Factor quadratic trinomials 27x^2-90x+27

1 answer:

8 0

27x^2-81x-9x+27 In this case, just in your mind multiply 27 (coefficient of x^2) by the constant value 27(the end value of the quadratic trinomial). Then find factors that give you the value -90 when you add and 729 (27*27) when you multiply.

Factorise the values
27x( x-3)-9(x-3)

Which will give you

(27x-9)(x-3)

A certain shampoo is available in two sizes. A 23.7-ounce bottle costs $4.97 . A 33.8 -ounce bottle costs $7.48 . Find the unit

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

23.7 ounce = 20 cents per ounce

33.8 ounce = 22 cents per ounce

The 23.7 ounce bottle is a better deal because it is only 20 cents per ounce, rather than 22 cents per ounce.

Suppose 41%41% of American singers are Grammy award winners. If a random sample of size 860860 is selected, what is the probabil

Doss [256]

Answer:

99.72% probability that the proportion of Grammy award winners will differ from the singers proportion by less than 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use 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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$
