Which describes the solution set of (5x –1)(x + 2) = 8x – 4?

1 answer:

5 0

(5x-1)(x+2)=8x-4
5x²+10x-x-2=8x-4
5x²+9x-2=8x-4
5x²+x+2=0
use the quadratic formula, b²-4ac=1²-4*5*2=1-40=-39, -39 cannot be square rooted, so the equation has no real solution.

Over the past decade, the mean number of hacking attacks experienced by members of the Information Systems Security Association

fredd [130]

Answer:

$P(X>600)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{600-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{600-510}{14.28})=P(z>6.302)$

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard distribution and we got:

$P(z>6.302)=1-P(z$

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 number of attacks of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(510,14.28)$
