Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Completing the square is a process of converting a quadratic equation in standard form into vertex form.
The first step in completing the square is grouping the quadratic and linear terms of the quadratic equation.
Factor out the coefficient of the quadratic term,
Now complete the square, add a term to make the grouped part of the equation a complete square, then balance the equation.
Simplify,
The x-coordinate of the vertex of the equation is equal to (-1) times the numerical part of the quadratic term, and the y-coordinate is equal to the constant.
25.8%
First, determine how many standard deviations from the norm that 3 tons are. So:
(3 - 2.43) / 0.88 = 0.57/0.88 = 0.647727273
So 3 tons would be 0.647727273 deviations from the norm. Now using a standard normal table, lookup the value 0.65 (the table I'm using has z-values to only 2 decimal places, so I rounded the z-value I got from 0.647727273 to 0.65). The value I got is 0.24215. Now this value is the probability of getting a value between the mean and the z-score. What I want is the probability of getting that z-score and anything higher. So subtract the value from 0.5, so 0.5 - 0.24215 = 0.25785 = 25.785%
So the probability that more than 3 tons will be dumped in a week is 25.8%
