Juan and Gloria are comparing the two numbers 354.6 and 354.06. Juan says that 354.06 is equal to 10 x 354.6. Gloria says he is

wrong. Do you agree with Juan or Gloria? Explain your thinking.

I agree with Gloria because Juan’s answer would be 3546.6. If you multiply any number by 10 it is moving to decimal 1 place to the right so as an example 354.06 multiplied by 10 would be 3540.6 because you moved the decimal to the right one number.

Answer: I agree with Gloria because 10 times 354.6 is 3546

In studies for a medication, 3 percent of patients gained weight as a side effect. Suppose 643 patients are randomly selected.

timofeeve [1]

Part a)

It was given that 3% of patients gained weight as a side effect.

This means

$p = 0.03$

$q = 1 - 0.03 = 0.97$

The mean is

$\mu = np$

$\mu = 643 \times 0.03 = 19.29$

The standard deviation is

$\sigma = \sqrt{npq}$

$\sigma = \sqrt{643 \times 0.03 \times 0.97}$

$\sigma =4.33$

We want to find the probability that exactly 24 patients will gain weight as side effect.

P(X=24)

We apply the Continuity Correction Factor(CCF)

P(24-0.5<X<24+0.5)=P(23.5<X<24.5)

We convert to z-scores.

$P(23.5 \: < \: X \: < \: 24.5) = P( \frac{23.5 - 19.29}{4.33} \: < \: z \: < \: \frac{24.5 - 19.29}{4.33} ) \\ = P( 0.97\: < \: z \: < \: 1.20) \\ = 0.051$

Part b) We want to find the probability that 24 or fewer patients will gain weight as a side effect.

P(X≤24)

We apply the continuity correction factor to get;

P(X<24+0.5)=P(X<24.5)

We convert to z-scores to get:

$P(X \: < \: 24.5) = P(z \: < \: \frac{24.5 - 19.29}{4.33} ) \\ = P(z \: < \: 1.20) \\ = 0.8849$

Part c)

We want to find the probability that

11 or more patients will gain weight as a side effect.

P(X≥11)

Apply correction factor to get:

P(X>11-0.5)=P(X>10.5)

We convert to z-scores:

$P(X \: > \: 10.5) = P(z \: > \: \frac{10.5 - 19.29}{4.33} ) \\ = P(z \: > \: - 2.03)$

$= 0.9788$

Part d)

We want to find the probability that:

between 24 and 28, inclusive, will gain weight as a side effect.

P(24≤X≤28)=

P(23.5≤X≤28.5)

Convert to z-scores:

$P(23.5 \: < \: X \: < \: 28.5) = P( \frac{23.5 - 19.29}{4.33} \: < \: z \: < \: \frac{28.5 - 19.29}{4.33} ) \\ = P( 0.97\: < \: z \: < \: 2.13) \\ = 0.1494$

2.1.4 Practice: Adding Rational Numbers

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

4+(-6)+8+(-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

if she starts at 4 points and her first turn she cuts 6 trees then you can add a negative 6 which is the same as subtracting that 6 when she plants 8 add those points then for her last turn add a negative 1 which is the same as subtracting 1 and she should end up with 5 points.

Graph f(x) =-2x^+16x-30 by factoring to find the solutions, then find the coordinates of the vertex, and the axis of symmetry. I

fredd [130]

Answer:

<em>Observe attached image</em>

<em>Function zeros:</em>

(3, 0), (5, 0)

<em>Vertex:</em>

(4, 2)

<em>Axis of symmetry:</em>

<em> $x =4$ </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>First factorize the function</u>

$f (x) = -2x ^ 2 + 16x-30$

<em>Take -2 as a common factor.</em>

$-2(x ^ 2 -8x +15)$

<em>Now factor the expression $x ^ 2 -8x +15$ </em>

You must find two numbers that when you add them, obtain the result -8 and multiplying those numbers results in 15.

These numbers are -5 and -3

Then we can factor the expression in the following way:

$f (x) = -2(x-5)(x-3)$

<em><u>The quadratic function cuts the x-axis at </u></em><em>x = 3 and at x = 5.</em>

Now we find the coordinates of the vertex.

For a function of the form $ax ^ 2 + bx + c$ the x coordinate of its vertex is:

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

In the function $f (x) = -2x ^ 2 + 16x-30$

$a = -2\\b = 16\\c = 30$

<u>Then the vertice is:</u>

$x = \frac{-16}{2(-2)}\\\\x = 4$

The y coordinate of the symmetry axis is

$y = f (4) = -2 (4) ^ 2 +16 (4) -30\\\\y = 2$

The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that cuts the parabola in two equal halves. This axis of symmetry always passes through the vertex.

<u>Then the axis of symmetry is the line</u>

$x = 4$

<u>The solutions and the vertice written as ordered pairs are:</u>

<em>Function zeros:</em>

(3, 0), (5, 0)

<em>Vertex:</em>

(4, 2)
