What is the probability that the lifetime of a fan exceeds the mean value by more than 3 standard deviations?

1 answer:

8 0

68.2 % of the data is within one σ, either side of the mean
95.4 % of the data is within two σs, either side of the mean
99.7 % of the data is within three σs, either side of the mean
Therefore, 0.3 % of values lie outside the range of value of three σs.
We can say this is representative of the chance that a value (in this case, the lifetime of the fan) will exceed the mean value by more than three σs.

Is (x-1) a factor of 2x3 - 15x2 + 22x + 15

Advocard [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If x - 1 is a factor of the cubic, then 1 should result in 0 when you put it in the cubic for x. Does it?

f(1) = 2(1)^3 - 15(1)^2 + 22(1) + 15

f(1) = 2 - 15 + 22 + 15

f(1)= 24.

No the result is not zero. So x - 1 is not a factor.

However there must be something that makes this cubic go to zero. The easiest way to find it is to graph it.

The numbers that do make this zero are -0.5, 3, 5

Which mean that the factors are (2x+1)(x-3)(x - 5)

6 foot makes 4.5 foot shadow
1 foot makes=4.5/6
so 50 foot =4.5/6*50 = tree makes 37.5 foot shadow
