Answer:

x = sqrt(273)/2 - 1/2 or x = -1/2 - sqrt(273)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x - 3 = 56/(x + 4)

Cross multiply:

(x - 3) (x + 4) = 56

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

x^2 + x - 12 = 56

Add 12 to both sides:

x^2 + x = 68

Add 1/4 to both sides:

x^2 + x + 1/4 = 273/4

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x + 1/2)^2 = 273/4

Take the square root of both sides:

x + 1/2 = sqrt(273)/2 or x + 1/2 = -sqrt(273)/2

Subtract 1/2 from both sides:

x = sqrt(273)/2 - 1/2 or x + 1/2 = -sqrt(273)/2

Subtract 1/2 from both sides:

Answer: x = sqrt(273)/2 - 1/2 or x = -1/2 - sqrt(273)/2

Answer:

I believe the answer is- The mean and MAD can accurately describe the "typical" value in the symmetric data set.

Step-by-step explanation:

The other answers don't make sense because the mean and MAD are being used for symmetrical distributions and asymmetrical means uneven distributions.

1) Given P(A) = 0.3 and P(B) = 0.5, do the following.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

1) a) 0.8

b) 0.6

2) a) 0.08

b) 0.14

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Given

$P(A) = 0.3$ and $P(B) = 0.5$

Let us learn about a formula:

$P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A\ and\ B)\\OR\\P(A\cup B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A\cap B)$

(a) If A and B are mutually exclusive i.e. no common thing in the two events.

In other words:

$P(A\ and\ B)$ = $P(A \cap B)$ = 0

Using above formula:

$P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A\ and\ B)\\\Rightarrow P(A\ or\ B) = 0.3 + 0.5 -0 = \bold{0.8}$

(b) P(A and B) = 0.2

Using above formula:

$P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A\ and\ B)\\\Rightarrow P(A\ or\ B) = 0.3 + 0.5 -0.2 = \bold{0.6}$

*************************************

1) Given

$P(A) = 0.4$ and $P(B) = 0.2$

Let us learn about a formula:

$P(A\ and\ B) = P(B) \times P(A/B)$ for dependent events

$P(A\ and\ B) = P(A) \times P(B)$ for independent events.

(a) If A and B are independent events :

Using the above formula for independent events:

$P(A\ and\ B) = 0.4 \times 0.2 = \bold{0.08}$

(b) $P(A / B) = 0.7$

Using above formula:

$P(A\ and\ B) = P(B) \times P(A/B) = 0.2 \times 0.7 = \bold{0.14}$
