ANSWER EXPLANATION: There are two ways to solve this question. The faster way is to multiply each side of the given equation by ax−2 (so you can get rid of the fraction). When you multiply each side by ax−2, you should have:

24x2+25x−47=(−8x−3)(ax−2)−53

You should then multiply (−8x−3) and (ax−2) using FOIL.

24x2+25x−47=−8ax2−3ax+16x+6−53

Then, reduce on the right side of the equation

24x2+25x−47=−8ax2−3ax+16x−47

Since the coefficients of the x2-term have to be equal on both sides of the equation, −8a=24, or a=−3.

The other option which is longer and more tedious is to attempt to plug in all of the answer choices for a and see which answer choice makes both sides of the equation equal.

The answer is B

Suppose that grade point averages of undergraduate students at one university have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 2.5
masya89 [10]

Answer:

z= \frac{3.44-2.54}{0.45}=2

P(X>3.44) = P(Z>2) = 0.025

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the grade points avergae of a population, and for this case we know the following properties

Where \mu=2.54 and \sigma=0.45

The empirical rule, also referred to as the three-sigma rule or 68-95-99.7 rule, is a statistical rule which states that for a normal distribution, almost all data falls within three standard deviations (denoted by σ) of the mean (denoted by µ). Broken down, the empirical rule shows that 68% falls within the first standard deviation (µ ± σ), 95% within the first two standard deviations (µ ± 2σ), and 99.7% within the first three standard deviations (µ ± 3σ).

So we can find the z score for the value of X=3.44 in order to see how many deviations above or belowe we are from the mean like this:

z= \frac{3.44-2.54}{0.45}=2

So the value of 3.44 is 2 deviations above from the mean, so then we know that the percentage between two deviations from the mean is 95% and on each tail we need to have (100-95)/2 = 2.5% , because the distribution is symmetrical, so based on this we can conclude that:

P(X>3.44) = P(Z>2) = 0.025

Given m∠JML = 80 and m∠KML = 33, what is m∠JMK
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

<h2>47°</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given m∠JML = 80 and m∠KML = 33, to calculate the value of angle m∠JMK, we will apply the formula since all the angles are all acting at point M.

m∠JML = m∠JMK+m∠KML

Substituting the values given into the equation;

80 = m∠JMK + 33

subtract 33 from both sides of the equation

m∠JMK = 80-33

m∠JMK = 47°

<em>Hence the value of angle m∠JMK is 47°</em>
