Answer:

Mean(m) = 462,536

sd = 29,268.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following:

P(sales > 470,000) = 40% = 0.4

P(sales > 500,000) = 10% = 0.1

Using the z - table, we can locate the corresponding P values

Z = 1 - p = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6; 1 - 0.1 = 0.9

Locating the closest value to 0.6 on the z table ;

(0.25 + 0.26) / 2 = 0.255

Locating the closest value to 0.9 on the z table ;

Z = 1.28

Recall;

z =( x - m) / sd

Where m = mean ; sd = standard deviation

First condition:

0.255 = (470,000 - m) / sd

0.255 × sd = (470,000 - m) - - - - - (1)

1.28 = (500,000 - m) / sd

1.28 × sd = (500,000 - m) - - - - (2)

We can solve for one of the unknowns y subtracting equation (1) FROM 2

1.28sd - 0.255sd = (500,000 - m) - (470000 - m)

1.025sd =500,000 - m - 470000 + m

1.025sd = 30,000

sd = 29,268.29

Substituting the value od SD into (1) or (2)

1.28 × 29,268.29 = 500000 - m

37463.41 = 50000 - m

m = 50000 - 37463.41

Mean(m) = 462,536

Answer:

f(-x)= -f(x) so, the given function f(x)= x^3-2x is Odd

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to determine if the function f(x)= x^3-2x is Even, Odd, or Neither.

Determining if a function f(x) is even or not we put x=-x and check

If f(-x)=f(x) the function is even

if f(-x)= -f(x) the function is odd

So, Putting x =-x and determining if the given function f(x)= x^3-2x is Even, Odd, or Neither.

f(x)= x^3-2x\\Put \ x=-x\\f(-x)=(-x)^3-2(-x)\\f(-x)=-x^3+2x\\f(-x)=-(x^3-2x)\\f(-x)=-f(x)

As f(-x)= -f(x) so, the given function f(x)= x^3-2x is Odd

ladessa [460]

Answer:

0 or 6x+4=6x+4  (Technically no slope at all!!)

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to do distributive property and then solve for x!!

meaning the 2(3x+2) has to get distributive property process.

6x+4=6x+4

That shall be equal together!!! (You could stop here!!)


If continue:

6x-6x=4-4
