- $\frac{17}{3}$

note that 8 + $\frac{1}{2}$ = 8 $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{17}{2}$

then multiplying the values gives

- $\frac{2}{3}$ × $\frac{17}{2}$ ( cancelling the 2' s )

= - $\frac{17}{3}$ = - 5 $\frac{2}{3}$

Whats the vertex of a parabola? Round to the nearest hundredth.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

To get the x-intercept we need the equation of the parabola;

the vertex form of the equation is given by:

y=a(x-h)^2+k

where:

(2,13) is the vertex:

Therefore;

y=a(x-2)^2+13

when x=0, y=5

Therefore the value of a will be:

5=a(0-2)^2+13

5-13=4a

4a=-8

a=-2

therefore the equation of the parabola will be:

y=-2(x-2)^2+13

y=-2x^2+8x+5

the x-intercept will be:

x=2-sqrt(7.5)

x=2+sqrt(7.5)

Assume the random variable X is normally distributed with mean mu equals 50 and standard deviation sigma equals 7. Compute the p

drek231 [11]

Answer:

The probability that X is less than 42 is 0.1271.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X follows a Normal distribution.

The mean and standard deviation are:

E (X) = μ = 50.

SD (X) = σ = 7.

A normal distribution is continuous probability distribution.

The Normal probability distribution with mean µ and standard deviation σ is given by,

$f_{X}(\mu, \sigma)=\frac{1}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-(x-\mu)^{2}/2\sigma^{2}};\ -\infty$

To compute the probability of a Normal random variable we first standardize the raw score.

The raw scores are standardized using the formula:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

These standardized scores are known as z-scores and they follow normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.

Compute the probability of (X < 42) as follows:

$P(X$

*Use a z-table for the probability.

Thus, the probability that X is less than 42 is 0.1271.

The normal curve is shown below.

A mother is three times as old as her daughter, and the sum of their ages

garri49 [273]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If m = Mother's age and d = daughter's age, we can make the following equations

m = 3d

m + d = 44

Now, using substitution, we can substitute m for 3d in the second equation:

3d + d = 44, 4d = 44, d = 11

Then, we can plug d into the first equation: m = 3(11) = 33
