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%

Factorize that x^4+4y^4​
ipn [44]

Answer:

  • (x² + 2y² + 2xy)(x² + 2y² - 2xy)

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given binomial:</h3>

x⁴ + 4y⁴

In order to factorize it, follow the steps:

<h3>Complete the square:</h3>

  • x⁴ + 4y⁴ =
  • (x²)² + 2*(x²)*(2y²) + (2y²)² - 2*(x²)*(2y²) =
  • (x² + 2y²)² - (2xy)² =
  • (x² + 2y² + 2xy)(x² + 2y² - 2xy)

Used identities:

  • (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
  • a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)

How to solve the problem 3.2d-4d=2.3d+3
Liula [17]
3.2d - 4d = 2.3d + 3...simplify by combining like terms
-0.8d = 2.3d + 3....subtract 2.3d from both sides
-0.8d - 2.3d = 3 ...simplify again
-3.1d = 3...divide both sides by -3.1
d = 3/ -3.1
d = - 0.97

or
3.2d - 4d = 2.3d + 3....multiply the equation by 10, gets rid of the decimals
32d - 40d = 23d + 30....subtract 23d from both sides
32d - 40d - 23d = 30....simplify
-31d = 30...divide by -31
d = -30/31
d = - 0.97

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anton [14]

Answer:

<h2>1. subtract 3x, subtract 4, divide by -4</h2><h2 /><h2>2. add x</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

1 + 3x = -x + 4.

subtract 3x

1 = -4x + 4

subtract 4

-3 = -4x

divide by -4

(-3)/(-4) = (4x)/(-4)  ⇌ x = 3/4

-x + 6 = 5 - 3x

subtract 5

-x + 1 = - 3x

add x

1 = -2x
