Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
the product (2x² - 3x - 8)(3x² + 5x + 1) is required
multiply each term in the second factor by each term in the first factor.
= 2x²(3x² + 5x + 1) - 3x(3x² + 5x + 1) - 8(3x² + 5x + 1) ← distribute
= 6 + 10x³ + 2x² - 9x³ - 15x² - 3x - 24x² - 40x - 8
collecting like terms gives
6 + x³ - 37x² - 43x - 8 → B
Answer:
μ = 5.068 oz
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal distribution formula to use the table attached
Z = (x - μ)/σ
where μ is mean, σ is standard deviation, Z is on x-axis and x is a desired point.
98% of 6-oz. cups will not overflow means that the area below the curve is equal to 0.49; note that the curve is symmetrical respect zero, so, 98% of the cases relied between the interval (μ - some value) and (μ + some value)].
From table attached, area = 0.49 when Z = 2.33. From data, σ = 0.4 oz and x = 6 oz (maximum capacity of the cup). Isolating x from the formula gives
Z = (x - μ)/σ
2.33 = (6 - μ)/0.4
μ = 6 - 2.33*0.4
μ = 5.068
This means that with a mean of 5 oz and a standard deviation of 0.4 oz, the machine will discharge a maximum of 6 oz in the 98% of the cases.
