Answer: x² + 4x - 32

Step-by-step explanation: So to multiply these two binomials together, let's use the F.O.I.L. method.

Remember, F.O.I.L. stands for First, Outter, Inner, Last.

This is because we start with the product of the first terms which is x², then we add the product of the outer terms which is 8x, then we add the middle terms which is -4x, and then we add the product of the last terms which is -32.

So we have x² + 8x + -4x + -32.

Combining the like terms 8x + -4x, our final answer is x² + 4x - 32.

Life Expectancies In a study of the life expectancy of people in a certain geographic region, the mean age at death was years an

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The probability that the mean life expectancy of the sample is less than X years is the p-value of $Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ , in which $\mu$ is the mean life expectancy, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes 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.

We have:

Mean $\mu$ , standard deviation $\sigma$ .

Sample of size n:

This means that the z-score is now, by the Central Limit Theorem:

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

Find the probability that the mean life expectancy will be less than years.

Use the parabola tool to graph the quadratic function y=-1? - 2.0 +8

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't have graphing facilities but can give you the vertex and 1 other point.

Given a parabola in standard form

y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 )

Then the x- coordinate of the vertex is

x = - $\frac{b}{2a}$

y = - x² - 2x + 8 ← is in standard form

with a = - 1 and b = - 2 , then

x = - $\frac{-2}{-2}$ = - 1

Substitute x = - 1 into the equation for corresponding value of y

y = - (- 1)² - 2(- 1) + 8 = - 1 + 2 + 8 = 9

vertex = (- 1, 9 )

To obtain another point substitute any value for x into the equation

x = 0 : y = 0 - 0 + 8 , then (0, 8 ) is a point on the graph

x = 2 : y = - (2)² - 2(2) + 8 = - 4 - 4 + 8 = 0 then (2, 0 ) is a point on the graph
