Answer:

(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 2x - 24

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 24) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 2)

The factors are + 6 and - 4, since

6 × - 4 = - 24 and 6 - 4 = + 2, thus

x² + 2x - 24 = (x + 6)(x - 4) ← in factored form

Thus the other factor is (x - 4)

The area of the given square pyramid is:

total area = 1,100 inches squared.

<h3 /><h3>How to get the area of the pyramid?</h3>

On the second image, we can see that the pyramid is conformed of a square base and 3 triangles.

To get the surface area of the pyramid, we can just get the area of each of these simpler parts.

The base is a square of 22 in by 22 in, then the area of the base is:

B = (22in)*(22 in) = 484 in^2

For each triangle, the area will be:

A = (base side)*(height)/2

A = (22in)*(14in)/2 = 154 in^2

And we have 4 of these triangles, then the total area of the pyramid will be:

total area = B + 4*A = 484in^2 + 4*(154 in^2) = 1,100 in^2

Assume that females have pulse rates that are normally distributed with a mean of μ=73.0 beats per minute and a standard deviati

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

a. the probability that her pulse rate is less than 76 beats per minute is 0.5948

b. If 25 adult females are randomly selected, the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean less than 76 beats per minute is 0.8849

c. D. Since the original population has a normal distribution, the distribution of sample means is a normal distribution for any sample size.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean μ =73.0

Standard deviation σ =12.5

a. If 1 adult female is randomly selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is less than 76 beats per minute.

Let X represent the random variable that is normally distributed with a mean of 73.0 beats per minute and a standard deviation of 12.5 beats per minute.

Then : X $\sim$ N ( μ = 73.0 , σ = 12.5)

The probability that her pulse rate is less than 76 beats per minute can be computed as:

$P(X < 76) = P(\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}< \dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma})$

$P(X < 76) = P(\dfrac{76-\mu}{\sigma}< \dfrac{76-73}{12.5})$

$P(X < 76) = P(Z< \dfrac{3}{12.5})$

$P(X < 76) = P(Z< 0.24)$

From the standard normal distribution tables,

$P(X < 76) = 0.5948$

Therefore , the probability that her pulse rate is less than 76 beats per minute is 0.5948

b. If 25 adult females are randomly selected, find the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean less than 76 beats per minute.

now; we have a sample size n = 25

The probability can now be calculated as follows:

$P(\overline X < 76) = P(\dfrac{\overline X-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}< \dfrac{ \overline X-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}})$

$P( \overline X < 76) = P(\dfrac{76-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}< \dfrac{76-73}{\dfrac{12.5}{\sqrt{25}}})$

$P( \overline X < 76) = P(Z< \dfrac{3}{\dfrac{12.5}{5}})$

$P( \overline X < 76) = P(Z< 1.2)$

From the standard normal distribution tables,

$P(\overline X < 76) = 0.8849$

c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part (b), even though the sample size does not exceed 30?

In order to determine the probability in part (b); the normal distribution is perfect to be used here even when the sample size does not exceed 30.

Therefore option D is correct.

Since the original population has a normal distribution, the distribution of sample means is a normal distribution for any sample size.
