Answer:

D. -3 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

-12 = -3 x 4

-3 + 4 = 1

x^2 + x - 12

= (x - 3)(x + 4)

ANSWER

D. -3 and 4

EXPLANATION

The given quadratic trinomial is

${x}^{2} + x - 12$

To factor this we need to find two factors of -12 that sum up to 1, the coefficient of x.

We can see from the table that, when p=-3 and q=4, then p+q =1.

The trinomial can now be factored as:

${x}^{2} + x - 12 = (x - 3)(x + 4)$

The correct answer is D.

In 2014, the CDC estimated that the mean height for adult women in the U.S. was 64 inches with a standard deviation of 4 inches.

Answer:

A. 16%

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.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 64, \sigma = 4$
