Answer:

No answer is possible

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can identify what the parabola looks like.

A parabola of form ax²+bx+c opens upward if a > 0 and downward if a < 0. The a is what the x² is multiplied by, and in this case, it is positive 2. Therefore, this parabola opens upward.

Next, the vertex of a parabola is equal to -b/(2a). Here, b (what x is multiplied by) is 1 and a =2, so -b/(2a) = -1/4 = -0.25.

This means that the parabola opens upward, and is going down until it reaches the vertex of x=-0.25 and up after that point. Graphing the function confirms this.

Given these, we can then solve for when the endpoints of the interval are reached and go from there.

The first endpoint in -2 ≤ f(x) ≤ 16 is f(x) = 2. Therefore, we can solve for f(x)=-2 by saying

2x²+x-4 = -2

add 2 to both sides to put everything on one side into a quadratic formula

2x²+x-2 = 0

To factor this, we first can identify, in ax²+bx+c, that a=2, b=1, and c=-2. We must find two values that add up to b=1 and multiply to c*a = -2  * 2 = -4. As (2,-2), (4,-1), and (-1,4) are the only integer values that multiply to -4, this will not work. We must apply the quadratic formula, so

x= (-b ± √(b²-4ac))/(2a)

x = (-1 ± √(1-(-4*2*2)))/(2*2)

= (-1 ± √(1+16))/4

= (-1 ± √17) / 4

when f(x) = -2

Next, we can solve for when f(x) = 16

2x²+x-4 = 16

subtract 16 from both sides to make this a quadratic equation

2x²+x-20 = 0

To factor, we must find two values that multiply to -40 and add up to 1. Nothing seems to work here in terms of whole numbers, so we can apply the quadratic formula, so

x = (-1 ± √(1-(-20*2*4)))/(2*2)

= (-1 ± √(1+160))/4

= (-1 ± √161)/4

Our two values of f(x) = -2 are (-1 ± √17) / 4 and our two values of f(x) = 16 are (-1 ± √161)/4 . Our vertex is at x=-0.25, so all values less than that are going down and all values greater than that are going up. We can notice that

(-1 - √17)/4 ≈ -1.3 and (-1-√161)/4 ≈ -3.4 are less than that value, while (-1+√17)/4 ≈ 0.8 and (-1+√161)/4 ≈ 2.9 are greater than that value. This means that when −2 ≤ f(x) ≤ 16 , we have two ranges -- from -3.4 to -1.3 and from 0.8 to 2.9 . Between -1.3 and 0.8, the function goes down then up, with all values less than f(x)=-2. Below -3.4 and above 2.9, all values are greater than f(x) = 16. One thing we can notice is that both ranges have a difference of approximately 2.1 between its high and low x values. The question asks for a value of a where a ≤ x ≤ a+3. As the difference between the high and low values are only 2.1, it would be impossible to have a range of greater than that.

In Problems 1-8, determine the level of measurement of each variable.
lbvjy [14]

The level of measurement of each given variable are:

1. Ordinal

2. Nominal

3. Ratio

4. Interval

5. Ordinal

6. Nominal

7. Ratio

8. Interval

Level of measurement is used in assigning measurement to variables depending on their attributes.

There are basically four (4) levels of measurement (see image in the attachment):

1. <u>Nominal:</u> Here, values are assigned to variables just for naming and identification sake. It is also used for categorization.

  • Examples of variables that fall under the measurement are: Favorite movie, Eye Color.

<u>2. Ordinal:</u> This level of measurement show difference between variables and the direction of the difference. In order words, it shows magnitude or rank among variables.

  • Examples of such variables that fall under this are: highest degree conferred, birth order among siblings in a family.

<u>3. Interval Scale:</u> this third level of measurement shows magnitude, a known equal difference between variables can be ascertain. However, this type of measurement has <em>no true zero</em> point.

  • Examples of the variables that fall here include: Monthly temperatures, year of birth of college students

4. Ratio Scale: This scale of measurement has a "true zero". It also has every property of the interval scale.

  • Examples are: ages of children, volume of water used.

Therefore, the level of measurement of each given variable are:

1. Ordinal

2. Nominal

3. Ratio

4. Interval

5. Ordinal

6. Nominal

7. Ratio

8. Interval

Parking spaces at a business school are arranged by a random monthly lottery. there are 3 spaces for every 10 students who want
Alexus [3.1K]

27.034%  
Let's define the function P(x) for the probability of getting a parking space exactly x times over a 9 month period. it would be: 
P(x) = (0.3^x)(0.7^(9-x))*9!/(x!(9-x)!)  
Let me explain the above. The raising of (0.3^x)(0.7^(9-x)) is the probability of getting exactly x successes and 9-x failures. Then we shuffle them in the 9! possible arrangements. But since we can't tell the differences between successes, we divide by the x! different ways of arranging the successes. And since we can't distinguish between the different failures, we divide by the (9-x)! different ways of arranging those failures as well. So P(4) = 0.171532242 meaning that there's a 17.153% chance of getting a parking space exactly 4 times. 
Now all we need to do is calculate the sum of P(x) for x ranging from 4 to 9.

So
 P(4) = 0.171532242
 P(5) = 0.073513818
 P(6) = 0.021003948
 P(7) = 0.003857868
 P(8) = 0.000413343
 P(9) = 0.000019683
  And
 0.171532242 + 0.073513818 + 0.021003948 + 0.003857868 + 0.000413343
+ 0.000019683 = 0.270340902 
 So the probability of getting a parking space at least four out of the nine months is 27.034%
