Problem: (5x^4 – 3x^3 + 6x) – (3x^3 + 11x^2 – 8x) Answer: 5x^4-6x^3 -11x^2 +14x

1 answer:

8 0

Combine the like terms by adding the coefficients,
->5x^4 can't add anything so leave it there,
->-3x^3 can add -3x^3 which gives you -6x^3,
->We can't do anything with -11x^2 so leave it there as well,
->6x add to -(-8x) gives you 14x,
You will get for your final answer is 5x^4-6x^3-11x^2+14x.

I am going to use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

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.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
