6 =2(x+8)-5x
6 =2x+16-5x
6-16=2x-5x
-10=-3x
10=3x
x=10/3
hence proved

A data set has a mean of 150 and standard deviation of 13. The unusual values are those that are less than

zhuklara [117]

Using z-scores, it is found that the unusual values are those that are less than 124.

---------------------------

The z-score of a measure X in a data-set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ is given by:

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

The z-score measures how many standard deviations X is from the mean.
Measures that are<u> more than 2 standard deviations from the mean</u> are unusual.
Z < -2 means that the measure X is unusually low.
Z > 2 means that the measure X is unusually high.

In this problem:

Mean of 150, thus $\mu = 150$ .
Standard deviation of 13, thus $\sigma = 13$ .

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

$-2 = \frac{X - 150}{13}$

$X - 150 = -2(13)$

$X = 124$

Unusual values are those that are less than 124.

solve for the polynomial equation by factoring, then using the zero product principle. This is just the example problem Please e

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

-3 comes from combining 1 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The -3 under the radical is the result of combining the terms

16 -4(16) = 16(1 -4) = 16(-3) = -3(16)

16 is factored out. It is done this way because 16 is a perfect square factor, so wants to maintain that identity while you figure out the rest of the radical.

$=\dfrac{-4\pm\sqrt{16-4(16)}}{2}=\dfrac{-4\pm\sqrt{16(1-4)}}{2}=\dfrac{-4\pm\sqrt{-3(16)}}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{-4\pm\sqrt{-3(4^2)}}{2}=\dfrac{-4\pm 4\sqrt{-3}}{2}=-2\pm2\sqrt{-3}=-2\pm2i\sqrt{3}$
