travel agent randomly selects prices of nonsmoking rooms with a king-sized bed from 15 hotels in the area. what is the probability that their average cost will be more than $150

<span>Population mean (u) = $131.80 Standard deviation (sd) = $29.12 Sample number (n) = 15 Sample mean = $150 Using Z score formula.. Z = (150 - 131.80)/ (29.12)/15^1/2 Z = 2.420 Area under the curve (alpha) with Z = 2.420 = 49.22 In percentage Alpha = 0.4922 Probability = 1-Alpha Probability = 1- 0.4922 = 0.5078</span>

Factor the quadratic expression in the equation y=2x^2+28x+96 and use the factors to find the zeros of the equation. Then, use t
gavmur [86]

Answer:

x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation y=2x^2+28x+96. We are asked to find the zeros of equation by factoring and then find the line of symmetry of the parabola.

Let us factor our given equation as:

2x^2+28x+96=0

Dividing both sides by 2:

x^2+14x+48=0

Splitting the middle term:

x^2+6x+8x+48=0

(x^2+6x)+(8x+48)=0

x(x+6)+8(x+6)=0

(x+8)(x+6)=0

Using zero product property:

(x+8)=0\text{ (or) }(x+6)=0

x+8=0\text{ (or) }x+6=0

x=-8\text{ (or) }x=-6

Therefore, the zeros of the given equation are x=-8\text{ (or) }x=-6.

We know that the line of symmetry of a parabola is equal to the x-coordinate of vertex of parabola.

We also know that x-coordinate of vertex of parabola is equal to the average of zeros. So x-coordinate of vertex of parabola would be:

\frac{-8+(-6)}{2}=\frac{-14}{2}=-7

Therefore, the equation x=-7 represents the line of symmetry of the given parabola.

To find this, first we subtract the extra 3 feet from the original 27 feet.
27-3=24
Then, we divide the left over length by three. This will provide us with the length for the shorter piece.
24/3=8
The shorter piece will be 8 feet long.
Now, we double that to find the longer piece without the additional 3 feet.
8x2=16
And we add those two (8 and 16) together to make sure it is equal to the 24 we divided into 3 earlier.
16+8=24
Now all that's left is to add the extra 3 feet to the 16 feet.
16+3=19
And add that to the 8 feet, to check to make sure the lengths add up to our original 27 feet.
19+8=27
Therefore, the two pieces are the following lengths:
Shorter piece: 8 feet
Longer piece: 19 feet

50 = 3x + 2

50 - 2 = 3x

48 = 3x

48/3 = 3x/3

16 = x


Jack has 16 friends.
