Answer:

Tuesday z-score was 3.26.

Tuesday was a significantly good day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

A score is said to be significantly high if it has a z-score higher than 1.64, that is, it is at least in the 95th percentile.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 28372.72, \sigma = 2000

On​ Tuesday, the store sold​ $34,885.21 worth of goods. Find​ Tuesday's ​z-score.

This is Z when X = 34885.21

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

Z = \frac{34885.21 - 28372.72}{2000}

Z = 3.26

Tuesday z-score was 3.26.

Was Tuesday a significantly good​ day?

A z-score of 3.26 has a pvalue of 0.9994. So only 1-0.9994 = 0.0006 = 0.06% of the day are better than Tuesday.

So yes, Tuesday was a significantly good day.

Answer:

1/20

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 = 0.25

0.25 / 5 = 0.05

0.05 as a fraction = 5/100

simplified

5 / 5 = 1

100 / 5 = 20

1/20

Explain the connection between factors of a polynomial, zeros of a polynomial function, and solutions of a polynomial equation.
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solutions, zeros, and roots of a polynomial are all the same exact thing and can be used interchangeably.  When you factor a polynomial, you solve for x which are the solutions of the polynomial.  Since, when you factor a polynomial, you do so by setting the polynomial equal to 0, by definition of x-intercept, you are finding the zeros (don't forget that x-intercepts exist where y is equal to 0). There's the correlation between zeros and solutions.  

Since factoring and distributing "undo" each other (or are opposites), if you factor to find the zeros, you can distribute them back out to get back to the polynomial you started with.  Each zero or solution is the x value when y = 0.  For example, if a solution to a polynomial is x = 3, since that is a zero of the polynomial, we can set that statement equal to 0: x - 3 = 0.  What we have then is a binomial factor of the polynomial in the form (x - 3).  These binomial factors found from the solutions/zeros of the polynomial FOIL out to give you back the polynomial equation.
