F(x) = x^2 - 3x - 8
f(-2) = (-2)^2 - 3 (-2) - 8
f(-2) = 4 - 3 (-2) - 8
f(-2) = 4 + 6 - 8
f(-2) = 10 - 8
f(-2) = 2 ✅

Step-by-step explanation:

The first box's answer is 5.

I think the second box's answer is 50 % because 5 divided by 10 is 0.5 which equals 50 %.

I hope this helps :)

Answer:

0.6064 = 60.64% probability that fewer than 29 are left-handed.

Step-by-step explanation:

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 distributions 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 $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
