Answer:

<em>First option 5%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Normal Distribution</u>

Gauss Distribution is one of the most widely-used continuous probability distribution to characterize random events. The curve of the function is called the bell curve.  

The standard Normal Distribution is a special case where the mean \mu=0 and the standard deviation \sigma=1. The values of the cumulative normal distribution cannot be computed by simple calculations, we must use tables of digital implementations integrated with tools like Excel or any online resource.

The entry for standard normal distribution is a parameter called the z-score, computed like shown below

\displaystyle z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

The values provided in our problem are

X=14,\ \mu=16,\ \sigma=1.2

Computing z results

\displaystyle z=\frac{14-16}{1.2}=-1.667

By using any of the aforementioned resources, we compute the left-tail probability

P(z=-1.667)=0.048\approx 5\%

We choose the first option 5%

3 octagons 4 Pentagons 2 trapezoids how many sides are on the shapes altogether
klio [65]

Answer:

52 Sides

Step-by-step explanation:

Octagons have 8 sides so 3 x 8 = 24

Pentagons have 5 sides so 4 x 5 = 20

Trapezoids have 4 sides so 2 x 4 = 8

Add it all up and it equals 52 sides in total

What is the first step when rewriting y = 3x2 9x – 18 in the form y = a(x – h)2 k?
stiks02 [169]
A quadratic equation has the general form of: <span>

y=ax² + bx + c

It can be converted to the vertex form in order to determine the vertex of the parabola. It has the standard form of:

y = a(x+h)² - k

This can be done by completing a square. The steps are as follows:

</span><span>y = 3x2 + 9x – 18
</span>y = 3(x2 <span>+ 3x) – 18
</span>y + 27/4= 3(x2 <span>+ 3x+ 9/4) – 18 
</span>y = 3(x2 + 3/2)^2 – 99<span>/4
</span>
Therefore, the first step is to group terms with the variable x and factoring out the coefficient of x^2.
