Answer:

log_3(2x+15)=2 and log_4(-20x+4)=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug it in and see!

$log_3(2x+15)=2\\log_3(2(-3)+15)=2\\log_3(-6+15)=2\\log_3(9)=2\\\text{ This is a true equation because } 3^2=9\\\\\\log_5(8(-3)+9)=2\\log_5(-24+9)=2\\log_5(-15)=2\\\\\text{ Not true because you cannot do log of a negative number }\\\\log_4(-20(-3)+4)=3\\log_4(64)=3\\\text{ this is true because } 4^3=64\\\\\\log_x (81)=4\\log_{-3}(81)=4\\\text{ the base cannot be negative }\\\\\\\\\text{ There is only two options here} \\\\log_3(2x+15)=2 \text{ and } log_4(-20x+4)=3$

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

0.9452 = 94.52% probability that their mean length is less than 16.8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
